• While IS NOT IMPOSSIBLE that Microsoft and Sega can renew talks and probably in a future, a buy out to have #Sega joining #Xbox Game Studio could be in the making...

    But having rumors spreading like it is going to happen tomorrow is disingenuous and childish, Microsoft needs to proof their shareholder that Activision Blizzard was actually NOT a compulsive purchase and the heftiest in Microsoft's history.

    Not all shareholders are actually HAPPY of a $69 billion purchase for an historically NON-LEADER Microsoft business (not even Windows had this much love in short-term), so let's calm down gamers.

  • Final recap of Day 2 of FTC Preliminary Injunction against Microsoft buying ABK:

    -As with Jim Ryan, Sony CEO Kenichiro Yoshida originally didn't have any issue as Phil Spencer called himself the day it was announce the transaction
    -Spencer reiterates that Xbox exclusive games are not the 100% od the day-to-day at Microsoft Gaming nowadays
    -Spencer: “Sony has a significant catalog of exclusives games. It’s drastically larger, dramatically larger than what we have on Xbox today. Both Sony and Nintendo’s first-party is stronger than Xbox.”
    -FTC tried to reinforce Spencer saying under oath that Call Of Duty will be still releasing for Playstation
    -At the same time, Spencer did acknowledged that beyond the 10 year mark thing cannot be assured as it will depend the state of trhe gaming market itself
    -FTC tried to make it sound weird that Microsoft is paying almost $70 billion for a gaming conglomerate just to get ahold of mobile gaming studios as main target, but Spencer backfired that mobile gaming is one of the footprints that Xbox is aiming at
    -FTC for the third time brought Nintendo narrative
    -A common-sense info that the FTC should know, but their lawyer asked if Microsoft needs to pay the agreed fee to Activision Blizzard shareholders right away. Spencer replied: “No, when you acquire something it’s not a payment. It’s really a transfer of cash into an asset called Activision that you believe it retains the value that you have acquired. It’s incorrect financially.”
    -FTC called Dov Zimring, Google’s former Stadia product lead as witness
    -FTC asked Zimring to describe Stadia
    -Zimring: “To our knowledge we had the best technology in the market. We had performance capabilities that didn’t exist in the [cloud] market like 4K.”

    “We had prototyped on Windows early on... the mission we had established at the very beginning was to enable revolutionary experiences... we saw Windows as limiting to innovate in that regard because we didn’t have control over the operating system.”

    -Zimring acknowledged that Stadia SDK was Linuix-based due operating cost saving
    -The closure of Stadia Games & Entertainment with the sudden stop of investment for AAA games was due wrong projected numbers
    -Originally, Google was willing to spend five years building AAA games for Stadia
    -FTC returned to Spencer
    -FTC wanted to a third time force Spencer to peldge on COD availability on Playstation but WAS CUT BY THE JUDGE WHO APPEARED TO BE ANNOYED ON THE FTC LAWYER LINES OF QUESTIONING THAT WERE STRAIGHT DISSINGENOUS.

    Judge: "I don’t need that, I’m going to cut off your questioning."
    -Judge wrapped things for today and will NOT ACCEPT this process to go beyond next Thursday, pretty much in line of Microsoft desired timeframe (5 days)

  • So... about Ubisoft probably being target for a potential hostile takeover again...

    Why hostile takeover had raised from being a trend to a common and so unwatched thing?

    Is like I can't have a fucking company and I want to grow as I see fit, not as a bunch of money poopers thinks it's should be...

    I believe is time to think twice to think twice going public for a company these days and I had been accused on having a bad way of thinking for that.

    Now with that being said, Yves Guillemot without any of his children interested on Ubisoft, it will not be an easy fight as it was with Vivendi at 2018 as unfortunately money will talk bigger than the art & predictably, shareholders will stab him in the back "for a better future".
