Yes but that is only if the service allows you to stream games that you bought else where. There are plenty of devs/publishers who disallow it and if a company wants to pay them for exclusivity they will certianly stop boosteroid from streaming say steam games they make

Holy f*ck and people have been using him as a credible source of opinion 
Yep. Opinion. A fanboy troll's opinion.
Nothing even worth posting. Thats the extend of how a personality "image" alone is convincing enough when there is so much need to find a "source" to support a biased view.

And he is ranting against Idas on twitter calling him an agent of CMA. And he blocked Tom Warren after he told him what he said about a member of CMA is not important. The guy is just a troll.
EDIT:
EDIT2:
He is a meme on Internet
MOD: Removed massive clown image. Really?

You and I both agreed sometime back ago his injection of his opinion into the reporting was getting too much for us.
Regardless if any of the above is true or not; I think our earlier thought still stands. He’s no longer a useful source of information.
Indeed.
They verified that is WAS Florian from my understanding.
Are we doing (oversized) memes and animated gifs on B3D now? Along with screenshots of conversations in other forums about people we like/don't like?
Totally get if everyone wants to move B3D on from its old-fashioned ideas of discussing intelligently with Words and datapoints into the modern, fast-paced era of internet crap-talking and talking far more who's posting on the internet than ideas. Wouldn't want gaming to get left behind Reality TV.
Chris1515's last two posts make me want to puke. If everyone else is okay with that, there's nothing for me to moderate.

Right. But why is that a banable offense? He might be a troll, but I've been to neogaf. I've seen the troll citadel.
So, how do you fairly call out a bad source without actual evidence of said bad source? Maybe a simple link to other sites where source is being questioned? I mean, the amount of astroturfing/shilling is getting out of hand with this particular acquisition. Honestly, I think it's mostly a proxy war at this point and time between fanboy camps on egging on the everlasting console wars.
I think he may have went a little too far, especially for someone who's supposed to be a specialist in patent laws and foreign corporate matters.
As I mentioned in a prior post, I think Microsoft's arguments are fairly weak in comparison to other appeals that I have seen in other corporate cases, not necessarily dealing with acquisitions, but dealing with governmental regulations and disapprovals.
Anyhow, here is an opinion piece echoing some on my sentiments on the matter.

Opinion: Some of Microsoft's merger appeal arguments aren't very strong
Some of the arguments that Microsoft presents in its appeal to overturn the Competition and Markets Authority's merger block decision aren't very strong.

In the past and current we dont. Even biased sources can contain real information if you look pass the added opinion.
Florian’s reporting is still useful, his opinion is biased. That doesn’t mean we 100 throw away everything he’s tweeted.
Yes. Or a well presented, meaningful image showing outcomes without shit-flinging. What is the purpose of this image?
Isn't that summed up by simply adding to the original news "Florian mueller was exposed as Solokingxrobert across social media, a very vocal anti-Sony troll". Insert two links to sources without big spammy images, or a couple of cropped images for evidence...
Florian mueller was exposed as Solokingxrobert across social media, a very vocal anti-Sony troll. eg from Reddit at Christmas.
We can identify a bad source through a higher quality of discourse and presentation.
Better yet, we can stop using random Twitter sources as anything other than an opinion. Recently we had 'Twitter Sources' saying PSVR2 wasn't selling well, only to learn from real sources that its selling notably better than PSVR. Unless there's clear reason to trust an external source as reputable, it probably shouldn't be posted. If it's an opinion you share, express it yourself in your own words without referring some who-knows-what-in-reality internet personality to say it for you. If it's from someone with insider info, still don't take it as gospel but remember, as per the old FAQ, they can be just as biased as the most partisan console fanboy, even if they have a very professional position at the head of a big studio or whatever.
That thread over there is toxic. It's just a dog pile onto anyone who is remotely positive of the merger. While they could be right, I wouldn't trust them until there is a 100% evidence

The article you posted say that some not all. So there is obviously some stuff that is stronger than other claims. The thing is you use all your arguments no matter the strength when you go up for appeal.
Also where is activisions appeal ? Do they not get to do it
