speaking of resetera, excerpts from the official xbox thread                      

the irony that the thing that blocked xbox was...                             THE CLOUD  

Posted Images

Turns out the main reason CMA blocked the deal was because of "teh cloudz"

 

:lawl: MS was running around handing out 10 year COD contracts with smaller cloud services. What they didn't mention was that in the agreements they signed they would be keeping 100% of the revenue from these deals.

 

 

 

:kaz: What a shitty company. Good thing the CMA saw through their bullshit and fucked them up. Retards like Cuckstz and the other lemshits and media shills were telling us this deal was good for gaming and that MS was making things fair for their competitors by making COD widely available. Truth is they were turning their cloud rivals into their customers indirectly!

You'd really have to be a retard to trust in the "good guy ms" image :kaz: This is still one of the most greedy and evil corporations on Earth.

 

Sure some of the other big tech companies can be bad, but at least some of them actually have good products :hest: Unlike Microsoft.

Cuckstz is one of the biggest retards to ever exist so trusting MS is a natural fit for him :lawl:

This is why you do not trust ANYTHING that Microsoft says publicly in their press conferences and on social media.

 

This is how blatant their lying was to us during this process:

 

 

 

Basically, Microsoft was willing to have Call of Duty on playstation, except the user would have to sign into a Microsoft Xbox profile (on their playstation) and then any in-game purchases made completely circumvent the Playstation store, and go through Xbox's credit card payment processing system.

 

Basically, its not different than Microsoft offering GamePass to enter Nintendo's and Playstation's ecosystems.

 

I knew Xbox weren't telling the whole truth when they were telling the public about all of these 10 year "contracts" that they made with different companies.

This bullshit of signing into Xbox on every game really kills their user experience. It sucks to start Gears 5 or Grounded on a Steam Deck. Or if you use a gamepad to play Microsoft/Gamepass games on PC you always gotta fuss with the keyboard when it starts. Another reason Steam is PC gaming.

I wonder if she can find it on the map.

Is there difficulty determining this location all the sudden? It's 2023. Imagine whoever the fuck this woman is giving kudos to a nation with more influence than your own over a now seemingly failed deal. :drake:

It's no wonder retards like Ghostz can't accept games like RE4 being best on playstation when the head retard at Microsoft can't accept reality either :drake:

This may be some of the biggest ownage I’ve ever seen. MS has failed for years, actually its decades now, to catch up with PlayStation’s first party capability. After wearing that out they try and buy success instead through the largest publisher around but instead the CMA see’s through the deal and The buklshit attached to it and they get Teddy Tuna’d instead.

I once said that Ghost is such a loser that the universe literally bends to ensure that he always remains wrong.

 

This isn't remotely surprising to me at all.

 

We will see how much Microsoft truly............TRULY cares about video gaming and gamers here soon.

 

My guess? They don't care.

 

If they can't corner an industry by buying everything out..........then they don't care to put in the hard work to succeed and be on top.

 

We've now reached the same point that Windows Mobile was at around 2012.

It's officially over, they can appeal but CMA controls the appeal process and the chance of CMA doing a reversal based on the appeal is probably less than 0.00000000000000001% :sabu:

Jim Ryan being appointed as head of Sony...................a British guy..............that just so happened to have the UK regulatory agency block this entire thing.

 

Sony made the absolute most strategically perfect decision in putting him in charge.

the thing is that the CMA might have a really compelling point here.

 

Microsoft was doing all of these deals to bring COD everywhere...............for TRADITIONAL gaming hardware platforms.

 

What the CMA is saying is that Microsoft may be planning to make COD, Blizzard games, and other Activision-King properties entirely exclusive on its CLOUD platform in the future.

 

I've been wondering out loud why Microsoft hasn't released the xCloud app everywhere, on every SmartTV, on every Roku and Chromecast. Why haven't they released a $49 dongle, or a $79 dongle + controller bundle that can play xCloud?

 

They've even hinted that such a product exists. Why hasn't it come out yet?

 

And the answer may be: because they were waiting for this deal to be approved.

 

All of a sudden, GamePass doesn't need to try and get on Switch or on Playstation. They completely bypass those consoles and simply get onto everybody's television by having a Roku app or by selling a cheap dongle to play Xcloud. And CoD is exclusive to just this particular cloud platform
