Virtual Legality

TELLING STORIES | Is Microsoft x Activision Blizzard Set to ”Fall Apart”? (VL738)

Things take time. It's not a fun fact, but it's true. When Microsoft signed to purchase ("Call of Duty" maker) Activision they said they "expected" for the deal to close sometime before June 30, 2023.
But that's a long time. A long time for speculation. A long time for innuendo. As the New York Post and WCCFTech have found.
Let's talk about it.
Today, mere journalism is loosed upon the world...in Virtual Legality.

DON’T LISTEN TO THIS! | Xbox, Activision, and EU Phase 2 Escalation (VL737)

The European Commission, regulatory arm of the European Union, seems to be walking the same path as the UK's Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) in its evaluation of Microsoft's proposed acquisition of Activision Blizzard.
But this isn't news.
Let's talk about why not.
Repetition is the branding iron of knowledge...in Virtual Legality.

PSVR2 DEAD ON ARRIVAL? | Sony Announces Pricing and ”Support” (VL736)

Virtual Reality has long been a dream of many, and in the past few years the technology has begun to be adopted in fits and starts.
And yet, it has not found generalized mass market adoption for a host of reasons, one being its often prohibitive price point.
Sony's PlayStation VR 2 product (PSVR2) most definitely does not seek to change that.
Let's talk about markets, technology, and foolish decisions.
It's all about markets today...in Virtual Legality.

Is Game Pass ”Profitable”? | Activision may be Forcing Xbox’s Hand (VL732)

Phil Spencer has been open in his desires to grow Microsoft's Xbox division and it's Game Pass subscription product, even with folks like the UK's Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) seemingly against him.
But as at least some regulators appear to be readying their arguments to block the massive near $70B Activision acquisition, Microsoft is not sitting on its hands. What did Spencer say? Why did he say it?
Sometimes the best thing to know, is what you don't know...in Virtual Legality.

Bayonetta 3! | Hellena Taylor! | Do More Half-Truths Help or Hurt? (VL730)

The wait for the release of Platinum Games' Bayonetta 3 is almost over, but fans supportive of the character's original English voice actor, Helena Taylor, have been called to wait forevermore.
After Bloomberg dissected the "truth content" of Ms. Taylor's original statement, the voice actor has come back for more, attempting to defend herself with more half-truths and misdirection.
The question remains, is she doing absolutely anyone (including herself) any good?
Let's discuss.
That's right, today we defend Jason Schreier...in Virtual Legality.

CMA/Activision Chaos | US Chamber Speaks | Xbox Fan Warns Sony (VL728)

The fight between Microsoft's Xbox division and the UK's Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) has only just begun...and now everyone can tell both sides how they feel.
What will the console warriors do with this new found power? What is the US Chamber and why does it not really represent what many seem to think? And will any scuttling of the Activision deal really lead to Sony regretting it's life choices?
It's a potpourri of pandemonium...in Virtual Legality.
