Spending Sony Out of Business (But Not Like That) - Delayed Input with Kyle Bosman

Definite contender for Best Honk.

10/10 Honk placement for sure.

"They are, in fact, 'Just Dancing'." *cue applause*

[@IvanTheHiro]

That ending is almost too perfect.

[@MyriadofNeglect]

The punchline of the whole Just Dance event failing and resorting to mimicking had me rolling. "They are in fact... Just dancing" I had a good belly laugh at that end.

[@MakoMusicYT]

At the start of the sentence I knew it was coming. Great setup and delivery xD

The Just Dance Olympic Tournament update is the kind of hard hitting journalism that this channel needs Godspeed Bossman

[@rudeboyspodcast]

New favorite ending bit. Holy shit the last minute had me rolling

[@prtank]

It's amazing because I didn't see any headlines about this and OF COURSE Kyle is the one to fill us in on it lol

[@tomato3456]

That Olympic eSports footage was the most painful thing I've ever seen, thank you Kyle.

[@AntiNihilist]

Still actually less embarrassing than E3 stage footage of any Just Dance announcement

[@Larweigan]

I was squirming.

[@cosmosofinfinity]

I don't know why it isn't just a dance competition and why exactly it needs the Just Dance branding and hinging their whole operation on terrible Switch tech

[@SakuraAvalon]

@@cosmosofinfinity Cause it's their half assed compromise to bring video games into the Olympics.

[@DerUserX]

The Just Dance segment is the best thing I've seen in a long time. Especially the ending is perfection.

[@quagthias]

Kyle putting in the work to watch these "Olympic eSports" and to read these emails so we don't have to, is much appreciated.

[@imeanleafeon]

the entire end bit about the Just Dance Olympic Quarterfinals is just fucking insane lmao

[@DonCactuar]

Screenwriters, narrative teams, content creators, player investment people, take note. This is the 100/100 ending example. JUST perfect. *bows down*

[@tracefetherman]

This may have been the best car horn yet. Kyle, after watching this episode, and especially the bonus bit. Ive come to realize the tremendous amount of work you put into these episodes. Being able to think of a funny/entertaining subject quickly, do research, write funny jokes, write an entire episode, film and edit it, all solo. You are truly a talented dude. Ive been around since you started at GT, and Ill be around for as long as you keep going. Thanks man.

[@frumiousgaming]

Does he put a car horn in every video?

[@JakeMonkeyzz]

Kyle, I think this is one of your strongest episodes yet. The main story and bonus bit were perfectly written and executed. Knowing the internet I'm sure that engagement will be lower than your spicier takes, but it deserves just as much attention as your highest viewed episodes.

[@Jabrils]

"They are, in fact, just dancing" what an amazing payoff lmao

[@beebomcgroober9316]

I think these companies buying up studios are finding out it isn't about the IP, it's about the talent. And buying the studio is no guarantee that the talent will stick around. In fact they usually don't. Professional sports have long since figured this out. They bend over backwards to keep certain talented players on their team, and yet when the creative talent behind a game studio is frustrated and threatens to leave they are met with a shrug and are shown the door.

[@rikimarizard]

The biggest difference between the way Microsoft/Embracer purchase studios vs how Sony/Nintendo do it is the former go after IP whilst the latter go after talent.

[@KevinCow]

You'd think Microsoft especially would've figured this out when one of the first things they did in the gaming space was spend $375 million to buy Rare for their IP, and then that IP went on to do basically nothing for them, especially after all the talent ditched the company due to the horrible mismanagement.

[@Galero15]

@@KevinCow Yes, because the Microsoft from like 20 years ago is the same it is now. Same organisation. If you have a hard on for Xbox or MS in particular just own that. Also what IP did MS buy Rare for that were commercially relevant at the time?

