I honestly find the idea that the FTC would really wanna take MS to court over this so hilarious, I almost kinda hope it happens lol

I wonder if there's anything stopping Microsoft from just taking 40% of ABK if the deal is blocked, Lol.

Minority investments, since an FTC block would be saying to the entire industry that no big company can acquire no big company.

Dickgate? What did I miss?

The hacker that hacked Talon's profile and posted dick pics all over the homepage, as well as permabanning many of the largest accounts on the site (including several people in this thread, myself, Ryuu, and others).

And on PS+ who the fuck does Sony think they are lmao.

Pretty sure their mindset is, “do you know who the fuck we are?! We’re Sony!” 

Sony is just throwing as much shit to the wall as possible, they must know these arguments are absolutely stupid, but they don't care because their true intention is to block the deal as they expressed to the CMA and they're "getting away" with it because it seems like the FTC is far too interested in "big tech bad" and getting a political win than actually looking into the effects on the market.

Like to break it down, they complain that Microsoft doesn't clearly state how CoD will be available post agreement, well, since you block xCloud, how else do you think? Obviously, it's native ports, there is literally no other option. Wanting CoD on the same date, reasonable, with the same features? I'm assuming they'll throw a tantrum about "Game Pass Perks" in that case.

If they're asking for CoD to launch into PS+ on the same date as Game Pass (and for free?) then they're absolutely fucking insane, Lol. They're just throwing random shit to block the deal entirely; next they'll demand that Microsoft pays THEM the $69bn.

"The same team reviewing this merger is the one that challenged the Meta - Within deal"

They claimed that Meta was a competitor to Within and later dropped their claim that Meta was a competitor to Within, Lol.

I wouldn’t be surprised if Sony does demand some sort of payment for “future potential losses of revenue” as a consequence of MS owning CoD lol
