It won't change anytime soon! I can assure you that!

Were you banned at the time?? The thread bashing Sony over it were a lot more hostile than the thread joking at MS for the Ad. You are having double standards in your judgement or memory.

Well the example is good because Sony decided to respect one of their partners and a competitor decided to made a deal (that in some way harm Sony). But MS couldn't hold itself over a  ad? For a case were they have the right for temporary they didn't announce it clearly, for the case they have no right they tried to let people know they have the fame? That is hypocritical on your side.

Sony can sue... if they have a contract with activision about the ad rights (the ad rights are now Sony right in this way) them anyone promoting the game that aint Sony can be sued by then. And as the other guy said, even a regular person could make a complaint to the regulatory chamber for ads. They wouldn't go that far probably, but they may document it and have someone at MS agree and them circunvent those kind of agreements the same way and be protected.

What is the problem? Sony fans defend Sony and Bash MS, MS fans defend MS and bash Sony? So the problem is you trying to say one side get double standard and the other not.

OP doesnt make sense. Giving an opinion on something like Sony did on EA access isnt double standards. Every company has opinions on its competitors sometimes good, sometimes bad.

The reason why its double standards by MS is because they have a track record of popularising certain practises in the industry and then being bitter about it when the competitor starts doing it better than them. Contrastingly, EA access genuinely isnt better than PS+. We have had EA's biggest games like dead space 2 +3 and crysis 2 + 3 on PS+.

When MS signed a contract with Actvision that allowed Destiny on their console just like any game there were stipulations on MS ability to advertise that game. Just like when they signed a contract with Sony. Copyrights were infringed on and contracts were in danger of being breached if not completely so. It's seriously not healthy to continue to ignore/twist facts and reality in order to justify this. If it was clever or legal they wouldn't have taken it down so quickly, hell they would have plastered it everywhere like buses.

It is also in no way like the comments from one Sony employee on the value of EAA. One is the opinion of a single person that doesn't breach any laws/contracts. The other is the entire PR wing of Xbox breaching law/contracts with an Ad and then quickly removing it.

On the bright side in all this is at least good people(with questionable perspectives of reality/motives) have given all the good people of VGC more material for Memes. First we had "Globally in the US" now we have "The perfume Ad was clever, didn't breach any laws/contracts, and Sony does it all the time"

Nope you would have to be lind to think that sony gets more heat than Microsoft on this forum. 

I don't get why so many Xbox fans I see have to stretch the truth of a situation just so they can twist it into a Sony Too case. Any logical gamer from another fan base, or one that is unbiased, can see these situations are 100% different. So, why stretch it? Sony offering its opinion about a service, which explains to their customers why they turned it down, is now the same as MS not honoring a contract. A contract similar to what they themselves have signed many times, and Sony has honored. Just sour grapes from MS's end.

And then to stretch it even further by bringing TR into it? Really? Was Destiny (and for the sake of this argument, let's pretend it's a sequel to a multiplat that sold the most on the One) announced as a multiplat, only for Sony to come along and snatch it up as a console exclusive for an undetermined amount of time? Nope, Xbox One's Destiny will be launching alongside the PS4 version. Again, quit stretching so much, you're going to pull a muscle.

Does anyone really care about it outside forum stans of either console? If not, then it really doesn't matter. EA Access is doing very well on the Xbox One despite Sony fans criticising it and threatening to boycott them and Destiny will do better on PS4 by a longshot despite the Xbox heads and fans trying to drum up a bit of controversy.

That's two different things. Sony was just criticizing the service of EA with reasonable arguments. On the other hand, Microsoft acted very unprofessionally by bypassing the marketing contract between Sony and Activision. Plus, doing that in a childish manner.

It's also kind of funny, because Microsoft has had similar marketing deals with other publishers for example for all the latest Call of Duty games. And recently even buying the rights of an established IP like Tomb Raider for a certain period of time.

Some of these argument got stretched beyond the limits of the universe. Surprised the thread did not get locked due to the insane amount of straight up lieing being spewed.
Holy shit.
