I’ve seen lots of comments about Microsoft engaging in an acquisition war with Sony but isn’t it really against TenCent?

Exactly. They won’t do it now while their Activision/Blizzard acquisition is under scrutiny but they could easily adopt a new strategy in a few years that restricts purchases through stores Microsoft controls

Hope this trend continues to strengthen over the next few years!

I do wonder how Microsoft buying up basically the entirety of the western game dev world will influence this in the future though

Oh you’re right, totally missed that

What state do you live in?

I know I’m doing good WHEN I get served this kind of content. I don’t browse YT logged in, my browser always deletes cookies upon closure, and I run Ghostery/add block plugins.

Living in Texas, I kinda assume that is why I constantly get this right wing content (ads, vid recommendations). I figure my location is all they know about me and so that is why I get served this content.

It just tells me they don’t know anything about me so my countermeasures are working 🤞🏼

I ended up getting New World since it’s the lowest price I’ve seen. I’m also hoping that the game has improved since launch. Going to keep browsing this thread to see what other deals people share!
