I had a good chuckle at the pie charts, shows how laughable the idea that this would be an unfair merger is. Especially given that all the signs point to Sony and Square merging next year- there is not one Squaresoft title announced to be released on the Xbox in 2023 and several weird omissions.

"Microsoft Corp. President Brad Smith said the software giant told the US Federal Trade Commission that it would sign a legally binding agreement guaranteeing it would provide Call of Duty to gaming rivals including Sony Group Corp. as part of its $69 billion purchase of Activision Blizzard Inc.
The company, seeking regulatory approval for the deal, said it made the offer before meetings last week with FTC commissioners and before the agency v...
Seems to be very dependant on whether you enjoy the humour or not.
But it was also done by chapters so you couldn't revisit areas. Changes things if you can pop back to areas aftter the storyline has effected them.
It's a bit less cohesive all round. The ending was a weird shoehorn of the book ending that doesn't mesh well and they never really stuck the landing imo. It was a blast though and there's a lot of scope for refinement.
What is with this disagreement of facts.

Tell me you didnt read the paper without reading the paper. It highlights exactly how takeovers can occur in Japan.

1. Is flat out not true. The only area with such restrictions in Japanese business law is for defence and areas deemed of national interest. There are countless companies owned by foreign entities, even M$ fully own a japanese developer as it is.

Even Sony is majority owned by foreign investors at this point, see their own stock summary:
Activision Blizzard revenue is much higher than Take Two's.
Unbelievable amount of free content for this game. Haters can hate all they want but Sea of Thieves has been unreal the last 2 years.
Seems like a real labour of love for Josh Sawyer, glad he was allowed to make something unique.
Yikes.
Game looks fangtastic.
I will play the fajitas out of this.

I own shares of all three, its very easy to buy shares these days.
Not quite but mostly. The big exclusives next year are Series S/X only so far as is a few like Flight Simulator. I think they are aiming to have every game playable on the xbox One as a cloud based game though.
Because its mostly on the Developer side. This would give you the option to disable it if their implementation of quick resume isn't working well.
Best gameplay of the series hand down, its not even close. Worst story in the series hand down, its not even close.
Few publishers are willing to allow DRM free copies of their games for sale I imagine.
