| Ruler said: MS and other american IT monopolies like google are facing alot of anti trust law suits in europe. In 2010 MS was even forced to give european users of windows a choice of various of webrbowser by installing it, only in 2014 they removed it again. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BrowserChoice.eu I think in this mood in the EU it would be very smart by sony or valve or both to sue Microsoft in europe over their xbox app, it could dissapear and be an optional app for european users. Whats your opinion? I think they could have success. |
They cannot forbid MS to have an app that buyers of their games must use. In the case of IE, internet in itself isn´t MS´s product, therefore forcing buyers to accept IE was in violation of EU laws. That decision has been heavily questioned though.
And why would it be smart? Do you seriously think it is a good idea for companies to be so small minded and not even able to compete on the same level without resorting to using the court?
