FTC case, the place in an electronic mail chain Spencer admits that although he’s in opposition to placing Microsoft titles like Minecraft on PlayStation providers, as he thought of PS Now a competitor to Xbox Sport Cross, he doesn’t have the identical reservation with Fallout 76.

“I don’t know why I really feel totally different about F76 so open to dialog right here. In my opinion F76 is on this attention-grabbing place. Clearly began tough. Crew stays centered on enhancing and discovering bigger viewers. Appears like we both must see this factor attending to 10M MAU throughout all platforms or determine to maneuver on from it and if you happen to consider PSNow can assist it gaining relevance then I’m supportive.”
