As a UK resident, the blocked deal is a worry about how the future of gaming will be for our availability/ access if the deal goes ahead and excludes us as a market. I’m not interested in cloud gaming right now …. Who is?!? Stadia folded already ….
The CMA are completely deluded if they think some UK company will bother to compete in the cloud gaming market let alone it increasing by 1000% in the next ten years the only ones that can afford the infrastructure even Google pulled out, with microsoft there isn't a cloud gaming industry
@Harvey Kent why dont they just buy 40% of their shares and make a deal to put cod and all other games on gamepass for next 10 years CMA cant do anything about that!
It's obvious they completely avoided talking about Tears of the Kingdom because it would be too hard to avoid hinting at the fact that Sam's in the middle of right now playing the final game as the reviewer for it.
Justin seems to think if Microsoft and ABK ignore the CMA's ruling then Xbox won't be able to operate in the UK but if that were to happen it's actually MICROSOFT that would be blocked from the UK market and that's a whole different beast altogether. Completely untenable for MS.
On the topic of game buzz, it’s simply a matter of volume. The Horizon DLC is available to people who have finished the main campaign of Forbidden West PSVR is available to the PS5 owner interested in VR and with the financial means to afford it. You ask people within those groups about either of those products and buzz is high, but they aren’t meant to be mainstream products. Everything shouldn’t be discussed from a “failure” conversation tone just because “I’m not hearing about it”.
The day one patch did not fix the performance issues at all. To say that it did is misleading and most likely part of the reason these developers keep releasing unfinished games. It may have made them slightly better but its still in an embarrassing state. There are times in performance mode where it basically has to dumb itself down to 1080P just to stay somewhere close to 60fps. If you want actual info on this, go watch Digital Foundries videos. They basically say that Respawn should be embarrassed in the way this game runs.
We don’t need giant tech companies, we need innovation, and won’t get that with that merger, oh and segment earlier gloss over a game that is broke AGAIN and needs a huge day one patch, that not going to get better with a merger like that..
Oh weird I thought it was cuz when I got it on PS5, usually it would give me a prompt asking which version I want to install, but for Dead Island 2, it only showed ps5. My mistake!
Some examples of bad CMA decisions: violating rules or duties, making factual or legal errors, being unreasonable or disproportionate, discriminating or retaliating. #CMA #competitionlaw
The CMA’s decision to block the MS-AB deal is flawed, irrational, and bad for UK innovation. It ignores the facts and the future of cloud gaming. #FreeTheDeal
Mark needs to be on more podcasts! Miss you on Beyond!
Agreed! Mark is great.
Really hoping one day to watch game scoop back in the studio
Thank you, someone else said it. In person energy is unmatched. Is NOT the same doing a zoom call.
as someone who never got into WoW, it's still so awesome to hear people nerd out about games they love
Is it just me or does Justin not play the majority of big games they talk about?
He’s too busy painting his Warcraft figurines
Yeah he’s talked about that not being his favorite genre.
It would shock a lot of people at how many people in video games media don't play games.
@@S1X_Bucks or know much about it ? It amazes me watching the podcasts how little they know sometimes
Who cares?
They did not react to the innuendos at all but it was definitely intentional 😂. "It looks big in your hands." "Some like it thick."

10 quid for all the games or 70 quid each. The CMA punishing it's own citizens during a time of economic hardship.
@Harvey Kent why dont they just buy 40% of their shares and make a deal to put cod and all other games on gamepass for next 10 years CMA cant do anything about that!
Immediately buying the Tetris CDi vinyl soundtrack - thank you Daemon!!
$100 later, done!
How can anybody hate Mark?!
36:07 WHAT IS HAPPENING 🤣
It's obvious they completely avoided talking about Tears of the Kingdom because it would be too hard to avoid hinting at the fact that Sam's in the middle of right now playing the final game as the reviewer for it.
Avoiding hinting? They basically said that was the case at the beginning of the episode. Something about Sam “crying over a city. “
Sam is too busy “crying over a realm” was absolutely not trying to avoid it lol
Great Stuff, as always! Scoop!
OH MY HOLLY HYLIAN GODDESSES! IS SAM REVIEWING ToTK? That would be great! Scoop from Costa Rica.
That's the podcast we're on!
What's the music at the end?
Tetris on CD-i - Daemon
Justin seems to think if Microsoft and ABK ignore the CMA's ruling then Xbox won't be able to operate in the UK but if that were to happen it's actually MICROSOFT that would be blocked from the UK market and that's a whole different beast altogether. Completely untenable for MS.
Fun Fact Scoopers: You actually CAN choke the Rancor with bones in the arena.
Streets ahead! Pierce did it!
Don't Britta this
The difficulty that matches eldin ring is definitely the grandmaster difficulty, and its not easy (but very satifsfying).
At times even grandmaster feels easy. Feel like it's reg hard.
@Mookie at times you fight a corridor of weak enemies and its easy for sure, but when it's hard, it is a challenge for sure.
Mark is back!! Let’s go!!🔥
37:00 is tight. Nice pick Daemon, very 80’s detective!
It's "Level 0" from the Tetris CD-i game. A great track.
SAM'S REVIEWING TEARS OF THE KINGDOM‽
The song at the end has earthbound vibes

Intelligent Systems also collaborates with Nintendo to developed their consoles and devkits
Saturday Scoop
I’m not a lawyer but I’ve watched a lot of suits.
Great podcast
Do you still watch comments for the first hour after the release?
Who? Both Colin and Mark will occasionally throw us a response.
Especially if Mark and Justin have one of their classic disagreements. 😁
@@mickael486 Howdy!
@@mark_medina_ign4725
Cheers, mate. 🍻
Weekend scooooop!!!
Justin, try the new expansion. Its one of Wow's best ever! You will really enjoy it!
ScoopCraft FTW
14:57 Streets ahead? Does Justin actually say this or did he accidentally pick this up from Community? Lol
Scoop! Great ep!
Well Scoop crew at 8:20, yoU actually CAN launch a bone into his mouth to stunt him for few secs :)
Came looking for this comment
What’s the outro song?
Justin is like a human personification of r/confidentlyincorrect

👊🏾
It’s not next gen only
Imagine spending $5000 only to play games worse than a $500 console.
No one is buying $5k PCs.
Thank you Daemon
Bro get a Switch lol it has a GIGANTIC backlog of some of the best games of all time. It’s a no brained especially if you already have a PC
Scoop!
Jedi Survivor runs smoothly? Are we playing the same game?
yall know Nintendo has a lot of 2nd parties?
Also, Dead Island is not next gen only.
Oh weird I thought it was cuz when I got it on PS5, usually it would give me a prompt asking which version I want to install, but for Dead Island 2, it only showed ps5. My mistake!
👍
Scooooop!
SCOOP!
Mark is going to start speed running Video Game 20 questions.
Justin, from a lifelong WoW player, you need to at least try Dragonflight!

Nobody is allowed to say bad things about the last guardian. It was amazing.
Game No Scope... nicely jorb homestar
The CMA are going to end up making it worst for UK gamers damn.
Scoop!!!!
Its broken 🤨
Sony continues to buy game studios and pushes exclusives. How is that not horrible for consumers? Where are these agencies to stop that?

Really, it's likely that call of duty just wouldn't come to the UK? Yeesh talk about alarmist rhetoric
