So, I need to complain to someone and the wife works too hard to subject her to this so let's go.
Sony is being a big dumb baby about the Activision acquisition. They're misrepresenting their position, their goals, their methods, and their history. What they're doing in Europe appears a wee bit corrupt. It's shitty.
But you know what? Using $70 bil to corner large portions of the market is shitty, too. Is it monopolistic? No. Nah. But it's not about competition or any other altruistic bullshit. It's about making COD exclusive.
Let me pause there. This ten-year deal plan is also bullshit. They were absolutely going to give Playstation pared down versions until regulators started sniffing. They're only giving Nintendo and Valve agreements to make Sony look bad. They don't want to compete, they want to buy dominance.
Why? Because as incredible as Game Pass is (and I LOVE it, truly), Microsoft hasn't been able to find that first party secret sauce.
Microsoft is being a big dirty baby.
And Sony is a being a big shitty baby.
And I'm done thinking about these big, dumb, shitty, dirty babies.
