I don’t recall saying it was an official Christmas sale, I said their average 12% discount on a quarter of their products sounds like a Christmas sale, not an excess inventory sale.

Isn’t that more likely a result of a store ordering too many things and not getting the sales because the cost of groceries and essentials have gone way up?

Out of the 191 items in their MTG section of their Amazon store, only 51 of those items are discounted, ranging from a 1% discount up to a high of 37% with an average discount of less than 12%.

I wish I could uninstall battlenet again.

It’s one of those things where a brand new video is uploaded and the title says it’s a viral video, even though no one has ever seen it yet. If you write enough articles about random nobodies then eventually they become famous.

“ you can pick up a refurbished M1 MacBook Air for 15% off, leaving it $849 instead of $999"

Good on Olive Garden for firing her.

Someone told me about this while I was playing MWO last night.  Haven’t played the series since the PS2 era, but I’m looking forward to this one.

*yawn*

A year ago the hate was about not wanting an accent.

BANDWAGON POWERS ACTIVATE!

There was already a Mario movie a long time ago, it was so bad most people today have never seen it.  The bar is so low that Pratt couldn’t possibly go lower, even if he wanted to do so.

Nonsense.  You should hate it because so many others do.

So Activision couldn’t make a Switch port? That’s entirely beyond their capabilities? Only MS can pull that off? Bullshit. Activision made a choice not to do it, intentionally, not because MS knows something that Activision doesn’t.

Yes, that’s exactly what you did. “So in the world of your logic” and then proceeded to make an asinine, ridiculous analogy that made absolutely no sense.  It’s nice that you can see the error in your ways.  Hopefully going forward you’ll avoid do that.

That’s one of the most convoluted, uneducated things I’ve ever read on the internet.  Good job. Maybe you should read up on antitrust laws so you have even a slight clue what you’re talking about, before, you know, talking about them.

The chip shortage has already made them competitive, Sony has sold roughtly 25 million PS5's while MS has sold 18 million XS X/S. Almost as close as the PS3 v 360, which sold 87m and 84m respectively, and definitely nowhere near the massive gap in the days of PS2 v Xbox, 155m v 24m.

Yes, what matters is Microsoft being able to compete financially with Sony in one specific market. That’s what antitrust laws are about, right? Has nothing to do with less competition between game developers making competing products. Ignore that Microsoft as a whole has a revenue of $168 billion, while Sony’s as a…

When you’ve received as many blows to the head as they have, consistency something something something.

My favorite part from the WaPo article is when MS claims that buying Activision will increase competition.  Definitely one of the funniest lies ever told.
