    The FTC has filed a legal challenge to try and block Microsoft’s plan to buy Activision Blizzard for $68.7 billion, according to a press release from the regulator. The lawsuit was filed today after weeks of back and forth between Microsoft, Sony, and regulators over competition concerns and the future of Call of Duty. The FTC argues that the acquisition would “enable Microsoft to suppress competitors to its Xbox gaming consoles and its rapidly growing subscription content and cloud-gaming business.”

    Microsoft leans on Game Pass, Call of Duty promises to calm regulators - The Washington Post
    ►https://www.washingtonpost.com/video-games/2022/09/01/microsoft-activision-game-pass-call-of-duty-playstation

    https://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-apps/imrs.php?src=https://arc-anglerfish-washpost-prod-washpost.s3.amazonaws.com/public/R5VDAOVM7ZGTBPT2LQBF5GGWVI.jpg&w=1440

    Microsoft’s unprecedented $68.7 billion purchase of embattled video game giant Activision Blizzard has antitrust regulators sniffing the scene with eyebrows raised, prompting a response this week from the tech giant. Activision Blizzard’s Call of Duty series, it said, will continue to launch on Sony’s PlayStation consoles as well as on Xbox, while Microsoft’s Game Pass subscription service will bring franchises like Overwatch and Diablo to other devices, including phones, via streaming.

    That latter point — repeatedly emphasized by Microsoft — glosses over an inconvenient fact: Game Pass is itself a platform, one that allows users to access a rotating selection of hundreds of games to download and play for a low monthly price. In spreading it far and wide, Microsoft is not performing some act of selfless magnanimity. Instead, it’s setting itself up to come out on top in the next video game console war, one in which apps and services win the day, not specific devices. (A U.K. regulator argued as much in a decision published Thursday, which amounted to the first real public challenge to Microsoft’s planned acquisition).

    PlayStation: Xbox’s Call of Duty offer was “inadequate on many levels” | GamesIndustry.biz
    ▻https://www.gamesindustry.biz/playstation-xboxs-call-of-duty-offer-was-inadequate-on-many-levels

    https://assets.reedpopcdn.com/new_era-mw2.jpg/BROK/thumbnail/1600x900/format/jpg/quality/80/new_era-mw2.jpg

    Microsoft has promised to keep Call of Duty on PlayStation for three years beyond the current agreement between Activision and Sony, says PlayStation CEO Jim Ryan.

    In a statement provided to GamesIndustry.biz, Ryan says the offer was “inadequate on many levels.”

    The disagreement between the two companies follows Microsoft’s offer to buy Call of Duty publisher Activision Blizzard in a deal worth nearly $69 billion. The deal is currently being scrutinised by competitions regulators, with the UK regulator (The Competition and Markets Authority) concerned over the possibility of Microsoft “withholding or degrading” Activision Blizzard’s content from other consoles or subscription services.

    Last week, Xbox revealed that it had “provided a signed agreement to Sony to guarantee Call of Duty on PlayStation, with feature and content parity, for at least several more years” beyond Sony’s existing contract with Activision. Xbox said this offer “goes well beyond typical gaming industry agreements.”

    The current deal between Sony and Activision Blizzard around Call of Duty is believed to cover the next three releases, including this year’s Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2.

    However, Sony says the offer fails to consider the impact on PlayStation gamers.

    The future of Microsoft’s gaming business will remain anchored in its Xbox console, but its growth will increasingly look beyond the box itself towards devices potential gamers already own — namely phones, tablets, and PCs. 

    Microsoft has already begun to support the Steam PC storefront in a big way, but it’s also banking heavily on Xbox Cloud Gaming, which streams games from a remote server location to Android devices, iOS devices via the web at Xbox.com/play, and even new Samsung TVs with its 2022 gaming hub update.

    I was diagnosed with cancer in early June. For some reason, since then, I haven’t been able to stop playing CD Projekt Red’s “Cyberpunk 2077,” a story about how you must navigate or defy terminal illness.

    The terminal illness facing V, the game’s protagonist, is the all-but-certain erasure of their soul. Their personality, memories and cognitive functions are being overwritten by an artificial intelligence, Johnny Silverhand, a rocker and branded terrorist brought to virtual life by Keanu Reeves. They can only deny or accept their fate; either grasp at some way to sever their connection as Silverhand takes over, or leave this world on their own terms.

      Syndicat patronal ? Ou de salariés du jeu vidéo ? #stjv

      C’est un syndicat de salariés, Game Workers Alliance.

      L’adhésion au syndicat fait suite aux multiples cas de sexisme et de harcèlement sexuel au sein d’Activision Blizzard dénoncés depuis le début de l’année, avec des poursuites judiciaires, en cours de règlement à l’amiable, qui, si ma mémoire est bonne, n’a pas encore été définitivement validé par la justice.

      Il est à noter que l’adhésion au syndicat de travailleurs a été votée par l’équipe d’assurance qualité (les « testeurs ») au sein du studio Raven Software, filiale d’Activision Blizzard. Parmi les démarches visant à empêcher l’apparition d’un syndicat de travailleurs au sein de l’éditeur, la réaction du studio a été de supprimer le département d’assurance qualité en tant que tel, pour affecter les salariés directement aux jeux testés. Cette tentative anti-syndicale semble avoir échoué.

