I gave you the first one, but that's all I can do. I'm not invested enough to scrounge up a bot or make 40 alt accounts to give you more.

They did.

Sony agreeing to that deal while also being a player in the cloud market would have given MS more ammo to get the deal through... Is what I was about to say before seeing the 48 not at all from someone using bots or alt accounts disagrees that Sully got. Now I think the deal should have gone through. And I'm trashing my Playstation. Not even trading it in. And buying an Xbox. Because I am a sheeple who has no thoughts or opinions and just backfills that stu...
I dunno. I look at those 43 disagrees in such short time as hard evidence that N4G has way more bias in favor of Xbox than the rest of the internet. I mean, 43-3 (at time of writing). You got destroyed. Don't ever let anyone tell you this place isn't fair to MS.
@Aloymetal
I'm jealous. I thought I was higher up on their list, but my comment on this article hasn't been touched yet. They spammed both you and Sully before me.
Okay. Now it's the "UK's regulator authority must be feeling pretty dumb."
Twenty-two days ago it was, "This deal will pass thru and Sony will be the only one left begging MS to allow COD to continue on Playstation thanks to their arrogance and dishonesty at the top of an high level of stupidity!"
I not going to say who is or isn't dumb or stupid. What I'll do instead is say the SMART thing to do is to chill and let t...
@giovonni
The video said Pachter suggested they may be able to do that to get the CMA to approve the deal, in the event they're successful on appeal and the process essentially restarts. Pete was suggesting doing that, not in the context of trying to gain approval, but in the context of if the decision still stands.
That said, thank you for that, and going so far as to time mark it for me. I do like the video. I watched from the beginning. I stopped a...
@blackblades
All you said was others joined Sony in supporting the decision. Pay no mind to misrepresentations from anyone trying to punch a hole in your argument who shies away from accountability for their own claims. Not that it's relevant to your argument, but, for the record, Sony does not just compete in the console market and was specifically cited in the CMA decision on cloud gaming. Some people weren't paying attention and prematurely thought Jim Ryan was a...
Excuse me. Us Dino Crisis fans have waited long enough. Let us get our time. LOL.
MS passed on Spider-Man with the especially laughable in hindsight excuse that they wanted to focus on their own IP. The same Spider-Man they cited to the CMA to argue that the merger should be allowed because PS is so successful.
What are you basing that prediction on?
"If met, this target would bring the total of PlayStation 5 units that hit the shelves to 63.4 million by March 31, 2024."
"I´d stop reading right there. XD"
That's rich coming from someone who made a lot of anonymous claims about the same merger and went ghost to avoid accountability for those claims when the merger was blocked.
"CMA never mentioned SONY in their arguments. They said cloud gaming."
Wrong again.
"We are concerned that making Activision’s titles exclusive to Microsoft’s cloud gaming service would harm competition, particularly since our view is that Microsoft already holds a strong position in this market by virtue of its unparalleled advantages through its ownership of Windows, its cloud infrastructure, and its existing catalogue of first party ti...
I think it's hilarious. Microsoft's argument after neglecting to compete in the console market is that they should be able to buy their way to success via gobbling up large publishers because Sony is so successful and invested wisely in building their 1st party, effectively punishing the market leader for its success, which the CMA ultimately went along with. But wait! The CMA keeps that same energy when it comes to the cloud market. Now it's 'SO UNFAIR! MS is being punished f...
@Knushwood
"Who deployed the disagree bots?"
Someone trying to obscure the truth from any unknowing observers who didn't see the tallies before the manipulation. They also manipulated agrees for comments they favor. Regardless, it was a lazy effort. The bulk of the manipulated votes are on comments in this thread. Who does all that but doesn't bother spreading it out more to hide their intended target? "F-" for effort. Why both...
"Cma block this deal over a 3bil cloud industry lol but if you read the Prime Minster respond he said he want to have continue talks about this with Ms it not over 😄"
Not what was said.
"The government would continue to engage with Microsoft but Britain’s antitrust regulator, who blocked the deal on Wednesday, was independent, he said."
"Brexit not doing to good their Gdp is worser then Russia with sanc...
"I wonder if the same people calling Sony crybabies will now direct this towards MS."
To your point, has Sony come anywhere near the kinds of attacks and threats MS has lobbed at the UK and the CMA? Did Meta respond that way when the GIPHY acquisition was blocked by the CMA? I've seen comments from Sony about the CMA's reversal of it's stance on impacts to the console market that ranged from "respectfully" (Sony's wording) disagreeing to ...
I'm lost on what it is they hope to gain with the constant attacks, sneak disses, and implicit threats. It's like MS is getting high off its own supply, buying into the propaganda its brand ambassadors try to peddle to the rest of us. The PM isn't going to take over from the CMA. The CMA they're attacking is who they're going to have to go through if they beat the odds and get any traction with their appeal.
I'm not sure trying to bully a regulator ...
39 disagrees. 39???
What happened to the other alt account? There should be 40!
I know this may not seem like a big deal TO YOU, but I'm like Warrick Davis over here counting up my shillings. It's not about the ones I have. It's about the one I'm missing.
Do better.
