This is arguably the single greatest Xbox podcast EVER! An all star line up with the biggest deal in the history of gaming dropping live. Congratulations guys, we did it 😄
Fortunately the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals just denied the FTC's request for an injunction so Microsoft is now guaranteed to close the ABK deal on Monday. Looks like Jez will have to eat two hot chips now. Feel bad for him lol.
Absolutely enjoy the show every week. I really look forward to your show. You guys really helped me out it’s been a tough week for me. The show really brings me joy. Thanks guys
1:59:34 Phil took responsibility for things that happened under his leadership, unlike the head of certain government agencies (cough*cough*Lina Khan*cough*cough). No wonder that the employee satisfaction survey for that agency is below 50 percent. I have a survey of that type at my job, and I will only tell you that anything below 85ish percent isn't good. 70ish percent is bad, and below 50 is heads will roll territory. Those kinds of results happen because people are being asked to do things that go against their principles.
I think there should be a yearly wrap up UA-cam show with all you content creators on the same show. Love that you all have different opinions and viewpoints.
Hands down the best podcast i listen to anyway but throw all these awesome ppl in just shooting the shit and bouncing of each other like this and you got the best episode ever. Love this community and even though i’m always just lurking and catch it on the replay i feel like a part of it.
Well rand was definitely wrong when he initially said Microsoft would make cod exclusive. Jez was on the money saying it didn't make sense to do that and he didn't think they would.
Jez and Parris were honestly the only reasonable voices in this episode, more solid debate and less console war cringe would be a good direction for the show, those moments of genuine conversation about the whole industry are what makes a podcast like this so enjoyable.
I disagree, I felt like they are more reasonable all the time, wanted some spicy action and talk today, let’s have some war fun for once. It’s all for a good time and laughs. 🎉😂
Today's podcast shows why the usual format works so well. With 5 of you every time somebody starts making a good point somebody jumps over the top with another subject or just a rude in-joke. After one hour I'm giving up, see you next week
The ponies are in complete disarray. Now they are talking about how playstation needs exclusive dlc for battlefield. They are the most anti consumer lot I've ever seen.
This was a great podcast!! 6 hours.. JEEZ-US! When the news broke live that was incredible & ppl were poppin in n out of the stream, was awesome & hilarious to hear the reactions 😂 I'm most excited about blizzard, all that IP has so much potential! Probably one of the few that hope WoW comes to consoles, the futures looking bright 🌞 🎉

XBOX ACTIVISION ACQUISITION DEAL CAN DEFINITELY CLOSE TONIGHT AT 12:01AM ALL SONY CRYBABIES KEEP ON ACTING LIKE SPOILED STEP-KIDS 😢😢XBOX IS KING REMEMBER COD EXPIRES ON 12/31/23
Lol the comments from Sony fans saying the deal was 100% dead when the CMA blocked the deal aged like fine milk. They're coping hard now, saying the deal means nothing lmao.
@@petegaines52 Yep, but I think we won't get a public announcement until Monday (since that's the first business day) with a blogpost saying "Welcoming Activision-Blizzard-King to the Xbox family"
Lol, the deal should be closing on Monday. Also remember with CoD Microsoft has already stated it will remain on PS as long as they want it not that CoD was in question. This trial was never really about CoD. The deal was more about the mobile arm of King for Microsoft which is important to GamePass. Speaking of GamePass and CoD. My understanding is CoD cannot go onto GamePass until the current contract with PS expires in 2025. Not sure if older versions apply or not. So even though ABK changes ownership all ABK contracts are still enforced. Now there is always the chance PS will not accept a CoD deal. In that case they lose CoD but also Microsoft loses a lot of revenue from CoD which hurts them as well. Not sure about the PC but PS is their largest market. That is one reason you have seen the deals with ABK and PS. Anyway, it will all work out. Happy this is finally over and we can move past this mess. Hopefully this also increases competition which is good for customers but also the industry. That includes PS and Xbox.
Not bringing Nick in hurt guys, on the plus side jez’s reaction and banning people was Oscar worthy haha. Don’t blame jez, us in the UK aren’t used to nice things only pain and suffering.
Xbox Has Released A Minecraft 'Creeper' Themed Mini Fridge Available now in the US : New Minecraft Green Creeper Body 12 Can Mini Fridge ($98.00 Walmart)
My favorite part of this W is that Xbox is here to stay. Was likely always so but after dropping nearly 80 billion there can be no question about longevity. I think the “Xbox will go third party” can now be laid to rest 🤣.
Amero an sweets are rank. to say they dumb the sweetness down is incorrect. I've been in America a few times and the chocolate is disgusting. tastes nothing like what we have in the UK. Great show man, thoroughly enjoyed it. Great guests and great banter 🎉
Consolidation results in a stack of money being distributed to employees if they have shares in the purchased company leaving and starting their own companies which turn in to the next Bethesda, Activision etc
That's why console sales are very important. All the cloud gamepass doesn't matter if they don't have market share with the console. Thats why they need to focus on the console just as much as everything else. We see Sony bout to box them out cause of the console. Didn't have nothing to do with cloud and mobile
I understand the talk about drip feeding ABK and the reasons why. However, if Xbox don't drip as much ABK content as possible into Game Pass day 1, it walks back all their talk of Xbox Studios content day 1 on Game Pass. In this case day 1 wouldnt be release date but it would be day 1 of them owning it.
Gas or whatever he calls himself is too vulgar, and as for Jez maybe he should stop blocking everyone on twitter, so he actually has a clue on what's going on....
Game dumps are stupid. Both for them and customers. No one has time or will to play all of activision back catalog in one go. Release one COD and one non cod game every month. You have to let your own games breathe and shine. Having Starfield competing with 50 old COD games serves no one. Content management is as important as the content.
No @colteastwood you don't cross in 2h through Germany, look at the map 🤣 in length South to North it's 876km and in wide 640 km. So if you drove constantly 200 km/h it would take you over 4h
@Jez dude I didn't know u also one of ignorants in 1st world countries.. 3rd world countries r not in situation u think them or want them to b.. here ppl having much more services & livin in much bigger homes u wud ever b able to in this lifetime.. bro u got to keep it clean.. u got tons of listeners from 3rd world as well.. ppl livin here r leading much comfortable & peaceful lives.. u guys take care of urselves ✌️
See this is the bullshit I'm talking about COG and GAZ asking xbox to make a 3rd person over the shoulder story driven game why aren't they asking for playstation to have a 1st person shooter🤔...come on if you gonna be neutral be neutral or stop frauding say you a playstation dude tired of the one sided bullshit that's why I can't rock with COG and them cause they don't rock with xbox like that or be fair both ways so glad King is there to protect the Xbox banner
Wtf you talking about? I'm always rinsing PlayStation for failing to make a FPS. It's the primary thing I say when ponies cry about COD. Even had it in the sauce vid where they rinsed Halo and I told em to go back to Killzone. I'm always rinsing PS for not even being able to do MP right. Next time get your facts right before chatting shit, esp with me.
Jez…I highly disagree. Microsoft have the money to outbid Sony for exclusive western titles like Cod. Buying the Publisher was a bit overkill imo. Its like one entrepreneur buying a store on the corner while the other buy a city and claim “it’s equal competition” But I respect the tactic to a degree. Iet me set something clear. Please don’t drag me into this Sony v. Microsoft war. I’ll have access to Activision games either way. 2:46:31

Nope, exclusives matter. As long as Sony has them, and pays for content they didn't even create, then they deserve their own medicine.
