Microsoft & Xbox vs FTC trial Day 2 was a huge WIN for Xbox. Phil Spencer took the stand and embarrassed the FTC in regards to Call of Duty and the Xbox Activision Blizzard Deal and explained why Xbox bought Bethesda after PlayStation was rumored to be buying Starfield exclusivity.

Double standards and little old hypocrisy, that's the real reason why these biased hypocritical individuals hate "Xbox" exclusives (especially certain fanboys and some gaming media) Only their lord and saviour Sony Playstation can have infinite amount of exclusives, because it's their "gaming god" that can do absolutely no wrong and deserves everything. Rise of Tomb Raider situation is proof of this hypocrisy, Xbox got lambasted for it and thus they avoid doing any big 3rd party IP money-hats unless their own studios could develop it (Machine Games is developing Indiana Jones as Xbox exclusive for example) Sony Playstation on the other hand continues to do as they please with huge 3rd party money-hats exclusives because they're pretty much untouchable gaming gods that no one would dare to criticize.. especially due to their huge armies of rabid fanboys attacking anyone that ever dare to criticize Playstation, this Japanese brand is so protected that even the American gov & FTC would go to such lengths to defend a foreign company

If Sony bought Activision, that could've legitimately harmed competition as you damn well know Sony would make CoD a PS5 exclusive in a heartbeat, potentially permanently damaging Xbox's chances of survival in the console market.

They DO keep games off of xbox. Therefore it's proof that FF7 remake will also never come out on xbox because these deals. Glad Microsoft gave them the definition of eff around and find out. They went from trying to get starfield to losing Bethesda. And they tried making cod exclusive to Playstation only. And Jim crying lying Ryan tried to say things to make xbox look bad. Now this is widespread and they're dirty as can be.

We gamers get screwed by unfinished games or all this other crap companies keep doing. Instead of being venomous towards each other, should be coming together. Get over the stupid Sony/Xbox feud, childish, I would rather fight for good games on release like the old PS3/360 era

They are not taking anything away cause those games are not even on the other platform to begin with.

@psykorobot6807 11 ай бұрын

The House Oversight Committee has opened an investigation into the FTC (specifically Khan). Although spearheaded by several Republicans there are Democrats that seem keenly involved. At the very least the FTC shouldn't get the increase (hundreds of millions) in additional funding Khan is asking for. I said this after both days, I believe the FTC lawyers are throwing the case. They aren't bad lawyers. So, you must wonder why they fall into so many obvious mistakes. I know they were given a lousy hand to begin with, but they keep asking questions they don't already know the answer to. You never ask a question you don't know the answer. Ther FTC questions often (even with their own witnesses) lead to proving Microsoft's case not the FTC's. Remember Khan is not well liked at FTC. There has been a rampant exit of staff these past few years. From my understanding most of the staff did not want this case to go to court. They knew it did not meet any legal threshold to be blocked. Yet, she wants to transform the FTC into something different. She runs teh FTC like her personal fiefdom and does not listen to anybody, she just does what she wants.

@vullord666 11 ай бұрын

Its the fact that it was the FTC that brought up the “console wars” and Phil had steer the conversation from a made up twitter argument to actual revenue numbers and market share. The FTC isn’t arguing against Microsoft buying ABK, they’re arguing against Xbox having exclusives period and with about as much sophistication as your average twitter console warrior. If anything I feel sorry for PS only users who actually thought the FTC was gonna bring some heat or anyone against the acquisition for that matter. Makes for great entertainment though. Edit: I forgot this judge was also over the gamer’s lawsuit. I wonder how done with this nonsense she is. Like did she want this case or is there some type of lottery where she keeps drawing the short straw?

😂😂😂 Everything you said here is gold. Especially that one about the twitter account warrior 🤣👌 In truth though it's very worrying to see these people (FTC) behaving like a bunch of fanboy imbeciles. I mean they're basically a commission that enforces antitrust and consumer protection laws.

Given Sony and what they have done the stymie this deal the UK Government really needs to look at the relation ship between their own Trade commission and the the connections between the leand and the lawfirm that represents Sony in the UK.

I think Microsoft is putting on a very strong case against the FTC. It was interesting to hear some of the things actually coming out during the testimony. We have heard things like Xbox not hitting targets before but never really to this level and just how much trouble they were in at some levels. Eye opening to be sure. I am not sure acquiring ABK will fix all those issues but it could help especially in the mobile space. I keep hearing people say this is about CoD but I am more convinced than ever this deal is about the mobile space. Microsoft themselves acknowledged the importance of mobile during the testimony to their business goals and success. In fact, I believe if I heard correctly they couldn't be successful without it. Look no matter what your feelings on the case it is important we have strong competition for any market. I personally enjoy Xbox as much as PS and the other way around. I want both companies to be strong. It is diffidently better for the consumer and gaming. Now this deal if passed will not make Xbox magically number one in the console space. Microsoft has already stated theirselves they have lost the console market. What the deal does however is make Xbox a stronger competitor in gaming which is what every market should have to be healthy, competition.

you know this could have all been avoided by just letting the deal go through. Jim Ryan couldn't even bring it upon himself to be at the trial what a laughing stock

The director right now does not know anything about video games nor the informational business and it's just a joke that they're even attempting to do this trial by the end of everything being said and done the FTC is going to have to pick their ass up off the ground and move on

@pierce607 11 ай бұрын

The deal just makes sense. It’s better for the gaming industry (which generates more than the movie industry now… and in which it costs more to produce a triple A game than film of equal standing), it’s better for gamers, and it does more to protect gaming companies than preventing the deal would. Seems easy to green light to me.

I hope they make the Quake remake exclusive too and any Wolfenstien game who cares if it was a previously multiplatform release. It’s time to play Sony's game but with more money at hand.

@patrickstroucken659 11 ай бұрын

Can someone explain to me why this whole case seems so focused around 1 freaking game. 1 shooter for that matter, arguably a mediocre game and besides that there are alternatives. Why in the world is this made so important that it could possibly block a take over that would be great for consumers
