Ftc has literally no case. Literally grasping at straws. Without having a sliver of understanding how the gaming industry works.
They dont need a case they need to agree lol 😂 yall slow
@fabolousjada5070 The fact you use “yall” is all we need to see that you’re indeed the “slow” one.
They need a case, the only leg they have to stand on is the cloud gaming side. Which isn’t even a market as per testimony from several people.
How about listen to the actual trial instead of getting all your info from fanboys.
@Kamen I listened to the trial. And you have to be a really special brainwashed playstation fanboy to think FTC has a strong case. Objectively they don’t. Regardless if the PI is approved.
If it’s abandoned hopefully they can sue the ftc.
no they can’t FTC needs more time for evidence against 18-months wasn’t enough time
Haha bro they cant sue the FTC
Technically if it’s abandoned then Microsoft pay 3 billion to Activision. Microsoft won’t want to pay 3 billion so they will do whatever they can to try and get this deal completed. I don’t think it will complete, it sounds like the FTC might have done just about enough to get a win in this case.
@Kam this is good for consumers, why do you care about Sony and the government ftc
At the pace of this acquisition and the current bull market, the acquisition could be holding back Activision’s stock price. I still would expect a sell off if it fails but recovery shortly after.
I guess eighteen months wasn’t enough time for the FTC to gather enough evidence 🧾 🧾 they need more time and more taxpayer money 🤑💰
Microsoft basically destroyed the whole argument of FTC that COD will not be on PlayStation. If this deal doesn’t go through, then the Judge is an idiot.
Cod is really just a small part of this. Cloud gaming the bigger part. Imagine Xbox telling Sony. If you want cod on your console then you need to add our cloud gaming service and we are removing all cod games from your online store.
@yourin8er Lmao. Microsoft is already ready to sign a 10 year contract with Sony that COD will be available on Sony. They said the same thing in court and for that FTC had no counter argument.
I don’t think the judge will be an idiot if this deal doesn’t complete. He will basically see that Microsoft are aiming to out spend Sony because they can and have the ability to eat their losses. Nintendo and Sony can’t afford to make losses on a scale like Microsoft, because it’s game over for them if the try and do things Microsoft’s way. In fact Microsoft will be hedging on Sony to do things their way.
@yourin8erthey can remedy that so it doesn’t happen
An analogy to all this is simple !
Do you want the nickel and dime low end, low budget ,crappy subscription based ,multiple seasons ,and episodes , movie entertainment experience ? such as Netflix? (Akin to Microsoft game pass)
Or do you want the high end super block buster AAA movie experience ; made for Cinema , IMAX ,HDR 4K , and Blu-ray ,with sound and visuals that are state of the art ,engaging and revolutionary visuals ? (Akin to Sony game development )
The past two generations have been a pathetic mess of stagnation thanks to the lack of focus on games and a focus on subscriptions and micro transactions which is a poor excuse to skirt having to actually develop software and spend money that pushes the limits of compute power and high speed memory space .
Thank you Microsoft for disrupting and ruining the innovation and progress of the console game industry .
Why is Ratchet and Clank Rift Apart the only real next gen game available at the moment 2023?
Why a trillion dollar company (Microsoft ) isn’t spending twice the amount Sony does to build games that pushes the limits of its supposed most powerful console on the planet? F-U MS stay out of console gaming !
It’s like reading the ramblings of a bum on Hollywood Boulevard
@Black Mesa Cakei like to see you after july 4th and they get rejected … sour boys😢
You forgetting plagues tale? 😂😂😂
Sony games are the same shitty 10-20 hour campaigns, 1 and done
The reason why Microsoft aren’t spending money on creating high quality games is because they don’t want to, they don’t want to invest in their studios to create those good quality games. Instead they want to buy themselves to the number one spot. The difference between MS and Sony is just that Sony will buy a studio and not interfere in their business look at bungie they are still working independently even though they are part of PlayStation, whereas Microsoft who bought Bethesda told Bethesda cancel all your content for other platforms your games will only be going to Gamepass. Gamepass will destroy the current sales market for quality games.
America should be ashamed of the FTC, this is tax payer money at work. They dont care if they lose, they just want to look tough.
Jim Ryan will soon take a knee 🤣🤣
