It’s called Stockholm’s Syndrome.
This.
@Foxtrot mods are aware of the downvotes issue and are working on it.
I watched Skillup’s review…..ouch.
I really liked the first game but practises like these compel me to vote with my wallet. Sorry EA, no sale here. Will wait for price drop, trade or buy used.
MS is certainly feeling it by their own admission. They used the word “cannabilizing”.
That would be a disservice to Sega
Orch….
I’ve run foul of this too. I already notified the mods hope they can do something. Butt sore buggers.
I think it’s time to accept that this deal isn’t going through. It’s good for the industry as a whole and will dissuade all other role players from attempting the same.
Ah the benefits of modern gaming. Had this game been released complete on disc….
It’s not their money. MS may refuse to allow them to use the funds and they would have to reapply for it. Remember they also liable to pay Activision 3 billion dollars. What will their Board do?
They can’t. It’s not XBOX money it was allocated to them by Microsoft for this acquisition. Therefore the money has to be reverted back to the mother body sans the 3 Billion dollars. There must be a very pissed off Board. Imagine losing 3 Billion dollars whilst running a non performing division. I well and truly believe that the sun is setting on certain executives at XBOX.
EU will look at the CMA reasoning seriously. In matters like these Brexit cuts very little ice.
It’s definitely doable with their current reported numbers. Maybe they bullish because they planning to drop a newer rumoured slim model as well.
This is how you run a gaming division. No metric, no play on words. Just numbers and results.
Your denial is very strong indeed.
So they threatening countries now when they can’t get their way?

It’s pointless losing an appeal. The CMA has a history of being steadfast in their decisions and to add to the pot Microsoft even threatened the UK government. Right now there’s a strong anti MS sentiment going around. European Commission are watching and taking notes…
