FTC: some services are just a library, some are a library and a cloud like GPU, some are just a cloud. Competition is about price and content. GP a strategic driver for MSFT's gaming business.

Judge Corley: but Mr. Kotick is not putting it onto Sony or Microsoft subscription services?

FTC talking about that some Activision content was for 2.5 hours. FTC says Activision will put content on MORE services if they follow the money.

FTC basically just makes the argument that any acquisition means one independent economic operator less. That's also the CMA approach. But we haven't heard anything so far from them that makes a substantial lessening of competition reasonably likely.

Judge Corley recognizes that the FTC says cloud is the future, that's where it's going, but also acknowledges it's unclear how exactly it will happen.

Wilkinson says it's not enough to speculate how it's going to happen

Judge Corley now pointing to those contracts Microsoft signed with the like of Nvidia to give them content and how that would not be good for consumers -- wants FTC to comment on that.

These FTC lawyers are so fucking stupid...

Why does it matter where Boosteroid or Ubitus are located?!

A thing called datacentres exist! It's irrelevant where the companies HQ is, Microsoft is located in America, does that mean xCloud is irrelevant in every other country? No! Lol.

Judge wants to know why Nvidia would do that deal.

FTC: they got a deal for Microsoft's own contract. That is not merger-specific, they could have done that anyway.

Here the FTC conveniently ignores that Microsoft's relationships with Amazon and Google are complicated, and that the remedies agreed upon with the EC are available to everyone.

I'm very optimistic that Judge Corley will give significant weight to the existing agreements and remedies, and if the FTC runs to the 9th Circuit to appeal the denial of a preliminary injunction, it'll make the legal argument that such agreements should be ignored.

Fuck me this Microsoft lawyer is on fire.

I think she's solo'd like 90% of Microsoft's closing argument while FTC has jumped between about 4 lawyers.

This is gold:

Judge: "How is putting COD on NVidia not good for consumers?"

FTC dude: "It could be... and it WOULD be... But we don't know..."

He literally SAID that... I mean, wow
