A key email in the FTC v. Microsoft case
Would great if they spent all money making games instead of buying studios that pump out annual rehashes.
It's a business strategy email shared internally, any company would spend enormous amounts of money if it means eradicating the competition.
For us as customers, though, the more competition the better, it drives innovation up and prices down.
You're right, that's why capitalism needs oversight.
I think Companies should be too afraid of punishments to ever say something like this out loud, let alone write it down.
I mean, in Context the whole E-Mail is way less terrible than the headline (as is tradition) but if it were up to me, I'd still like to make toeing the line like that quite painful.
Yeah same. White collar crime is way under persecuted.
It seems crazy, like Insomniac Games cost Sony $229M, so MSFT could have bought or built like 300 AAA studios for the price of ATVI.
I just really don't see how it is worth it.
