As much as I’m generally against large scale mergers like this and on principle, they shouldn’t happen. I am glad this one is nearing it’s end. The FTC’s argument was just bad and in terms of competition, they hinged the whole thing on CoD. It’s such a bad argument.

Morbin time or Miller time?  which is the better catch phrase?

No, simply because humiliation would imply Zaslav is able to feel shame.  It is more pathetic though.

Meanwhile Elemental has slowly dragged itself past the flash. by the end of the weekend it should have outpaced it internationally.

Is this more humiliating than Sony putting Morbius back in theaters based on the popularity of a meme?

Well he was infamous for stealing people’s teeth, so.

I’ve always liked Larry. Seems like a good dude. Good luck in your future endeavors!

so everybody who wanted to play Call of Duty on PC, played it. This proves that we should be allowed to yank Call of Duty from competing consoles, somehow.

I tried Mythforce during the most recent Next Fest and found it painfully boring. I really like the look of it, but it plays like molasses, in both level pacing and controls. It’s structured almost identically to Gunfire Reborn, another similar 4-player co-op roguelike, but with melee/magic weapons instead of…

Can’t properly express how glad I am this isn’t another slideshow. Friggin’ herbs are gonna ruin this site even more than they already have.

The judge did their job. It was the FTC’s misunderstanding, if anything, that led to this outcome. Their case was weak. It largely focused on one IP and its effect on one competitor. It’s not a judge’s job to protect the guy in number one from becoming the guy in number two. 

Yeah, so even as an Xbox lifer I’m ambivalent about this and wish Microsoft would’ve been more aggressive (and competent) at building up its own properties instead of acquiring established ones. It’s been a pretty rough decade for us Greens since the golden Xbox 360 age of solid exclusives. I genuinely feel bad in…

They can simply withhold selling their Activision/Blizzard games in the UK actually. Their block dont meant shit, especially since EU has accepted it.  And a region free console means what?  Thats right, they can import, they can change their location on their xbox and download it digitally, etc.  Its a done deal. 😌

Great news, I have both consoles but the Game Pass value is going to increase dramatically when Sony’s contracts preventing games from coming to Game Pass expire. And I’ll still be able to play these games with my PS5 friends. I don’t really see why consumers are against this deal, unless they have an aversion to…

Excellent! This is awesome news. Looking forward to see what MS does with Blizzard as they need a kick in their bum and some new blood.

If it’s long enough, it can act as a pointer from the top down 

Shut the fuck up, you boring ass misinformed failure of a person. Get a life.

This sounds even shakier than all that bullshit about saccharine.

If you live in California everything is a potential carcinogen anyway
