I totally sympathize with Rand's irritation with the Sony Ponys running their mouths about Xbox. People refer to "console wars" like its' two sides fighting. It's really the majority, the Sony people, dogging the Xbox fans, the minority, relentlessly, constantly. That kind of thing goes on long enough and you start to react. You can't help it. Personally, I don't care about Playstation and their garbage fans and games. They're the past. Like the entire AAA industry, they've been making the same tired crap for at least the past 15 years. They're holding back the medium imho. Microsoft should do what it's been doing, looking to the future and leaving them behind.
Microsoft, unlike Sony and arguably most publishers, is one of the major publishers out there willing to take risks and invest money into creative games that aren't likely to be bonafide financial hits. Stuff like Hi-Fi Rush, Psychonauts 2, Pentiment, Grounded, and South of Midnight are the kind of stuff you'd see from the old Sony from the PS1-PS3 (and even PS4, to a lesser extent) generations, but not the kind of stuff modern Sony would ever greenlight. Microsoft is pushing the industry forward while Sony is stagnating under Jim Ryan's leadership and chasing trends with live service games.
@@jimmythegamer2231 I totally agree. And has anyone noticed that MS has officially become the home of AAA choice and consequence RPGs at a time when nearly every other publishers has stopped making them? And Xbox is going to get 4 of them in the next 3 years.
No it's not about them attacking xbox its about them attacking you personally for being a fan of xbox. What started me getting into this whole UA-cam beef with ponies? I first subbed to crapgammer not knowing anything about this gaming community looking for some takes on gears of War 4..... I commented on that gears was better than halo and took halos place as xbox's flagship.... I got a reply saying "you like gears of war?? You must be a X fa& only they go so hard for a dead platform.... that was literally the weirdest shit to just be disrespected by a soy dork like that over an opinion.... and I seen that that type of attacking was the mode for these Playstation guys. They are just simple minded obnoxious little dickheads that take this shit to seriously and they feel comfortable because they're on the net. Since then I take pleasure in pissin them off because I know it really hurts them. So let's just troll them the way they do us and make sure you enjoy it as well
Of course it is. They hate xbox with a passion to the point where they come onto xbox social media channels to talk endless trash. Mostly when xbox people are running their mouths its because we are just clapping back at the little s*** talkers who began it. They are completely obsessed and unhinged when it comes to xbox. Most toxic fanbase by a longshot. I know of several PC gaming channels who are constantly calling them out on their salt.
Honestly what has playstation brought to the table for the past decade?? 3rd person action adventure game 3rd person action adventure game 3rd person action adventure game 3rd person action adventure game They bring nothing else to the table and I'm sick of everyone pretending they're doing so good. Everyone in the media is afraid to criticize them. They have no diversity in their gaming lineup whatsoever. Just the same tired, safe repetitive crap.
Eidos and Crystal Dynamics would be a good grab for XBox. Deus Ex, Tomb Raider, and Hit Man would be big games for Microsoft to have. Strong single player games that are not RPGs.
Saints row is also under crystal dynamics and eidos at the moment it would be crazy since all saints row games are playable on the xbox lol😂😅 but I can see xbox going after ubisoft if that happened. Square Enix has deals with Sony. Eidos and crystal dynamics are a part of a bigger company. Unless fromm software sells some of their companies and / or i.p.s to Microsoft, that would also be nice.
A whole bunch of Xbox's newest fans are PC gamers and Gamepass for PC subscribers. Phil picked up the ball on PC that his predecessors miserably drop for the last decade and a half. This is where the 'sudden spike' in Xbox fandom is coming from. Why I've been saying that Phil is a very smart dude and exactly who Xbox needed. He's a gamer with vision, not just some bean counting business man chasing trends.
The Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) has announced an extension of the deadline for its final decision on the proposed Microsoft acquisition of Activision Blizzard. Original, the UK regular was planning to deliver its ruling on the deal by July 18, but has now extended the date to August 29.

Valid & fair points Darth Rand. (You too, Jez). If you wonder how the toxic accusations get imagined & created (like the XBox buying influencers garbage), follow political discussions. Same playbook.
Don’t forget to mention that there’s a chance for good revenue by being overtly toxic. Some don’t want the money but instead enjoy having clout + followers. Seems to me there’s a murky line where some of this is pushed too far. Don’t think there’s any stopping this train
1:09:45 again no, Phil did not anywhere state that they want to keep ABK games "mostly" multiplatform, Phil did offer Jim Ryan in those emails to keep current existing franchises on Playstation only through 2027 but Jim did not take that deal Thank God that Jez has a terrible track record when it comes to exclusivity,
I hope Microsoft keeps the games on PlayStation, but goes ahead and renegotiates themselves a better cut just like Activision demanded of them. Fair is fair.
