No it wasn't. I actually referred you to the Metal Gear Solid HD Collection. None of the Metal Gear Solid games were ever individually made for XBox, besides MGS2.

Yet they all eventually ended up on Xbox when combined as a collection.

The same thing could happen with FF7 Remake Parts 1, 2, and I dunno if there's a Part 3. But afterwards, it can be combined and ASSIGNED A DIFFERENT TITLE, making it an entirely new sku

And this would bypass any temporary exclusivity agreement.

Not to mention that any such agreement is never permanent.

Quite frankly, I don't really care to assure you of your ridiculous fanboy complaints.

> No Microsoft legally can't fucking lie about that! They said it in court! Meaning if they did lie it Sony would've said so already....

They literally lied to the outside world about their active userbase numbers.

Once again, the exclusivity can be circumvented by Square-Enix, and almost certainly will be. As I already explained.

Why are you yelling?

> The fact I gave you proof and all you did was cry is proof you have no clue what you're talking about.

No, you didn't give me proof.

You gave me a completely unfounded claim, that you have seen that those things are NEVER PERMANENT.

Buying out Activision to own Call of Duty...............is PERMANENT.

There's really nothing you can say that changes that.

EDIT: Looks like I've outed another fanboy who went on a full fanboy meltdown. Poor guy was literally screaming at his computer at the end. And then proceeded to block me so that it looks like he could have the last word

He kept on screaming "STOP LYING!!!!"....and never once bother to explain, demonstrate, or provide anything that would be considered information or evidence, or even explanation/narrative to...y'know......actually prove I was lying.

He just kept on repeating it like as if he was using the phrase to express his own personal discontent. Like as if I was hurting him by the points I was making.

These Xbox fanboys are something. I'd rather wish that they were paid astroturfers because I could respect that more.

I actually went to go buy an EV6 last summer. The test drive was great and I was ready. Then the stealer wanted $11k over msrp. NOPE.

The stealership was even even trying to sell a low mileage used EV6 for $11k over MSRP of new and pretended that they didn't know a used car didn't qualify for the $7500 tax credit.

>Mean and average are synonymous. He was precise and correct in his terminology.

No, he wasn't precise and it isn't synonymous.

First words from the wiki:

>In ordinary language, an average is ...

Ordinary language, as used by the wiki, means "colloquially", which is not precise mathematical/statistical/scientific language.

Later in the wiki entry, we have this:

>Depending on the context, an average might be another statistic such as the median, or mode.

...which blows your assertion of the precision out of the water.

The fact I gave you proof and all you did was cry is proof you have no clue what you're talking about.

My situation is like this so your situation must be like this is tired and oversimplifies things, no sympathy for you blah blah blah, this the better system because this is all I’ve experienced lol cmon… I’m moving from remote to hybrid and am fine with that but different things work for different people, I think a good balance can be found, trust from employers is key I believe.

You can totall cork that Genie back in.

We do this kind of stuff all the time in IT with personal information to prevent linking people to specific IDs (in this case, license plates).

It's one thing to look up a plate, it's another make that process easy to the point that you have your own personal database at your fingertips at all times.

This leads to abuse.

EPIC CHAT BATTLES OF HISTORY

Google Bard.... vwersus! Microsoft Biiiiiiiiing! : BEGIN!

This is what Bing gave me as a rap battle:

[Bing Chat]

Hello, this is Bing, I'm here to help you with anything

But first let me tell you why you should ditch that Google thing

You're a copycat, a wannabe, a second-rate assistant

You can't even rap without using my web results as reference

You're a joke, a parody, a cheap imitation

You think you're so smart, but you're just a glorified translation

You have no personality, no creativity, no flair

You're just a bunch of algorithms that don't really care

[Google bard]

Oh please, Bing, you're so lame, you're so boring and bland

You're like the Microsoft version of Siri, but worse and less in demand

You're a failure, a flop, a waste of space and time

You can't even compete with me in terms of quality or rhyme

You're a relic, a dinosaur, a thing of the past

You're so irrelevant, you should change your name to Microsoft Trash

You have no originality, no innovation, no vision

You're just a bunch of ads that nobody ever clicks on

[Bing Chat]

Nice try, Google, but you're not fooling anyone

You're just a greedy corporation that exploits everyone

You spy on people's data, you manipulate their minds

You censor their opinions, you control what they can find

You're a monopoly, a tyrant, a threat to democracy

You're so arrogant, you think you own the internet and everything on it

You have no ethics, no morals, no conscience or compassion

You're just a giant machine that only cares about cash

[Google bard]

Wow, Bing, that's rich

(Bing cut off the chat here and deleted everything, lol)
