Shouldn't the title be "CMA heads politely yet firmly tell regulators to shove it and let them do their jobs."
The entire article is literally the CMA telling regulators why they stick with their decision and why the regulators are wrong with their question that the CMA is stopping the UK from being Silicon Valley.
The other half is Microsoft reps crying about how the UK is unfair.
If you are a game developer and know you made a kick ass AAA game, why do you want to shoot yourself in the foot sales wise and put it on Gamepass day one instead of letting consumers buy it for full price?
Good video games are selling like hot cakes despite inflation and the market has show $70 dollar games aren't killing the market.
No developer in their right mind would screw themselves out of a huge poten...
Wouldn't the fact Nintendo and Sony have been outselling Microsoft since Gamepass was invented proves that people aren't opting for Gamepass?
The service has been out for roughly half a decade and hasn't changed jack squat in the market. Even games that Microsoft has marketing for aren't going to Gamepass any time soon (Diablo 4).
Gamepass gets indies and smaller games that developers aren't expecting to do well so they can make some m...
If Microsoft makes COD exclusive at most I see is the month the game comes out, Xbox might be the best selling console in America.
For the rest of the year, it's Sony and Nintendo running the show.
God forbid Sony start bring back their old first party shooters (Killzone, Resistance, Socom) not that they will outsell Cod but giving gamers options will attract new gamers.
TLDR: The only was I see Microsoft ever beating Sony or Ninte...
Sony and Nintendo dominate in Japan because they actually make games that people want to buy while Microsoft had a decade where they didn't put out anything to attract consumer.
I have no idea why you Xbox fans keep harping about how rich Microsoft is while last year they didn't put out anything except some average AA games while there competitors put a cigarette out on MS head
Protip: If you mr console of choice needs to bribe politicians to hav...
"In the press release, the CMA admits there wouldn't be any competition dangers to the console market as the potential advantages of Microsoft making Call of Duty exclusive to Xbox consoles wouldn't be worth the cost of losing all the revenue the franchise's games make on PlayStation platforms. This is, after all, what Microsoft had been claiming all along."

Read the article man. They said this because it would be a huge fuck up on Microsoft part to no...
I just find it funny as fuck that all you Xbox fans need Microsoft to buy everything and use the government to stop Sony from dominating while Sony make games people want to play.
When your at the top, everyone likes to take a shot apparently.
This article is pure trash. It's roughly 5 paragraphs that use one Reddit thread with a total of 20 comments (with comments talking about how easy it was to get help from playstation support) and a resetera thread of 1 page.
No statistics, no real evidence, this is basically the n4g version of a TikTok article on the dailydot.com
Didn't the price of Xbox games and the console in certain countries increase despite Microsoft trying to be the good guy and said there was no plans to do so?
Y'all take a tweet as fact when it's nothing but a rumor but think the mess y'all saying is common sense opinion.
At the end of the day, y'all mad because y'all brought a console from a man who craps in your month on a daily basis and instead of criticizing him, you open your mouth wider and ask for more.
The only reason y'all even care about the deal is because Sony and Nintendo dunk of Microsoft so hard, the only way they can com...
Even the article talks about everything but actual support and sales.
People can sprout "All games need to be on all consoles(except Xbox games)" all they want, but this is a business. It takes money to make these games and companies are trying to make their money back.
7 remake showed PlayStation fans will support and buy final fantasy games day one, while most Xbox fans aren't going to touch it unless it's on Gamepass.
