In an effort to convince the FTC to let them acquire Activision-Blizzard, they have stated in their filing that they lost the console war and are going to continue to be "dominated".

Damn, I wish I had lost the console war too, so I could be getting dominated by a switch right now

You did indeed stab me in the back. However, you are only level one, whilst I am level 50. That means I should remain uninjured.

Most wild thing from these proceeding so far is that Sony says they won't give Activision PS6 kits if this goes through, regardless of if they stay multiplatform.

Is that really that wild when MS said they'd make CoD multiplatform, but would keep 100% of revenues? That's not an acceptable condition.

Oh, no, it's a totally fair decision. It's just nuts to think about.

Earlier today it came out that Kotick blackmailed Microsoft into give Activision a higher profit share on Call of Duty sales, or else they would stop releasing CoD on Xbox platforms...and MS folded.

What the hell is going on over there?

Just revealed that Starfield was a PS5 exclusive until Microsoft purchased Bethesda.

So much fun stuff coming out in this case lol.

He said the primary motivation for purchasing Bethesda was to prevent Starfield exclusivity.

What am I missing here?

What he said is that he thought Starfield might become a temporary exclusive, like Ghostwire and Deathloop. There were never any deals signed, and it was under development for both systems until the purchase.