[@KevinCow]

​@@Galero15 I'm not sure what makes you think I have a hard on for Xbox. I barely touched my Xbone, and the XSX is the only major console in like 20 years I don't have. I know it's not the same people, but I think it's pretty reasonable to expect a guy getting paid like 8 gajillion dollars to run a company to know the history of that company, at the very least to avoid repeating past mistakes. Especially when that history includes one of the most disastrous acquisitions in gaming history.

[@IvailoNachev-xc3zu]

The thing people don't think about is how many AAA games MS can fund with the money they would throw at a dysfunctional companies like Activision and Blizzard when they have insane amount of their own IPs they can use. MS can be a pain for both Nintendo and Sony combined if they actually tried. Imagine Sony competing with Xbox that has a good game after good game and Nintendo having to compete with same company that ports these games to their handheld hybrid console. I will say that I'm neither fan of Sony, MS or Nintendo but it is apparent that they are not competing at their fullest.

[@OmahaGTP]

I can imagine someone sitting on their deathbed seeing Just Dance and Olympics in the same sentence and wishing they’d died sooner.

[@1xploder1]

With E3 gone, the Just Dance eSports team have taken on the mantle of on-stage cringe performances. And i'm all for it. Need more updates Bosman!

[@DunnCarnage]

Incredible punchline, 10/10

[@devinhill9514]

The energy is UNRIVALED!

[@HackerAtesh]

Holy shit at the honk this episode, I legitimately thought it was a perfectly timed one from outside in the real world lmao

[@BasementMinions]

That just dance event hurt my soul

[@alepizzetti]

Ok THIS might be my favorite episode of Delayed Input so far

[@twodotso]

I really wonder how many people actually realize the insane quality of production at work here. The research, the writing, the nuanced and apt editing, the delivery. All done by 1 person in a span of a few days/hours. Kyle, you're extremely talented!

[@thecapital-m2983]

It is a job requirement to write emails like a supervillain if you want to work at Microsoft

[@ZombaXIII]

Masterful honk work in this one. Had to check like 4 or 5 times to confirm it was the video and not outside the window to my left.

[@xabbott]

That ending was perfect.

[@ben-tendo]

It’s amused me the entire time this court scenario has occurred, that all we heard was MS Sony, MS Sony, MS Sony… and all I could think is “so Nintendo aren’t a thing yeah? Despite being the one company so signed on MS’ dotted line for CoD for ten years?” They’re always counted out, they’re always mocked, but in the end, they win…

[@Dyno_98]

Nintendo was mentioned a lot during the FTC trials, it's only that they didn't submit any documents because they were favourable to the acquisition, so nothing leaked. Also it only had one testimony. Those two things are what get the biggest headliners.

[@DogginsFroggins]

We know this is realistic because corporate emails don't want some of the money THEY WANT ALL THE MONEY. Incremental increase, lol, SPEND THE COMPETITION OUT OF BUSINESS.

[@cyberrb25]

Every company wants to have a captive market. Because a captive market can't demand for better conditions for themselves (a.k.a., worse conditions for the company).

Thanks for the Just Dance Olympics update Kyle. Also I'm impressed how well the honk noice was blended with the background noise there.

[@FrustratedJacob]

12:58 "However, there were issues." *gasp* Say it ain't so, Kyle! The integrity of the Just Dance eSport Olympics event, undermined???

[@geneticjen9312]

Omg that very last line hit me way harder than it had any right to

[@kimanthonyanitan]

Hmmm.. "How can Disney be the Nintendo of Cinema"? You are the best, Kyle!

[@DOSkywalkR]

"they are, in fact, just dancing" - you Kyle have a gift! 😁Already loved Final Bosman back then, but your humor got so refined, even though at EZA you took a long break from it.

[@timytimeerased]

Man the just dance esport had me in tears. 😂

[@KyubIchigo2]

"They are in fact just dancing" I honestly didn't see that coming

[@galileopotato167]

Yo that segment with the dancing at the end had me so embarrassed for everyone involved. I wanted to curl into a ball and disappear. My god

[@Clesstan]

That ending is one of the best punchlines Kyle ever wrote.

