4J - positive general but they have worked with MS and basically said MS didn't pressure them on the games that they did work on re favouring MS platforms
B - short and sweet, no must have ip
C - MS is trustworthy, consolidation especially around cloud gaming is inevitable, Tencent competition (ownership of ABK shares and the asymmetric nature of the Chinese/Western markets)
D - hard to predict the outcomes but sees No impact on their business or their ability to distribute their games on xbox or other consoles.
E - PS sales stagnating and basically glowing of Xbox, bit weird one but ehh
F - supportive of the deal, basically thinks the arguments against the acquisition is exaggerated (small dig at Sony in there). Also says employees at ABK might be better under MS.
Working on the rest whilst getting my steps in. May read the ABK, MS and Sony ones when I get to my laptop. I am wondering when the Google and other bigger participants responses drop.
Sony was a repetition of previous arguments but there was some stuff that was close to being interesting. I would argue that Sony not having a GaaS does make this an apple to orange comparison although a valid one.
