This FTC/MS fiasco is more exciting than anything Geoff can drum up.

Poor Geoff. So many people will be too focused on this drama. It is giving me a headache trying to read it all and keep up with it.

Dude, take the rest of the evening off! Enjoy TGA. There’s plenty of news already posted to keep this site busy till tomorrow



You called down the thunder, now reap the whirlwind

Shika was wrong all this time, Microsoft should have released an even weaker console

Just hang in there and know you're doing The Lord's work by tabulating all of the Game Awards announcements so I can outright avoid it.



The biggest threat to this deal in my opinion would be some small developer or Publisher could show that this deal hurts them in some meanaful way. It cannot be Sony because as the market leader even after this deal, MS can show how Sony deals and market dominance forces MS to make this purchase in order to compete as Sony throws their weight around. It's probably the reason why MS continue to lead the narrative that they are weak even though Parent MS can make a 68 billion purchase without blinking.

Right now everything is hypothetical like this FTC lawsuit but in the courts, you actually need solid proof. If Phil has been playing this game like I believe he has, there will be none.

Haha yeah I should probably do that. Will I? Very unlikely. Well okay, I probably won't write up about EVERY game showcased which is said to be 40 to 50. But on the bigger games and maybe a handful of the smaller games.

I do that with every gaming showcase/event.

I might not write up EVERY game showcased, but will do at least all the big ones and a handful of the smaller ones.

FTC is baselessly speculating that since Activision collaborates with hardware manufacturers to ensure optimal experience, Microsoft owning them gives them the ability to degrade the experience on PlayStation (and GeForce Now...Which Activision-Blizzard doesn't support?).
