| NintendoPie said: of course, my previous concerns about further consolidation within the industry are not too much of a fantasy. greed and corporate laziness are the name of the game, as always. and seeing people continue to root for monopolization and capitalism... so weird. |
Oh, I am over being surprised that some are rooting for monopolisation and consolidation, I am also over selling it to the rest of us as "pro-competitive".
We have a new level of gaslighting, conflating, spinning, avoidance of any valid objections, and rephrasing of whatever being said just to bend the truth. We've seen throughout the years but it's perhaps best embodied by the backlash the FTC got for a leak they had nothing to do with (conspiracy theories went wild lol), this thread (and many others online about this thread), coming to a full circle with Phil Spencer tweet and the reaction of his fans to it.
Surreal.
You share a leaked email that has a lot more than MS desire to buy Nintendo, a lot more, but all of that gets pushed aside, you get reminded that it's a 3 year old email, and that non of their public or private stated intents matter, and MS is not buying Nintendo and that there is absolutely nothing to see here.
Are you going to address the..... "BUT SPENCER TWEETED OTHERWISE, NO COMPANY HASN'T CONSIDERED ACQUIRING NINTENDO".... even though I haven't touched on this bit at all in the OP or the headline, and next, you'll get a YouTube link for Phil's next inevitable crybaby interview as further evidence that we are wrong about directly quoting the guy and commenting on his literal statements.
