It seems like, if the deal goes through at all, Call of Duty will remain.

Colin Moriarty

I just wanna play it, not solve puzzles.

Colin Moriarty

We've talked about this quite a few times.

Colin Moriarty

Is consolidation and less streaming services for gaming not preferable to every gaming company having their own separate streaming service like we have right now for tv and movies? Just a thought.

Chris Evans

Yes, my God of War experience is being hampered by the puzzles being spoiled by the characters. These games don't need to be made for monkeys, don't put puzzles in the game if you won't let me solve them. It's actually my singular complaint with it - fantastic game otherwise.

Ryan Hayman

Part of me wonders if Sony is opening Pandoras box here, the verbiage used could even be applied to their own practices in some cases and there's a possibility of them irreparably burning bridges, a lot of people stand to lose out on a lot of money if it is blocked. Maybe they think its worth it maybe it will be business as usual. Personally I would much prefer a reality where Microsoft gets call of Duty and continues to make it available everywhere switch, cloud whatever rather than the FTC blocks tells them "no, this is how you do business" and they proceed to take that cash and just money hat shit much in vein of Deathloop, FF7R, Ghostwire, KOTOR remake etc. But thats me. The fallout will certainly be interesting whatever happens.

Craig Mcguire

That's my thing. =)

Colin Moriarty

I'd believe that they're both bad.

Colin Moriarty

We're not totally convinced Europe exists.

Colin Moriarty

Genuinely plant based turkey is better than real turkey because it's more moist. Fight me.

Cass Whelan

We're going to war with the Americans!

Cass Whelan

I mean, Italian food, come on

Mario Diosdado

Thats because 90% of Americans don't have heritage in America because of how young it is.

Al Rodriguez

Not to mention 90% of US food are European rip-offs 🀣

Germanos

Do you guys realise how diverse Europe is? Italy is Europe and you’re discussing black pudding πŸ˜‚

I'm glad people like Grounded. I would again suggest that game was in development before Obsidian was purchased.

Soon, it'll be in writing. If they want the deal to go through, anyway.

Colin Moriarty

Colin, you cannot continue to claim that COD would stay on PlayStation, because of a quote from Phil Spencer. Whatever he says doesn't mean anything, as Phil has a record of claiming stances and back-paddling them after some time. Continuously! Just remember what he said about the toxicity of exclusives, just to change his stance completely after a few months (months!), claiming: "The Bethesda deal was always about exclusive titles for Gamepass subscribers". I understand your point. I also think it would be crazy to remove COD from PS. But the argument for that cannot be words from someone who's a proven liar, and since MS started to be real aggressive (Bethesda buy-out) Phil continuous to say what he needs to say at the given moment and just that. Nevertheless, awesome work on the document analysis. If only Kotaku and Polygon writers (as I will not call them journalists) would put 1/10th of what you put in to research the topic, we would have a different industry.

Germanos

1:07:00 Colin went on his Tupac at the end of "Hit em up" rant. Loved it.

Jonathan Turner

I agree with Colin that we have yet to see MS make quality games but I will say Grounded is super underrated right now and it definitely delivers as a GamePass/Xbox game along with Pentament as well. It’s true they have yet to prove themselves but Obsidian is starting to give them points in that regard. Also imo, Bethesda has always had a better relationship with MS and Xbox over PS. I thought that purchase was pretty organic.

Jeff Caseres

Lord willing at this point. My day slinging packages for fedex just had me in a mood.

Cat Daddy

Soon.

Colin Moriarty

Thank you.

Colin Moriarty

You guys keep relentlessly teasing us Brits, but we're still going to welcome you with open arms when you finally decide to stop by.

Christopher Heeley

I have to fully agree with how SS services agnostic gamers. The tone and analysis manages to straddle a really fine line. Everything feels fair and never do I feel like the crew are beating their chest "For PlayStation".