They won't, also Jez is mis-reporting (as usual) Phil only said under oath that they'd keep COD multiplat, when the FTC lawyer asked about other ABK games Phil flat out said no and the judge cut the FTC lawyer off
I don't understand the banjo slander smh how can it takes two and pyschonuats 2 be goty contender just 2 years ago and there not be a audience for banjo. Doesn't make sense to me. With gamepass it'd be even more of a success
Yeah what Rand said really doesn't make sense tbh. Microsoft was willing to greenlight niche games like Pentiment, so what's stopping them from greenlighting something like Banjo? And no, a potential Banjo game doesn't need to be on Switch to be successful. Saying that is like saying Ratchet & Clank couldn't be successful on PlayStation because the PlayStation audience isn't that interested in platformers in the same way that the Nintendo fanbase is.

If it was between Colin and Dreamcastguy to join you I'd honestly vote for Dreamcastguy. Colin is just so bitter about Xbox and I can tell you what his input will be: "yada yada xbox hasn't achieved anything in 20 years yada yada how can you be fan of a corporation" while at the same time praising Sony for growing everything organically all the time.
I prefer Game Pass/Xbox, but I bought a PS5 in May 2021 because of the PS+ PS5 Collection, since I skipped PS4 and all those games. When I had my fill, I didn't renew PS+, which was converting to the three tier PS+ as my year sub expired. However, in December they offered PS+ Extra (the best value, imo) for $70 for one year and I bit. It was a good value. I think a similar thing could happen in reverse - PS5 owners may finally take the plunge with Game Pass with ABK (and Riot if playing on PC).
yet Cold War is on playstation plus essential and vanguard is next. previous call of duty titles available on playstation plus are still playable from the library for existing subscribers.
@@barcster2003 Keep deluding yourself. ABK is literally the biggest third-party publisher out there, and Microsoft will fix them by finally giving those studios creative freedom to make better games, just like they did with Obsidian.
@@S7eventhHeaven Ok, and? Game Pass will have ALL of the CoD games, both old and new, and they will be on there forever, unlike with PS Plus. Also, PS Plus will never get a day-one CoD game.

Not me but there are folks that will cover you.....Boom has your back! As a dude who likes spicey stuff, ghost pepper is not fun....I would say it cant be good for your stomach and health! Dont do it Jez!
@@maxmazzotti6651 Nah, some ABK games - especially new IPs and revivals of dead IPs - will probably be Xbox exclusive. And if WoW does come to console, it will probably be an Xbox exclusive as well. Though they wouldn't be taking away WoW from PlayStation because it has been a PC exclusive franchise for decades.
That will never happen. In order to play WoW properly you need to download addons. That means you need access to the game files. You can't do that on a console. WoW is not the same game as FF14 or ESO.
I love it when Rand gets pissed off he talks good trash. Dude what’s so funny is Microsoft pays all of us off to talk trash to PlayStation fanboys. Yet Microsoft needs PlayStation if the buy Activision because of COD. Microsoft is rich when it comes to paying off Xbox users to say positive thing and trash PlayStation. But when it comes to spending 70 billion on a publisher Microsoft can’t afford it and needs PlayStation to sell COD. Lol. Microsoft should buy Take 2 right after the Activision deal is done. To show PlayStation Ponies how much bank the Microsoft has got. Maybe Phil Spencer should hey Jim Ryan how much do you want for all of Sony including PlayStation. Lol. I’d love to see Jim Aryana having to call Phil Boss. Lol
Breaking: According to a report on Bloomberg, the U.S. Federal Trade Commission is now “leaning towards” appealing the court’s decision to deny it a preliminary injunction to block Microsoft’s acquisition of Activision Blizzard. The report claims that an appeal could be filed “as early as Wednesday,” citing a source said to be familiar with the deliberations.
They can do whatever they want, without the TRO and without the PI, MSFT can close the deal, and every single process related with the FTC can be done once the merger is done.
Wow it's a congratulations on the judge's decision but lets not run before we can walk shal we , we have people saying PlayStation ia over🤷 sony fans take the L🤫 lets see how it plays out in the coming years with ABK under Microsoft before we say Moronic statements , lets enjoy this time contemplating what's on ABK and could possibly come from ABK now instead of rhe demise of PlayStation 🤷.
