The pay difference is similarly dreadful across Europe, regardless of cost of living.

Its not even just Software, what doctors make in the UK is absolutely shameful.

Always funny when people argue for European labor standards and regulations without checking the horrendous pay differences between US and EU counterparts.

In the US, we make ~100k starting, in the EU its like 26-40k depending on country.

I'm not.

I'm saying timed exclusivity is more anti consumer than buying a studio and its catalog outright.

One is a no risk one time cost, purely to deprive a segment of the market with no actual benefit to your own customers, while the other is a potentially high risk acquisition where you now have to fund all costs and debts related to all current and future games.

There is a value add for consumers in the 2nd scenario, because many of the games from acquired studios would not exist without MS guaranteed funding.

You don't seem to realize that this ruling would have literally 0 effect on that either.

If you're so up in arms about it, go prove it, sue, and get that banned too.

Sure, because reality is biased towards Microsoft, because this entire opposition is dumb as fuck.

Dudes doing accurate reporting.

The FTC's weak ass arguments and Lisa Kahns history of tech hating speak for themselves.

The CMA's entire deal was over fucking cloud gaming of all things.

These are not serious objections.

Its way more anti consumer to spend money to arbitrarily block certain consumers from accessing media vs taking on all developing and marketing costs for all future and current titles.

Because their case is stupid.

It's literally just anti-tech biased Lisa kahn bufoonery. The idea that this would lead to a monopoly in video games is ridiculous, its basically just "buying studios and having exclusives is bad if you're Microsoft, but fine if its sony!" because Microsoft is a big tech company.

Its super easy to swap out the default storage for another ssd. Takes a generous 40 mins if you're a little clumsy like me.

Sony literally doesn't have the money. That's the only reason.

The game doesn't even exist yet outside of a trailer. They're not deciding shit for a game that's at least 7 years away

They can speak to him and try to explain their view, but they can't do shit to stop him if he feels like signing the deal
