I only cared about the activision being bought thing because acctivision doesn't remember that they have an enormous catalogue of games they could draw from to make new iterations from or do remakes or whatever but they have like 12-15 studios working on COD instead
Good decision by the CMA. Microsoft should just drop the deal and invest in their studios instead.
So that maybe we don't have 2012-class assets in a AAA racing game.

Even if MS bought Activision Blizzard, I doubt that Blizzard's titles would come to Steam. They would probably allow AB to mostly make their own decisions

LMAO, I'm literally in the last 20-25 minutes of the game, I closed cause' I had something to do and now I get an update hahahaha
We will see how it behaves, so far I have done the shader compiler and it worked way faster and better, so, fingers crossed.
They actually fixed Medium textures in TLoU
They will probably just merge with another big publisher if this falls through. Similar to what WWE/UFC just did.
Microsoft is gonna go ham with that 69 billion if they can't get this deal. I expect them to gobble up so many smaller devs and gamepass deals. They will overpay for a dozen studios lol. There has probably been so many off the record deals made this past year but MS could never go through with them since they were awaiting the decision for this big one.
They looked like ass and consumed 10 gb of vram xd
That update is huge, 25gb damn. Hopefully, it fixes performance.
In short some of the assets looked worse than PS3 version of them. Those barrels and that can were basically smudged colors before, that wall barely had any details and that sofa basically had no textures just that brownish color.
I feel like an idiot. I hate using R3 to run but I've been doing it all this time in TW3 because the game doesn't let you customize the controls on the gamepad.
A few days ago I was checking the options to see if I was missing something and there's a fucking option buried in there to toggle run on R3 off or on. When you turn it off you run with A though the game doesn't tell you this when you change it. Can't believe I only saw this now.
Also, the music in this game is just incredible, especially in Skellige.
The Witcher armor sets are so badass and look better and better as you upgrade them.
Despite the jank, replaying it has confirmed it as one of my favorite games of all time.

Seems kinda weird to block the deal on that basis of cloud concerns, but whatever. I doubt the CMA knows something the rest of the industry doesn't regarding the cloud environment, currently minuscule and like a decade away from being viable.
I guess this just further solidifies Sony's position on consoles, because god knows Microsoft can't get a win lately lol.
Let's all praise Gaben for Steam I guess.

man, aren’t there enough creepy fetish games on Steam already
Was the first one any good? it looked ( and the demo played) jank as hell.
Sounds like the regulators are out of touch. They fear that MS will take COD and turn it into some cloud juggernaut killing off competition. Any talk of cloud gaming always comes with stupid discussions and fear mongering so its not surprising.
And yea Xbox is backed into a corner now. Looking at their earnings it looks like Gamepass is the only thing that makes them money in the console space. They are bleeding everywhere else and have supply issues for whatever reason. That is why I think they go on spending spree if this deal falls apart. I could see them snag up devs like Remedy and Larian. Look for them to throw $$$ at Kojima too. Just about any available indie and private developer that released a successful game in recent years will be offered money because for them its all about Gamepass now. If they don't push for more content and more subscribers they will get smoked by Sony/Nintendo over the next decade.
Yeah, I just hope they iron the World Your performance for launch. I was getting some small spikes and one fight slowed to a crawl for no reason.
So, Warframe has a Soulslike Roguelike mode now, and its pretty cool, you have a flying horse!
Lmao for fuck's sake! What will it take for Valve to let us set a sorting order on our library?! 
Words can’t describe how much this pisses me off.Lmao for fuck's sake! What will it take for Valve to let us set a sorting order on our library?!

Leak: the Asus ROG Ally will cost $699.99 with an AMD Z1 Extreme
Which suggests the Z1 version will cost less.
Potentially priced way less than I was thinking
Microsoft and Remedy left the room in bad terms after Quantum Break.
I can easily see them joining Playstation Studios if a Bungie-like deal is offered.
Microsoft had their chance with Remedy. They blew it.
The current climate validated Microsoft's decision to look beyond the plastic box model. In the strict console space they have zero chance of being competitive even with "true" exclusives.
Remedy had their chance with Remedy and they blew it with every exclusive deal with yet another partner for yet another groundbreaking game that fell short because their fans were splintered on different platforms.
Not worth buying big games at launch these days.
That’s it, going forward, no triple a games till either a year of heavy patching or a deep discount. If the publishers can’t be bothered to put out a working game on launch day, regardless of how soon patches are released, I can’t be bothered giving them money.
it’s not as if there aren’t plenty of indie games out there and my own backlog to clear either.

Wasn't surprise when looking the first game.
The saddest thing about a bad port of an AAA game releasing is that they are charging 70$ for it.
Price of games increase and you would think this would lead to better quality assurance. But yea right lul. Its pathetic to see this shit.
Valve needs to change refund system for 70$ games. Make it like 4hrs and 28days. Put pressure on publishers to do better and justify price increases.

Travel stutter shitshow again. Didn't they learn anything from the first one...
Well, got the first one free from Amazon Prime. perhaps this second one will be there too.

Games being worse than they've been in forever but also charging 70
So who's fault is this?
A) Microsoft (DX12)
B) Epic (Unreal Engine)
C) The developers (lazy devs)
D) All of the above

I would at least change lazy devs to tight fisted publishers. While not wholly blameless I tend to view it more publishers dictating release dates.
now that these are known issues though, you would hope devs are now trying to mitigate these issues. Hopefully.
