@DarXyde But the ultimate decision will still be made by the CMA and according to a lot of these legal experts and CNBC the CMA rarely budges on a major decision. I do agree with you that this thing isn’t over. MS is not Nvidia, they have a lot of money and power, they will fight this until the end. I say it’s still 50/50.
The Path of Least Resistance.
@DarXyde How do the CMA lose when they’re the ones that have to approve it? Also the UK government is going to give the CMA even more power to fight these mergers later this year.
@GotGame818 Most of those games that you mentioned were multiplats that were in development before MS acquired them. High on Life was mid and it’s not 1st party, Hi-Fi Rush and Flight Simulator aren’t going to get people into your ecosystem, and the Halo Infinite multiplayer was a disaster.
@-Mila- RedFall was a major release man. It was MS’s one more thing from their 2021 conference, it opened up their show from last year. It was supposed to be one of their big 3 next to Starfield and Forza, just like Sony had their big 3 from last year in Ragnarok, HFW and GT7. RedFall flopped it is what is is.
@CrimsonWing69 It doesn’t matter though. One of the directors that directed one of the greatest games of the past decade directed this, his leadership should of made sure that something like this didn’t happen. The C team at Insomniac made Ratchet and Clank Rift Apart and that game was not only very polished, but very good.
@IamTylerDurden1 Agreed. There is a difference between Nvidia and MS. MS has too much pride and ego. It would be embarrassing for MS to lose a deal this big.
@S2Killinit I know you said in another article that you think the deal will still go through with concessions. But the question is what will MS agree to? The CMA may ask MS to remove COD from the acquisition, but there’s no way MS is going to do that.
@hofstadermam What if MS threatens to removes their games from the UK like Michael Pachter said they could do?
You do realize that the director of the dishonored games directed this. So you can’t use the whole “The B team made this” nonsense.
You’ll gladly pay 70$ for Grand Theft Auto 6, stop lying. Lol
@-Foxtrot Yeah it seems like you just have a hatred for multiplayer games. I’m not the biggest fan of multiplayer games, but like I said they can be done well. Also Titanfall 1 had no single player it was multiplayer only and it’s now a dead game, but it was still good. So yes that is a good example.
@-Foxtrot What do you have against live service games. I’m not a fan of live service games, but multiplayer games can be done right just look at Titanfall before EA killed it. As long as PS’s core studios keep making single player games, everything should be fine.
@-Foxtrot At least Tencent won’t take games away from other people.
@Father__Merrin It won’t get blocked in the US. The FTC doesn’t have the power and final say like the CMA has in the UK. Those Federal Judges will be on MS’s side in the US.
Lol Keep telling yourself that. It’s like that girl that keeps rejecting you and you think she will go out with you eventually. You really are delusional. Also China already rejected the deal.
@MadLad Ya’ll just tell ya selves anything. It’s like that girl that keeps rejecting you and you keep saying “she’ll go out with me eventually, I know she will” Lol
If the CMA blocks it how will that be possible? Lol
The FTC wants to block it, it’s those federal judges than will favor MS that won’t.
@-Foxtrot Fox still mad about TLOU2. Lol The general consensus was that she was a great Ellie, and she was.
