The last point is actually their focal point (it's detailed in the report). The competition is truly net negative and they break it down pretty reasonably

Nobody wants anymore Activision games I assume? It's just CoD? We're not creaming over WoW Switch or anything

Seems like very little wins to sign over so much market advantage to Microsoft

activision published sekiro they are forgiven for their sins

I'm not clued into gaming so please forgive me but from a legal standpoint - ignoring all talks of Cloud advantage s*** - I would have shut this s*** down exactly like Penguin I posted earlier

Activision banned all their games from geforce now tho. without this deal they not getting s*** making the cloud competition worse!

well I mean legally their only reasoning to block the deal was solely based on cloud gaming

in every other aspect they agreed that the deal is beneficial and great for consumers

it's just cloud gaming they have an issue with

Ngl im kinda in for the flood of YouTube videos coming

I want to know people’s opinions

Xbox owners rn

we won

Please tell me how a huge corporation buying up a smaller corporation to implement their game catalogue into an exclusive subscription service & preventing people who own a different platform from playing those games, benefits anyone but company executives and shareholders?

Do tell

Bootlicking monopoly moves by the tech industry in the name of your favorite video game system is some autistic ass s*** ngl

How is Microsoft preventing people from playing games ? If the deal passes technically more people get access to these games than before at a cheaper entry for more overall value . Even Nintendo would have access which is huge in itself . Plus all other cloud services had long term deals which means it would still be available outside of xcloud . I know you have your agenda so i know you won’t meet me in the middle but i responded anyways cause why not

Can’t wait til the CMA blocks any subsequent sizable acquisition from Sony to protect the sanctity of the VR market

Plus this deal passing doesn’t do a crazy amount for Microsoft’s market placing in the gaming division . They are just in a more competitive spot

Have my agenda? Wtf

Unless you been jokingly speaking in hyperbole this whole time . You seem to think every element of this deal is bad and game pass is horrendous as a whole

I barely f*** with videogames anymore anyway. Capitalism has stifled innovation within the industry and we’re left with everything being unfinished or a subscription.

We still have a few gems here & there but damn, we have fallen hard

GamePass is awesome right now. I love subbing for $1 and playing Sea of Thieves every few months, but eventually that $1 deal will go away, then the prices will get hiked, and finally, it will be the only way to play certain games.

It’s going to end up like the streaming wars of television and movies, and even music!

The art will be further devalued, and we will be left with garbage games made only to increase subscription numbers

Microsoft Rewards <3

Never paid a single dollar for gamepass and ive been a gamepass member since launch

The British haven’t messed up this bad since the Balfour Declaration

At that point just pirate the games

I don’t think this fear is irrational . Even if i disagree i can get where the worry comes from
