There's different numbers all over the place, they are technically below Apple in terms of gaming revenue. Some analysts have them second, fourth, who knows lol guess it depends what they count as revenue.
Do we know definitively that google joined Sony or is it just speculation? It’s one thing that they both were against it when looking at what was said, by each company, in Brazil. But another to have them team up by what people are saying. Like (fan fic time) did Sundar and Jim hop on said plane and then stand before the uk regulatory people holding hands with sad faces and say “this hurts us”? Even though inside they were grinning about giving each other pats on the head like good doggos?
Any links so I can read up on it?
Found another showing MS as #2.

While it does seem unlikely that anything will ultimately stop the nearly $70 billion acquisition, the longer this goes, the more ridiculous these arguments become. I’ve already addressed PlayStation’s Jim Ryan’s rather hypocritical comments about game exclusivity, but there’s no less nonsense on Microsoft’s side either.
They can’t just say “this is a big company with big games that make a lot of money,” they have to pitch this purchase as some sort of benevolent act of goodwill and player choice. They actually have an entire page of just quotes up that are supposed to help convince regulators that this is a good move and not problematic. They are…frankly absurd. I want to go through all of them here, right now:
Again, Microsoft has only committed to making Call of Duty available on PlayStation for three years past the current deal, so there’s literally no guarantee that it stays on the platform indefinitely, as it would if it remained a third party publisher. And the “we want people to have more access to games, not less,” quote does not seem to apply to say, Starfield, a huge new IP that is spawning out of Microsoft’s also-massive Bethesda purchase that has no plans to come to PlayStation, even though it clearly would have if Bethesda had remained independent. And that is also likely to be true for many, many other games that have come out of Microsoft’s publisher buying spree.
"As we’ve said before, we are committed to making the same version of Call of Duty available on PlayStation on the same day the game launches elsewhere." – Microsoft Gaming CEO Phil Spencer, Sept. 1, 2022
Right, but what Microsoft is not saying here is that owning Activision will allow them to put Call of Duty on Game Pass on day one, offering to its own players for “free” as part of that subscription, while PlayStation players will no doubt be charged the full $70 list price, part of which will be going directly in Microsoft’s pocket as the new publisher. If that’s not a massive competitive advantage, I’m not sure what is.
Microsoft Is Making A Poor Case For Its Activision Blizzard Acquisition
Yesterday, Microsoft put online a new website addressing its planned acquisition of Activision Blizzard as a way to try to convince regulators to approve the deal.

Good ol Forbes
But wouldn’t it be illegal for them to say any further details of what they could do with any act/bli IP, it’d be considered illegal, no?Guess Forbes sees through MS as well.

Again why is their sole focus COD?
Why make an article saying it’s most likely to happen but again only focus on cod.
I feel that some of the biggest impacts that may come from this is the mobile games and wow showing up on xCloud, they have some policy va out only using first party software to stream it.
Do it Minecraft way. Everyone wins. Easy.
How did they address this when they started to acquire Mojang?
No clue, too lazy to search atm, actually feeling a bit under the weather lol
But I think there’s something about companies don’t have to address anything to the public, or something, I dono, maybe aceattorney might know something. Or is he keeping quiet cos he’s part of ms acquisition team….your secret dies with me aceattorney
They started with 3 year contracts yes. Show us where MS signed a lifetime contract for Minecraft on PS.
Why not keep it indefinite like Minecraft? They didn't offer 3 years for Minecraft.
There are no indefinite contracts. Like any contract, Minecraft has timed contracts.
