No it's the biggest one in history but the claims sony are making are unfounded. Not to mention sony was offered a 10 year deal to keep what they were complaining about (call of duty) on Playstation but sony said no. They wanted a contract that was indefinite and none of the games could be on gamepass. --- Make sure not to bleed over the discs.- Xiciassa NOT IN MY CANTINA! - Bartender <cite>Nirvanas_Nox posted [p:970047178] in With the r...

Can MS override an FTC attempted block? not that familiar with this stuff They are not blocking it. They filed a lawsuit as part of a prerequisite to get a consent decree. They never had any intention of blocking it and they know they will lose if they try so they are just trying to get a consent decree and hope that Microsoft takes the bait rather than drag it out in court. --- It says right here in Matthew 16:4 "Jesus doth not need a giant Mecha." https://i.imgur.com/dQgC4kv.jpg <cite>Tyranthraxus posted [p:970047242] in With the r...
