Im shocked that you wouldnt know this .. But ES online?. But thats also on playstation .

The Judge specifically asked what Zenimax title is comparable to Call of Duty that Xbox has taken away from PlayStation and she specifically prefaced it by saying it had to be a huge, multiplayer title.

The FTC lawyers response was "The Elder Scrolls"

Microsoft's lawyer then injected and said, The Elder Scrolls has two versions, The Elder Scrolls Online which is a multiplayer title and still available on PlayStation and The Elder Scrolls VI which does not have multiplayer.

Nice. My favorite of all the AC games. Will be nice to play it again, on I'm assuming the next-gen version of the AnvilNext engine, which is being designed for AC Project Red (Japan) and AC  Project Hexe (Holy Roman Empire). If this remake is a few years out, I can't imagine it will be on the current version of the Anvil engine, which has been used from AC Origins in 2017 through AC Mirage in 2023. 

Lol. This feels like Ubisoft already knows Skull & Bones will be a bomb and so they're moving Ubisoft Singapore quickly over to Black Flag Remake.

The order of events: Everyone liked Black Flag, in particular, the pirate aspect > Ubisoft sees that and thinks, we'll create a pirate game > Ubisoft completely misses the point of why everyone liked Black Flag, they simply wanted a pirate game without the Assassin's Creed stuff, instead they make something which barely appeals to what they wanted > Waste years on that > Dump it out and move onto a Black Flag Remake.

Seems Bloober Team announced they are dropping psychological horror games after their recent 3rd and final Layers of Fear game, and will make more mainstream horror games in the future, such as the already announced Scopophobia and Silent Hill 2 remake, as they want to grow their popularity beyond what psychological horror allows. End of an era. Bit of a shame, there aren't many devs out there working on psychological horror games, and Bloober was among the best who did make them. Well, at least we still have Project Mara for psychological horror.

Lol...They do realise that Silent Hill is heavily a psychological horror, right?

This deal is 100% procompetitive in that. If this deal wasnt done and if Activision decided to sell their IP to cloud gaming what companys would be able to buy them? Ms and amazon etc. The smaller start ups would be f**ked. How could they hope to compete with Amazon or MS?. This deal helps them by giving them start ups access to some of the biggest gaming IP's in the industry something they would never of got otherwise.

Exactly, I don't understand why some regulators believe that if Cloud Gaming became this huge thing they expect it to become, that companies like Activision-Blizzard would simply give away their titles for free to all these Cloud companies. It's Activision we're talking about, they're going to demand a high price and the smaller start-up companies won't be able to afford it.

If anything, Activision-Blizzard would make companies fight over their IP and sell them to the highest bidder, which would either be Microsoft, Amazon or Nvidia, Lol. The EU's contract is the most procompetitive scenario, it allows anyone who wants a contract to get one and since EU worked on it with Microsoft, I trust that they've made it under terms which are reasonable for smaller companies.
