What exactly is the fuck around that Sony did?
This should be very illuminating, but it's understandable that Sony wants this to remain in a black box. If I was out there claiming that one game's potential exclusivity could destroy my company and asking regulators to intervene, and had some awkward facts my business dealing, I'd want them to be deemed irrelevant as well.
Making claims that they wouldn't be able to compete without CoD. Now Microsoft is asking for receipts via the courts. Pretty straightforward.
LOL. Calm down a bit.
It goes way back. To be honest...in any industry, it can be very intimidating when a bigger and powerful company is plotting your downfall.

This has zero bearing on the situation today. Sony have been in complete control for a long time.It goes way back. To be honest...in any industry, it can be very intimidating when a bigger and powerful company is plotting your downfall.
Microsoft entered the console business to stop Sony, former VP says
Microsoft entered the console business primarily "to stop Sony," Joachim Kempin, former vice president of Windows Sales at Microsoft told IGN. "Sony was always very arm's length with Microsoft,"...
The Sony Worldwide Studios were founded before launching the PS3 and became the gold standard starting with releases from 2009 and going on.
What does this have to do with the ABK acquisition?It goes way back. To be honest...in any industry, it can be very intimidating when a bigger and powerful company is plotting your downfall.

No, and people really need to stop saying this. They can do more than one thing at once.
Oh wow.. I didn't see this. Does this include all published titles including money hats and full on documention, clauses..etc regarding all information on these deals? Spicy.
It wouldn't definitely include that, and the actual details on the alleged blocking of games coming to Game Pass, rather than the mere speculation we've been having. Everyone should welcome it.
It would be catastrophic.
Well I find the Microsoft leaving console space not only be a huge de-rail but also in bad faith..
Still makes no sense that MS would ditch their console business based on a deal falling through that is primarily aimed at their mobile and PC expansion plans.
Yes and no.
I mean, we can kinda see it happening now albeit slowly. Arogant Sony is kind of back and is far from being like the Sony we had at the end of PS3/throughout ps4 era. Their success with PS4 and hype/success of PS5 is getting into their heads + lack of Xbox output of quality AAA games is not helpign that (although this hopefully will change within a year or two).
Some of y'all seem to really get pleasure in trashing Microsoft's actions, huh.

And one they they were never strategically planning, and simply took advantage of the situation where they were looking to sell.
There's no way. Apple would fail at the console business. It doesn't take 1 killer app, not in the games industry. When you're entrenched in your console of choice, it takes more than 1 game to consider investing into a new console.
I mean, it's arguably what they need, a sort of in-house blueprint to success.
That doesn't make sense lol

Yeah that's what I am saying. It just makes 0 sense for them to leaving gaming at this point in time
This is EXACTLY the tension. People forget this whenever we have this conversation. It takes TIME. Time is not free, and money can't buy time. 70 billion dollars "invested on first party, but not invested THAT way" neither guarantees success nor delivers it tomorrow. In fact, by definition, it would take many, many years. Well, that's great! Why can't MS just wait?! Well because by that point all the other competitors have entrenched even more, further solidified their advantages, and are in an even better position to prevent MS from succeeding let alone beating them.
Well then, Cerny is lying or I'm misinterpreting (watch the video).
They bought about 18 studios and Bethesda before this though. They were well on their way to remedy said weakness.
