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.

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.

Sony can't. They aren't in competition, they have no basis.

Valve... well they can't really. Microsoft would fuck them up.

Like they fucked up opera?

Wait, why would they sue MS for their xbox app? Isn't that like trying to Sue MS cause they only provide windows media player and not like VLC or something else?

lol on what grounds would Sony sue? Hell, aren't their TV's preloaded with PS Now? Should Netflix sue?

Steam loads their service on their machines. Do we even know if the Xbox app is mandatory, or even competes with Steam?

Come up with a better example because Netflix came with all smart sony tv's long before ps now even released.
