I was just thinking about that, lol. I guess it' s not "surprising" since it's got a larger pool of customers?
I mean he's just trying to get the best deal he can while he still has leverage on MS, I don't blame him for doing his job. The issue then becomes when SIE also tries to argue to the regulators that their business is at risk because the two parties can't come to an agreement, taking such an aggressive stance weakens their position.
I don't think the argument is in bad faith, but it surely wasn't going to sway most regulators, or stand up all that well in court.
I still think there's an outside chance the judge grants a PI since nothing in this case has been all that expected, and I think the cloud/subscription argument could have merit if anyone had bothered to quantify it. But so far it seems like the FTC has quite a challenge ahead of them to reconcile their theory of harm in the console market at least.
Would you mind dming me the link? I got kicked from the zoom call unfortunately and haven't been able to get back in.
Well, yes and no? It was a 360 launch title and also launched on PC, because it was (supposedly) the only console powerful enough to run the game as the PS3 wasn't out yet. However, so as to not leave last gen behind, Activision had another title, COD 2: Big Red One which launched on PS2, Gamecube and OG Xbox
To be fair, we don't even know if there were negotiations between the two companies. It could have solely been a matter of executives at MS kicking the tires and running the numbers before even approaching them for a deal. All I'm saying is that in retrospect it makes sense why XO19 had such a strong Square Enix presence, with the Kingdom Hearts ports announced, the Final Fantasy games coming to Game Pass and basically everything else that the two had been doing.
Kotick is saying that Sony has a massive competitive advantage because of their strong position in consumer electronics as well as their role in movies and music, giving them innumerable amount of IP to draw from. He even states they are the best consumer electronics company of all time. He confirmed PlayStation has twice as many Call of Duty players as Xbox, and thus also makes double the money from Playstation.
Bobby Kotick, ERA member confirmed then, just have to find his alt now.
Looks like redactions are kinda broken this time. Whoopsie.
Which document is this?
I think the most revealing thing is how many people tied to this case have Era accounts.
So, it's not because of technology, it's because of poor inputs that went into the planning. Furthermore, detonates a huge hole in a lot of arguments.
I'm not seeing enough reactions to things being said 😡(I can't listen in and I'm relying on you guys)
Reminds me of old UK laws where people were dubbed over.
You could have a AI reading the a closed caption translation in theory couldnt you, any way, doesnt help now.

I mean when even the guys in charge of Pokemon think the Switch was gonna bomb, I don't blame Bobby here lol. NO ONE saw it taking off it seems
Yeah the discord has been posted on other forums. So probably a lot of the people in it aren't even from resetera now.
WHOEVER IS QUOTING THAT 4060 REVIEW WITHOUT HIDING IT IS A NERD AND YOU SHOULD FEEL BAD!!!!!!!!!!!
Kotick talking about his aversion to putting Activision games on game subscription services now.
Says the idea would degrade the economics.
