Rules:
- 1: No spam or advertising. This basically means no linking to your own content on blogs, YouTube, Twitch, etc.
- 2: No bigotry or gatekeeping. This should be obvious, but neither of those things will be tolerated. This goes for linked content too; if the site has some heavy "anti-woke" energy, you probably shouldn't be posting it here.
- 3: No untagged game spoilers. If the game was recently released or not released at all yet, use the Spoiler tag (the little ⚠️ button) in the body text, and avoid typing spoilers in the title. It should also be avoided to openly talk about major story spoilers, even in old games.

Why is Microsoft announcing this and not Sony? I'm skeptical
Everything what Microsoft thinks and does is under fire due to Activision merger injunction lawsuit by FTC.
Yes, I understand that, but how does the Microsoft/Activision merger have anything to do with Sony?
@vita_man @Jongaros Sony is fighting against the merger based on the possibility of Microsoft taking acitvision titles (such as Call of Duty) off of PlayStation and making them Microsoft exclusives. Sony arguing that a software monopoly is possible and would hurt their hardware sales.
Ooh I see
Part of being sued in court is a process called "discovery" where a whole host of internal documents are disclosed to the opposing side.
It wouldn't surprise me, as part of the merger lawsuit, that a bunch of internal plans were revealed to both sides.
