If you read this 'random thoughts' mail you'll see that Phil says that to acquire Nintendo would be great but that the Nintendo and Steam acquisitions won't happen and explains the reasons, the same reasons everybody knows or guessed.
It's like to say: hey, I really want to date Ana de Armas. I told about it to my friends/bosses, and they say it would be cool, but sadly that isn't realistic because she lives in the other side of the world, she is a Hollywood star and I'm a random average non-rich and non-famous guy. I'll go to the gym and I'll try to improve at work to get rich, but I don't see it realistic at all, at least in the short-medium term.

You forget the part where one of your business partners has bought stake into her decision making process, perhaps as a contract manager or something of the sort, and that you are currently talking with them about strategies involving current existing transfers of financial energy to get you in her pants

No. The issue is that wouldn't be great.
It would potentially even be international cultural vandalism.

I don't think our interpretation of the level of intent matters that much. Nintendo now access to an email from the head of Xbox outlining an underhanded (albeit common) strategy that could be used to acquire Nintendo if Nintendo ever found itself on harder times. If they ever saw Xbox as a friendly adversary they're highly likely to be extra suspicious going forward.

Don't know why you left out some of the most damning parts of the mail. I will try to do it like you, but with the full text. Sorry if it get dark:
Bro, I totally agree that Ana de Armas would be the biggest flex ever! I talked with her legal guardian and feel that I am the best fit of all of us wolves in heat. The hic is that she got money and until recently nobody even wanted to pimp her. An old friend of us is pushing hard and will probably go even harder. Without that friend I could not think of it and be the good guy to save her from him/ finish the job. I can't see her being ok to fuck with me and don't think that forcing myself on her would be a good idea so I have to stay the nice guy. Can you se the difference ?

Is it just "random thoughts" that they have a business partner conducting this plan by proxy?

So because the FTC requested the documents, it is their fault that some dickhead posted what they should not have for all to see? This is beyond fanboyism....
MS warriors have that extra something about them...possibly a chromosome.

The bad part about that tweet is that some idiots on twitter will read it and automatically believe it.

This probably isn’t Phil’s fault.
From what I’ve read he’s been busy in South Carolina flying his F-35B around since the weekend....and doing a really good job of it and definately not loosing it or anything.

It isn't "a plan" or a "strategy". Phil said they have a former coworker who bought many stocks who may sell them to MS, but he doesn't have even a 1% of the company shares.
And that other than that he thinks Nintendo wouldn't sell the company and that to try a hostile takeover wouldn't be a good idea.
But that if some day in the future there'd be the opportunity (pretty likely not the case at least in many years because as he says Nintendo is sitting on a ton of cash) it would be cool and that their board of directors and him would support it. That's all.
That business partner owns way less than 1% of her desision making process, soo...You forget the part where one of your business partners has bought stake into her decision making process, perhaps as a contract manager or something of the sort, and that you are currently talking with them about strategies involving current existing transfers of financial energy to get you in her pants

If you read the whole document you see that it's MS fault because they provided a wrong link: one that instead of having the documents redacted ready to share them publicly, had the documents were unredacted and probably included additional confidential stuff that shouldn't be there.
looking at the poster, id give it a 150% to %200 chance of being false

Not only that, they know that one of the firms buying their shares has ties to Microsoft and is actively in contact with Spencer.

I didn’t see it here, but that’s the best reply he can get.
Edit :There’s a new thread with this forget about it.

its not the courts job to go through the unredacted files. sounds like a microsoft legal employee uploaded the wrong files to, say, a google drive link, and the court uploaded the files to the website. That is how things generally go (not neccesarily google) - Senjutsu sage is seemingly insinuating that the court had access to instructions about which files to upload and which not to, which is not generally how things go.

If I were Microsoft, I would just ignore it. Dont feed the flame. It will all fade from existence from any relevent news site within a week or so. Just continue as it didnt happen. Nothing of real consequence came out, though its all pretty damning for acquisition standpoint, but no govt is good enough to challenge MS lawyers, the ABK merger is pretty much a done deal. Especially with the news that xcloud is being defunded for now.

Thank god for the wayback machine because all the pdfs are there from the case are there, where they were captured yesterday. So many documents but fascinating. Here is the link to the page where it archived everything, 127 files, mostly PDFs if anyone is interested. It's about 820 MB.
Update
There are several files that I don't think are archived correctly:
PX1950, PX7014, PX2133, PX2199, PX8001, RX0070, RX0079, RX1162, PX9009, PX4365, PX9005.
I checked them all and they are 127 kb big, none of these files would open, I don't think wayback captured them when it did its original capture of the page. There is still a lot here and someone would have gotten these files, hard to think they won't find their way online like the rest of them.

Some are missing, like px1950, hopefully nothing juicy was contained.

They are not actually missing, if you are using a bulk downloader I think it can have issues with some of the links. I would go to the page itself and download the normal way. That's what I did on a different browser. It might be they were corrupted in the archive process though. I think the most interesting are all the non redacted docs anyway.

When I click the link it says it's not there, I did bulk download the majority, but have clicked a few that are missing with it disabled and no joy.
Plenty to be reading through though lol

Cannot wait until someone finds the smoking gun of how much gamepass is actually losing right now, then literally all lines of shilling will be exposed.