You're one to talk considering all you say is moronic statements like how GP is trash, indie games are trash, ABK deal is dead, pointing out the fact that Phil never said that making good games doesn't matter means you're an Xbox fanboy, etc. Your middle name is "moronic." There aren't that many people saying PS is dead because of the ABK merger except for Sony themselves. Anyways I look forward to seeing you cope over the coming weeks.
@@jimmythegamer2231 my criticism of Microsoft and Xbox have been about how because of this merger they have left gamepass imo bare so this is me checking in now that they have their focus back. Shovelpass is no more gamepass is about to get an influx of great games I'm gonna rejoice and enjoy the next couple of weeks and beyond so get over yourself jimmy

15:18 No once again Jez is spreading misinformation....Phil said he would keep COD multiplatform under Oath....when he was asked about other ABK games he flat out said no, the FTC lawyer even pressed Phil about Diablo and the judge cut the lawyer off. This just proves that Jez did not listen to the hearing and likely got his info from clowns like Destin Legarie
BREAKING: the FTC has filed an appeal against Judge Corley's decision to deny its preliminary injunction request over Microsoft's proposed Activision Blizzard acquisition.
I disagree with Ran on banjo but the game cant be what it was in the 90's. How well did ratchet and clank do? The problem is buget, if they did a 100 mil banjo with Pixar level gfx and awesome story telling then that game would do well. As we all know MS struggles with those type of games.
The cope is real with you, pony. Bold of you to assume Acti-Blizz isn't already mismanaged. MS will fix ABK's terrible workplace and revive a bunch of dead IPs, resulting in the production of many great Xbox exclusive games. Starfield will be a success, just like Hi-Fi Rush, Forza Horizon 5, Psychonauts 2, Grounded, Pentiment, MS Flight Simulator, etc. Keep crying.
@@gamerbychoice4024 PlayStation fanboys will be funding Xbox exclusive games from here on out. The best selling PS5 game year-over-year will be a first-party Xbox game lol (in regards to CoD). Xbox's own game will be outselling most PS exclusives on PlayStation.
No matter who they buy I want to see the fallout. They either come off as hypocrites to everyone but the most hardcore PS fans or the they straight up raise regulatory eyebrows after their adamant and vocal complaints regarding microsoft buying a publisher and potentially doing what they’ve always done. With the industry going as it is and all the Sony rumors of buying Ubisoft or Square or etc, they’ve really shot them selves in the foot shining this giant light over them
@@vullord666 Yep, Sony likely won't even be able to acquire Japanese publishers like Square Enix either, because they shot themselves in the foot by claiming that Nintendo is not in direct competition with Xbox or Playstation. Now, if Sony ever attempts to acquire multiple Japanese studios, it would make them appear as if they're attempting to cement their "monopoly" in Japan against Xbox.

I prefer Game Pass/Xbox, but I bought a PS5 in May 2021 because of the PS+ PS5 Collection, since I skipped PS4 and all those games. When I had my fill, I didn't renew PS+, which was converting to the three tier PS+ as my year sub expired. However, in December they offered PS+ Extra (the best value, imo) for $70 for one year and I bit. It was a good value. I think a similar thing could happen in reverse - PS5 owners may finally take the plunge with Game Pass with ABK (and Riot if playing on PC).
This is the way !
Pros of subscription imo, lol.
I don't feel like any of us win by having Jez make himself sick eating hot sauce :/
Today was the day PS and the Ponies took the beating of their lives
Lol no. Activision blizzard isn't as big a win as Xbox guys think.
yet Cold War is on playstation plus essential and vanguard is next. previous call of duty titles available on playstation plus are still playable from the library for existing subscribers.
@@barcster2003 Keep deluding yourself. ABK is literally the biggest third-party publisher out there, and Microsoft will fix them by finally giving those studios creative freedom to make better games, just like they did with Obsidian.
@@S7eventhHeaven Ok, and? Game Pass will have ALL of the CoD games, both old and new, and they will be on there forever, unlike with PS Plus. Also, PS Plus will never get a day-one CoD game.
@jimmythegamer2231 Microsoft management is terrible look how halo is .. there other studios struggle
Omg Rand came for those cheeks…damn homie!! Tell it how it is! Respect.
They could have if you are a gpu member you get the battle pass for free or something like that a bonus for war zone.
Jez....
Dont do the ghost pepper chip! In fact dont do anything ghost peppery....just looking out for you JEZ! There are folks out there that will cover your marker. Not me but there are folks that will cover you.....Boom has your back!
As a dude who likes spicey stuff, ghost pepper is not fun....I would say it cant be good for your stomach and health! Dont do it Jez!
RESPECT!!!
