So the CEO of Microsoft obviously has no idea about the difference between gaming and gambling. Fair enough, nobody has to care about every possible hobby. But it is a bit wild that they just took that quote and ran with it and nobody said "Hey, is it ok to slightly edit it so it is less obvious you don't know jack shit about this topic?".
Uh, I'ma go ahead and assume "gamecensor" isn't a legit source and we should probably be reading articles written by actually reputable organizations reporting on this merger, because there's no way that line is real and also the punctuation is so incoherent in TFA I can't tell who supposedly said it.
Seems like it's for real.
No mention of gambling. That quote seems to have been made up by GamesCensor, and is what Pxtl was talking about
Maybe the CEO skimmed some headlines about lootboxes being considered gambling. Now he thinks Call of Duty is a casino game.
I don't know if I'm just being dumb and missing a joke here, but the statement doesn't say gambling.
I thought the same but I looked again and it's in there lol, about 9th or 10th paragraph from the bottom of the article (before the "more shit you might like" section).
It doesn't even seem like it was even taken out of context from the article lol.
"We ju$t care $o much about connecting all the gamer$$$ around the world." - giant soulless corporation
The article seems to have misquoted his tweet that doesn't mention anything about gambling.
That's not a misquote. That's just a lie
Ohhh I gotcha, I stand corrected - especially because I'm not willing to look for the tweet myself lol
this is actually hilarious that that's part of the statement, lmao
just awful, all around
It's not, either the author of this article misread something or made it up entirely
