Glad that isn't a rule in the United States. |
May I ask why? How does it benefit you as a consumer that the biggest companies are left alone to rampage through massive, cynical advertising due to a lack of rules of conduct and competition premises? Competiton is a good thing for consumers and the market in general.

I'm sure if it was that big of a deal then there would probably be a law against it, but since there isn't I can only assume that it isn't that big of a deal. I mean why does it matter if one company pokes fun about another? As long as it isn't malicious that is.

It is malicious, that's the point. Companies know no boundries as profits are all that matter. The law is here to regulate in such situations.
The lack of a law against in the US does not mean it's no big deal. It means your law makers are weak against the almighty lobbyists. I'm glad the EU is much more in balance.

What's malicious about MS saying trade in your PS3 for 100 credit towards a Xbox One? Also I agree our lawmakers are spinless pigs, but I could probably guess a good amount of the lawmakers in the EU are the same way.

You're right on both accounts and no there is not much wrong here. It's just that this practice is mostly bad news and is only beneficial to those who have more advertising dollars.
But let's not get off topic that much haha. It's just the difference between us europeans where socialism rules and you americans where capitalism rules that's all! (Somewhat of a stereotype, but you get my point)