I think Microsoft already had this in place if it goes through in place like jez mention. Expect news following week
Sells will be done by then….the game still will be enjoying the spotlight….🤔
The Carolina Reaper is the hottest pepper in world lol
Sony fan boys nnever disappoint when we need salt lol.
I disagree!! I believe warcraft 1&2 will come to gamepass.I also believe wow will come in its own time too.
You tell ‘em Rand lol
It’s not Biden 2.0, that was General Petraeus.
will we get world of Warcraft on xbox now
It and the other ABK games shall not become Xbox Exclusive, only the first party games like Halo shall remain king
@@maxmazzotti6651 Nah, some ABK games - especially new IPs and revivals of dead IPs - will probably be Xbox exclusive. And if WoW does come to console, it will probably be an Xbox exclusive as well. Though they wouldn't be taking away WoW from PlayStation because it has been a PC exclusive franchise for decades.
That will never happen. In order to play WoW properly you need to download addons. That means you need access to the game files. You can't do that on a console. WoW is not the same game as FF14 or ESO.
Why have a 3 hour + long podcast and have no time stamps for topics? This is about as on par as MBG at times.
Anaconda Montana.....beautiful small mountain town. Just saying
1 scoville is like 1000 to a Brit lol
But what happens if the FTC appeals before the 14th?
Dark Rand LFG
Reforged he is having emotional damage

Xbox all ways gets hate it's about Microsoft got some good news
Alexa, play Today Was a Good Day by Ice Cube🥊💥🦄💫🎶😎💚🖤🔥🔥🔥🔥🤣🤣🤣🤣
Jez do the British hot food challenge and eat a lamb phaal.
I love it when Rand gets pissed off he talks good trash. Dude what’s so funny is Microsoft pays all of us off to talk trash to PlayStation fanboys. Yet Microsoft needs PlayStation if the buy Activision because of COD. Microsoft is rich when it comes to paying off Xbox users to say positive thing and trash PlayStation. But when it comes to spending 70 billion on a publisher Microsoft can’t afford it and needs PlayStation to sell COD. Lol. Microsoft should buy Take 2 right after the Activision deal is done. To show PlayStation Ponies how much bank the Microsoft has got. Maybe Phil Spencer should hey Jim Ryan how much do you want for all of Sony including PlayStation. Lol. I’d love to see Jim Aryana having to call Phil Boss. Lol
No timestamps? 😢
Rand needs to be careful, some that salt could easily land in his food 😂
Rand is a cusp Millennial/GenX as a true millennial I can deal with that
Breaking: According to a report on Bloomberg, the U.S. Federal Trade Commission is now “leaning towards” appealing the court’s decision to deny it a preliminary injunction to block Microsoft’s acquisition of Activision Blizzard.
The report claims that an appeal could be filed “as early as Wednesday,” citing a source said to be familiar with the deliberations.
They can do whatever they want, without the TRO and without the PI, MSFT can close the deal, and every single process related with the FTC can be done once the merger is done.
Wow it's a congratulations on the judge's decision but lets not run before we can walk shal we , we have people saying PlayStation ia over🤷 sony fans take the L🤫 lets see how it plays out in the coming years with ABK under Microsoft before we say Moronic statements , lets enjoy this time contemplating what's on ABK and could possibly come from ABK now instead of rhe demise of PlayStation 🤷.
You're one to talk considering all you say is moronic statements like how GP is trash, indie games are trash, ABK deal is dead, pointing out the fact that Phil never said that making good games doesn't matter means you're an Xbox fanboy, etc. Your middle name is "moronic." There aren't that many people saying PS is dead because of the ABK merger except for Sony themselves.
Anyways I look forward to seeing you cope over the coming weeks.
@@jimmythegamer2231 my criticism of Microsoft and Xbox have been about how because of this merger they have left gamepass imo bare so this is me checking in now that they have their focus back. Shovelpass is no more gamepass is about to get an influx of great games I'm gonna rejoice and enjoy the next couple of weeks and beyond so get over yourself jimmy
@@jimmythegamer2231I have never been against this merger so don't make up stuff like I ever said ABK is dead🤷 I have never said that so please go over my comments and please tell me time and dates when I have said that, I have always been for this merger because it means games especially call of duty🤷 I have been a buying cod for 18+ years now I won't need to🤷. Also I was a big crash and spyro fan playing them with my mother 🤷., I am a big wow fan and spent far too much on Wow, Overwatch 🤷 hearthstone 🤷 I was a mega fan of StarCraft due to the Late Totalbiscuit 🤷 even King offers my wife some opportunities as she a mega Candy crush fans with getting to level 6/7k she even have merch with candy crush on it🤷 so please don't tell me what I am or aren't excited.for. still living rent free in your head I see Jimmy 😂😂😂😂
@@kevinlist3330 Dude you literally live rent-free in my head. For some reason you kept following and trolling me for several months until you stopped commenting as of late. Again, YOU'RE one to talk. But whatever, talking to you Kevin is like talking to a brick wall.