      Jusqu’ici, Microsoft restait distant vis-à-vis de la création du syndicat au sein d’Activision Blizzard. En effet, Microsoft n’a pas encore finalisé l’acquisition d’Activision Blizzard. En attendant, Microsoft ne souhaitait pas s’immiscer dans les affaires internes de sa future filiale, rattachée à la division Xbox. Il semblerait qu’il y a eu un changement de cap.

      On se plaint, en France, de l’absence de représentativité des salariés par les syndicats. Au moins, la représentativité syndicale est obligatoire pour les entreprises au-delà d’une certaine taille, ce qui permet de coordonner les efforts intra et inter-entreprises dans l’intérêt, en général, des salariés.

      Enfin, quel que soit le pays, les salariés du domaine des jeux vidéo sont très peu syndiqués, la tendance étant à l’individualisation des situations qui profite habituellement à l’employeur, à en croire, notamment, les rarissimes mouvements sociaux de l’industrie en France.

    Microsoft says more than 10 million people have streamed games on Xbox Cloud Gaming - The Verge
    ▻https://www.theverge.com/2022/4/26/23043678/microsoft-xbox-cloud-gaming-10-million-people-streamed

    https://cdn.vox-cdn.com/thumbor/-GUazH8inXV-xyYp-bOmKFPOLEk=/0x146:2040x1214/fit-in/1200x630/cdn.vox-cdn.com/uploads/chorus_asset/file/16309942/acastro_190530_1777_xbox_0003.0.jpg

    It’s a rare meaningful stat about cloud gaming

    More than 10 million people have streamed games over Xbox Cloud Gaming, Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella said Tuesday during the company’s third-quarter earnings call. Cloud gaming is a feature that’s only available as part of the $14.99 per month Xbox Game Pass Ultimate tier, so the figure shared Tuesday indicates that a lot of people are checking it out. It’s also a concrete stat in a field where there have been few — Google doesn’t break out numbers for Stadia, and any numbers shared by Nvidia for GeForce Now include people who have used a no-strings-attached free trial.

    […] It’s also worth noting that you can technically sign up for a month of Xbox Game Pass Ultimate for just a dollar and then cancel, and it’s unclear how many people who did that and streamed a game might also be counted in Microsoft’s figure shared Tuesday.

      Faut-il faire des jeux inclusifs, ou des jeux séparés en fonction des capteurs sensoriels, des capacités cognitives de chacun ?
      En vrai, je n’ai pas la réponse. Mais ce que je sais, c’est qu’on a parfois besoin d’une expérience qui utilise pleinement tous nos capteurs, toutes nos compétences pour rendre l’effet désiré et transmettre l’expérience souhaitée.
      Donc dans la continuité de cette pensée, et dit sèchement : il ne faudrait pas arrêter de produire des jeux excluants sur le plan des sens. Il faudrait en produire d’autres, à côté, qui prennent en compte cette disparité des êtres vivants.

      En complément, certains problemes d’inclusion sont souvent des problemes tech. L’oubli de généricité dans la compatibilité des joypad (&co), dans les input clavier (touche /vs/ caractère), dans les résolutions d’écran, portabilité entre OS/consoles... Ces problemes là sont des négligences de conception et d’implémentation qu’on ne trouve pas que dans l’industrie du jeu vidéo (et meme souvent moins qu’ailleurs - le jeu vidéo pardonne moins).

      Signal visuel en parallèle de signal auditif, carrément, c’est universel, c’est UX. Par contre, s’interdire des couleurs et l’imposer à tous... si ça dégrade l’expérience ce certaines, pas sûr...

    Game Studios Show Support For Ukraine - Game Informer
    ▻https://www.gameinformer.com/2022/04/04/game-studios-show-support-for-ukraine

    https://www.gameinformer.com/sites/default/files/styles/thumbnail/public/2022/03/03/6b5b42e4/stalker_2_header.jpg

    Russia openly attacked and invaded Ukraine on February 24 after weeks of mounting tensions between the two countries, with hundreds of Ukrainian citizens reportedly killed by bombings and Russian militia as a result. As the world watches this historical and terrifying event unfold, efforts have begun to aid civilians and organizations on the ground floor and those displaced, like the Ukrainian Red Cross. Many of these efforts have come from studios within the video game industry, some in the form of charity drives, others with public displays of support for Ukraine.

    […]

    Update: As of April 4, which is the last day that Epic Games is donating Fortnite proceeds to Ukraine humanitarian efforts, the Fortnite community and Xbox have raised $144 million.

    Sony suspends all PlayStation sales in Russia over Ukraine war
    ▻https://www.cnbc.com/2022/03/09/sony-suspends-all-playstation-sales-in-russia-over-ukraine-war.html

    https://image.cnbcfm.com/api/v1/image/106799600-1605802328453-gettyimages-1229598259-AFP_8V48AQ.jpeg?v=1605802448

    Sony has stopped selling its PlayStation consoles and software in Russia, becoming the latest major brand to withdraw from the country over the Ukraine war.

    Sony’s decision is one of the video game industry’s most significant moves yet. Experts say the company has the biggest presence in Russia out of any console maker.

    “PlayStation has the largest installed base, so if a company on the console side has a particularly hard choice from a purely financial angle, it’s Sony,” said Lewis Ward, head of gaming at research firm IDC.
