Re: Sony Claps Back at UK Regulator's 'Irrational' Reversal on Microsoft Activision Deal

It's embarrassing on both sides, to be honest. MS paying their way to victory and Sony crying about a deal to consumer authorities when it benefits consumers the most. The whole argument is a giant false flag.

To wrap it up: pretty much everyone (Sony, Nintendo, Steam, Nvidia, Google and a bunch of other platforms we don't even know about) are offered a 10 year deal, with a guarantee there won't be any quality differences, the same 70/30 cut and a promise it will be on their platform for the duration of that time. 10 years is a long time, more than enough to build a studio and an IP to compete. The harsh reality is that the deal is going through.

Consumers benefit the most from this with a price lock and a bigger choice on where to play the game. Sony's argument isn't about the consumers anymore, it's about potential financial loss which a consumer authority doesn't and shouldn't care about.

To anyone who objects with this, just tell me how does this deal effect you? It genuinely doesn't change anything.
