Honestly why are these comments always on a low effort alt account. Is this self awareness, why not just post on whatever main account you use instead of quickly creating to changing to a random account. This just seems bizarre to me…

Okay, I’m not the person who called them collaborators, but how are you rationalizing a conversation that goes like this, “Yo, Russia just FYI I’m about to do some shit.” To, “Hey daddy Putin, is there some deal we can work out here so I can use your satellite state’s airspace, thanks”. And pretending they are the SAME thing…

JFC, is common sense dead on this planet.

That’s the thing though it’s not even that extreme any more. For the past several years it’s been Sony receiving those benefits but I think Bo4 was the last time you get actual month long exclusive shit. Ever since then the time line started decreasing and now they are at a point where they no longer happens. Sony is legit complaining about theoretically/possibly (despite guarantees to the contrary) losing unique skins on purchase, some random double xp perks once a month, and I think some extra create a class slots IF you buy the battle pass, that’s basically the jist of their “exclusives” at this point.

What it was in the past is no longer relevant to be frank, it only matters what’s been going down the last few years, and that’s what it is, some skins and other random token bull shit. It’s actually laughable at this point, people aren’t buying PlayStations for CoD for those perks any more, the days were you would get a month long preview before anyone else are already long gone…. This was also a time before crossplay and proper PC support, things have changed and there’s no way Sony doesn’t already understand this….

That’s the point, it’s a “show” they can’t or won’t stop other actual consequential mergers due to lobbyist/etcetera. This scenario makes it seem like they have “teeth” and are actually “sticking it to big tech” when it reality they are not and are completely toothless. It’s a gaming company and MICROSOFT. it’s the perfect Unicorn that no one important enough cares about so they get to look “tough” on “big tech”….

I mean these programs exist, they don’t go out and collect them, older currency just gets destroyed wants it finds its way to banks/financial institutions. So I assume that means they aren’t going out of their way to destroy the “queen’s” bills once they reach financial institutions, instead they will be allowed to recirculate.

I’m going based off of the other persons comments and just assuming they are correct, that they aren’t being destroyed.
