Microsoft-Activision-Blizzard Discussion Thread |OT3| - Sony bends the knee!

Exactly this. For Republicans, this is all about tying to make Joe Biden and the Democrats look bad. I’ve lost complete faith that our politicians actually give a shit about anything other than their petty, childish game.

Also, Jim Jordan is the most feckless, and quite frankly, dishonest person in congress. That man will say literally anything, and usually with false bravado, to make the other side look bad. I don’t want to dive too deep into politics, but fuck that guy. No one should be championing him or anything he has to say.

True, but you can still pick off on what’s bad and what not without being political. Not like one of us is saying only Democrats steal or something so eyeroll.

I had Bing make some Crash Bandicoot art :framed_picture:

Even the democrat congressmen like Jerry Nadler called Khan out on acting on behalf of Sony rather than protect consumers, thats how bad it is for Khan right now

ABK is about the 40th largest company on the Nasdaq by market cap. They would only be removing it if the exchange had been informed the company was to be soon delisted or that there wouldn’t be trades on the stock in the near future

It does not, this type of targeted (but ignorant) digging screams misogyny/racism and jumping on every time a Republican gets a “slam dunk” on her, isn’t the “win” some of the entitled lot seem to think. I’d rather have 1000 Khans over a single fascist any day.

That’s not exactly news to anybody. Also I don’t really feel like the FTC is acting on their behalf so much as they would benefit if they were successful. They have the benefit of just being small enough that they aren’t her main focus right now.

wtf?!

Is this normal in the US of A? Did she give a reason?

No Switch version. I say yes.

That third picture was clearly a hint of the sega acquisition and the Sonic Crash game crossover/j

The lack of focus on consumers (you know, a primary focus of the FTC’s mandate) would be to differ…

How do you make Bing create this? I want to see what it makes of my dog in art form, haha.

Wow.

A dog should be easy enough. Describe the dog breed and color. I mostly create cats though :laughing: So “comic book style” is a good one, “anime style” is awesome, I used “pop art style” for one of those bandicoot images.

That’s awesome. But how do you choose styles?

I had no idea this existed.

What, a 25% budget reduction?! You can’t spell Lina without a capital L. Ough.

I mean people voted a republican majority in the House so a budget cut was probably inevitable. But her record is not really good.