@@jimmythegamer2231 keeps commenting on who's posts🤷 I have hardly commented on yours ( Far too Xbox fanboy your comment seem to be) , following and trolling 🤷 dude get over yourself we watch the same channels and comment on them that is it, I don't go back months of your comments and say your comment has aged like milk because you got delusions of grandeur while watching a showcase 😂😂 think you need a reality check dude there are bigger things than Xbox and gaming I even have you muted on UA-cam but a like on my post reminds me to come back and 11 hours ago you replied lol so il reply to your reply when ever I get around to it 😂 you want the deal to go through, I want the deal to go through 🤷 all I want from Xbox is a bit more focus on the games and more catering to my tastes and I will be happy 🤷 I criticism of Microsoft goes the same way with PlayStation and Nintendo they all aren't perfect and I ain't a fanboi of any because it a product /consumer relationship I want something from them they in return want something from me🤷 simple the day they give me something I want is the day they get money from me and I'm happy.
Recent convert from playstation loving my xbox and game pass, came looking for news on the acquisition found you. Having this be my first exposure to your content...gotta say super turned off by your extensive rant on how hard you have worked and how your feelings are hurt by people talking shit. I know my comment won't change anything and your fans will flame but seriously bro, chill out and stick to on topic content, that part of your show is good.
15:18 No once again Jez is spreading misinformation....Phil said he would keep COD multiplatform under Oath....when he was asked about other ABK games he flat out said no, the FTC lawyer even pressed Phil about Diablo and the judge cut the lawyer off. This just proves that Jez did not listen to the hearing and likely got his info from clowns like Destin Legarie
BREAKING: the FTC has filed an appeal against Judge Corley's decision to deny its preliminary injunction request over Microsoft's proposed Activision Blizzard acquisition.
😂😂😂 This won't age well, the ftc appealed this ... should have waited before claiming victory
I disagree with Ran on banjo but the game cant be what it was in the 90's. How well did ratchet and clank do? The problem is buget, if they did a 100 mil banjo with Pixar level gfx and awesome story telling then that game would do well. As we all know MS struggles with those type of games.
How do you know MS struggles with those types of games? They've never made one before. Closest is Psychonauts 2 and that was a success.
@@jimmythegamer2231 im talking over the shoulder cinematic games.
Who is jealous of a 3rd plsce console and a dying user base.
You are lmao. The delusions are strong with you
More companies to get miss managed
Call of Redfall 2025
Call of Halo infinite 10 years liveservice 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Cope and cope hard
The cope is real with you, pony. Bold of you to assume Acti-Blizz isn't already mismanaged. MS will fix ABK's terrible workplace and revive a bunch of dead IPs, resulting in the production of many great Xbox exclusive games.
Starfield will be a success, just like Hi-Fi Rush, Forza Horizon 5, Psychonauts 2, Grounded, Pentiment, MS Flight Simulator, etc. Keep crying.
Well good thing you do not have to play those games right???
@@jimmythegamer2231 they are hurt
@@gamerbychoice4024 PlayStation fanboys will be funding Xbox exclusive games from here on out. The best selling PS5 game year-over-year will be a first-party Xbox game lol (in regards to CoD). Xbox's own game will be outselling most PS exclusives on PlayStation.
Don’t worry Sony is gonna announce that they bought rockstar,ea and from soft at their secret second showcase. 😂
No matter who they buy I want to see the fallout. They either come off as hypocrites to everyone but the most hardcore PS fans or the they straight up raise regulatory eyebrows after their adamant and vocal complaints regarding microsoft buying a publisher and potentially doing what they’ve always done. With the industry going as it is and all the Sony rumors of buying Ubisoft or Square or etc, they’ve really shot them selves in the foot shining this giant light over them
@@vullord666 Yep, Sony likely won't even be able to acquire Japanese publishers like Square Enix either, because they shot themselves in the foot by claiming that Nintendo is not in direct competition with Xbox or Playstation. Now, if Sony ever attempts to acquire multiple Japanese studios, it would make them appear as if they're attempting to cement their "monopoly" in Japan against Xbox.
If they do I think regulators need to take a look at that and block the deal. Lol
I want whatever them ponies are on
I’m starting to think Rand is very self conscious. The show flows better when he’s not in his feelings. Like why do you care what people are saying on twitter bro?
