Yes. They just so happen to suddenly want to go on multiple different platforms that they never planned to be on before and suddenly a government entity will just blindly believe this new pattern of behavior and excuse their past behavior and management styles.

Sony's stance has nothing to do with Microsoft asking for information irrelevant to their statements and the case of whether MS should be allowed to buy Activision/Blizzard/King. Quit acting like this is a Sony versus Microsoft thing. Sony stated things that were shown as true when MS documents came out. Such as, how GamePass is not good for the market and they're only getting games on there the way they had been because they are paying a lot of extra money...

You talk a lot like you know about this stuff but I really don't think you understand. You just say some things are this way or that way without thinking why that is or what the people really want. Productivity goes up with remote work done right. So does reach for skilled employees that don't live nearby. Having remote work setups also means less issues with sick days and missing days of work for other reasons. Most people are more creative in their own den...
Remote work has added productivity to many other fields. People tend to enjoy and be happier at home than to deal with a commute and pay for gas, wake up earlier, plan, etcetera. Yes, sometimes we need physical interaction and visuals in person, but this does not need to be an everyday thing at all.
Don actually did a great job. He got canned by listening to Microsoft and pushing their new ideas of always online, drm, and Kinect. When he was simply pushing a game console for the sake of gaming it was a huge hit. The only issue was the RRoD and when 2010 came along they promoted Phil to overall in charge of gaming studios and it's been an absolute drought since then.
I love when people throw in an lmao, lol, or XD face to act like they weren't a little bothered in their comment
@Ryuk
Oh come on. Quit faking so hard. What's wrong with you? Where is your correction of these facts? Where did you get these mysterious details from? You clearly have practiced the appearance of sounding smart and throwing things out there to discredit people to convince a herd mentality that you must be the smart one in the room. The judge agreed with Sony. Show us differently. I've read other articles. Same thing on the same topic.
Where did you get your facts from? You're saying this as if Sony has not had responses that have actually turned out well for them and gained support to hold up this acquisition from public officials that are allowing this to be stalled and further reviewed. And, in this very article the judge in fact said don't hand in those papers because they asked for more then necessary which is a ridiculous ask for a competitor trying to get your internal information without proper reasoning. ...
Lol. Here is the newest anti-Sony statement we will be saying in the comments guys. Now we have people perpetuating Sony "always" cries wolf and plays victim since ever.
"yet they always think themselves as the victim"
Elaborate how Sony has ever consistently said they were victims of anything they weren't. And without exaggeration.

Because it was the first console that could handle a game like Morrowind at the time. Nothing to do with a great partnership.
That's when those involvements carry on with those matters specifically but don't converse or mention anything else. Professionalism. They won't just necessarily cut them off entirely. Notice the title says "not returning" calls FOR a certain topic as well. That's modern journalism. It sounds really bad that Sony isn't communicating at all! But, read everything and it actually means Sony is only not communicating this and that, x and y.
It's not the same concept. The bigger the boat, the bigger the wave. That's like saying "same difference". If it's different.. it's not the same.
How is the nurturing argument a cop out? What do you think makes it irrelevant as a good point?
Stop kidding yourself. Too much damage control for MS when they still haven't earned a good standing. I don't see anyone blaming for a just released game and yet instant verbal awarding to them for games they had nothing to contribute to, and even praise for fixing games with massive shortcomings at launch while forgetting they have many others still unfixed or failed to follow through. Lets not make up arguments or cherry pick one fanboy on another team as the realistic public commen...
Because, they have rarely gone and bought any major third party developer that wasn't already nearly making games entirely for them during a strong partnership over many years.
They also know how to manage the studios they have and are famed for quality studio management. Microsoft is the opposite, notorious for poor quality games, incomplete releases, disappointments, and constantly backing up to the same titles over and over without anything in between.
...
You're saying a whole lot of what ifs and uncertainties.
All three gaming companies already buy timed exclusives. They all do it. This is not Microsoft's retaliation to Sony buying timed exclusives or anything like that. This is Microsoft wanting to keep a grip on the subscription market which is the only thing they have cared about investing in. I'm not totally defending timed exclusives. But, a timed exclusive that will come to other platforms, or even a perm...
What happened that the author is mistreating people?
I refused to order the offical Sony headset when the mic wasn't so good. I just don't get why the mic of all things is an afterthought on don't otherwise perfect headsets meant for talking to people with
Finally! I think I'll order the steelseries headset I've been wanting now. The one that can be connected to both PS5 and PC so I don't have to plug it in every time I switch
Indeed,
Just suddenly changing your tune will definitely make them suddenly allow them to do whatever they want with this massive acquisition with no fear of possibly reversing such things in the future. It's not like any company could reverse decisions once a deal has had final approval on a government basis.
