Finally did a big thing: got a PS5!
Got PS+ and while I have God of War Ragnarok, I am opting to wait on that and focus on other games. Currently sinked into Spider-Man: Miles Morales for the moment, and then probably FFVII Remake (Astro's Playroom is also an incredibly cute platformer).

Adding this to general because of the benefits 15% off PSN/Nintendo E shop/Xbox Gift Cards.
The Membership is 50 dollars a year, so could be worth it if you have three switch game so the list you want.
Also There are Switch games you can buy 2 and get one free. I just pre ordered Mario RPG, Mario Wonder and Pikman 4 (also comes with a bag) for 120 dollars (plus tax)
Over 13 hours into FFXVI, and it might be my favorite game of the year so-far.
There is so much it does right; and it's scale and scope feels not hindered in the slightest. Yoshi-P and CBD3 are hitting it out of the ballpark so-far.

Microsoft has won the FTC court case, denying the preliminary injunction. The FTC has up to July 14th to potentially appeal, but as it stand--it seems things are wrapping up for the merger of Microsoft-Activision/Blizzard.
The CMA, Microsoft, and Activision/Blizzard are now also asking UK CAT to pause in the litigations, as it seems they will be forming a deal in due process.

The FTC really didn't do a good job of proving their case in everything I read. I personally feel this was probably the best outcome for Activision Blizzard with where they were.
I know its easy to be anti-Microsoft based on their size and past, but out of the big tech companies they actually seem to be doing the right thing by most.

Compared to Sony, Nintendo and Steam they are about the same...but kinda worst
With the exception of High Fi Rush, all they do is put games on Game pass....which is cool but also they can't make an amazing AAA game to save their life.
Like Game Pass is a cool concept but if that's all they can provide then Ii don't want them owning more studios....either make amazing games or get out of the space. I'm not a fan of them buying studios then not doing anything with them
With those companies
Nintendo does their own thing, can't really hate on them other than for artificially keeping their 1st party game prices high
Steam has been monopolistic for a while and the class action lawsuit popped up again, but they do their own thing and are really just a reseller so can't really get too upset about them
Sony kept the exclusivity game going and has been weaponizing it for a long, long time. In the hearings, a lot of that came out, I mean some of the cases against MS sounded like they were written by Sony.
My comparison was meant to be against MS, Apple, Google, and Amazon. MS has gone through great effort to open source the .net library making it available on any OS not just Windows, extend exclusives to other platforms and providers (Apple, NVidia, etc), and to make necessary applications like Word available on for free.
Microsoft is a big business looking to make money for sure, but those others I mentioned have gone from "Do no Evil" to unbelievable predatory in the past years. Apple may be the exception, but I'm never going to be on the side of a company selling a $999.00 monitor stand as not being predatory.

Since this is about gaming thats how I will compare them
Sony will pay for exclusives but.....so has Microsoft. So it's hard to really say which one is better or worst but most gamers choose the PS5 because Sony still makes amazing games.
This move is taking some huge IP and giving them to a company because....It benefits consumers in zero ways. So I'm against it
If you want to have the best gaming console you make games....Sony and Nintendo prove it.
Even with the FTC appealing, all roads are ahead as Activision-Blizzard are aiming to begin delisting by Monday.

Xbox Thinks Game Pass Can Help Offset Tens of Millions in Lost Starfield and Indiana Jones Sales - IGN
A new court document submitted by the FTC as part of its ongoing legal battle with Microsoft notes how the tech giant thinks Game Pass and console sales can offset the losses that will come from making Starfield and Indiana Jones exclusive and not releasing on PlayStation.
I feel like Microsoft is either lying to it self or really thinks it will gain like 20 million subscribers over the next few years

They can just release an model that has a replaceable battery, like the LED modelWonder if this would mean any possible delays for the Switch 2.
EU: Handheld consoles will be required to have replaceable batteries by 2027
The European Union has set a new regulation for handheld games consoles such as the Nintendo Switch and Steam Deck and will require them to have replaceable batteries from 2027.
It’s also something that can easily be updated in later model versions of the next gen handheld too, should be fine if it’s hitting 2024
All handhelds would need it by 2027. Idk know if it’s as extreme as they’d have to pull the ones without the replaceable batteries from shelves but why risk it?