[@HPRshredder]

I still come back to this episode. The Disney bit -- perfectly delivered. The Just Dance bit is impeccable.

[@MannequinSmiles]

[@SeaToSkyImages]

I never thought I'd be this heavily invested in the train wreck that it the Just Dance E-Sport Olympics, but here we are.

[@GrayHairedGamer]

It's giving me slight anxiety realizing what was and wasn't out in 2019, which feels like it was just yesterday...

[@obchamp]

[@IFinishedAVideoGame]

I'm so pleased there was an Olympic esport update. The pay off from last week hit just right

[@ftbfelix]

“They are in fact… Just dancing” this is some of your best work Kyle!

[@chaldea_]

"They are, in fact, JUST DANCING"

[@autex2609]

It's funny. I kept seeing "bomb shell" articles, reading them and just going "hmm". Nothing was shocking to me. Maybe I'm not understanding the implications? It's just a massive company doing massive company things.. and now we get to dig in to emails. oooo. The only thing shocking is how benign they are.

[@stealthyfrog9581]

no doubt Sony has some emails about wanting to kill Xbox and Nintendo that will be unearthed when they try to acquire Square enix or somethin

[@kingofthesharks]

The real life equivalent of NPCs should be called "Grey shirts"

[@tertaros]

That final line, was poetic.

[@GaryJamesEUP]

“This is” is my favorite bit and one of the reasons I keep coming back.

[@EHeroClayman]

This season's Delayed Input has our boy Kyle as either a store manager who much in their 2 weeks notice or person who came back from an European vacation with a new name. On the real, I'm digging the turtleneck and why Microsoft is still concerned about Sony. Just do your thing and folks will gravitate to it if it's good.

[@AlabastreAizo]

Absolutely incredible ending. Bravo, Kyle.

[@Chandlest]

That's the gold standard for how you end a video

[@chazmaru9583]

Around 5.2% percent of men experience some form of Preliminary Injunction but there is great medicine nowadays, talk to your doctor.

[@Justin_Anime]

They thought they could get away w/ this. They truly.. truly.. did. Little did they know, that Kyle Bosman was 1 of the 3 people who actually watched until the end...

[@SpoonyOrbit]

PlayStation and Nintendo are iconic. I can't imagine a world where they don't exist.

[@SIXminWHISTLE]

This is the best honk so far.

[@Bryan154]

It's funny that they tried to play that email off like it was a 2019 strategy while trying to buy the biggest 3rd party publisher in the world after having just bought another big 3rd party publisher. They stopped going after single studios and a handful of IP. Neither Sony nor Nintendo have bought entire publishers with multiple studios before. It is something only Microsoft has the money to do, especially with this deal. It's clear as day that it's still their plan as they do try and acquire the biggest IPs like Disney. I'm surprised it took them near 20 years to open up their wallets to do so. I'm hoping the injunction is granted to show that they can't just buy their way past the competition. Allowing them to acquire ABK sets a precedent for future purchases to be allowed so MS could go after EA, Ubisoft, Take Two, and any other major publisher if they wanted and be given little resistance from buying them. They are the only one of the big 3 with the money to do so. Also, that Just Dance esports competition was just brutal. I couldn't imagine watching that live, let alone being in the crowd as they changed the rules midway. Just OOF!

[@ExisCrisis]

Anyone with even a little bit of corporate work experience also knows that a strategy is not set for a year but often set for many years, eg. 'in 5 years we want to go from x to y' or 'in 10 years we want our income revenue from this part of the company to be z'. Of course strategies can be changed or reviewed but it's hilarious to only suggest that it's no longer relevant because it was an email from 2019.

[@adribier]

That sneaky honk, my god 🤣 I had to replay it because I wasn't sure if it was coming from the street or what.

[@WaddleDee105]

"They are Just Dancing" *HOLY* *SHIT*

[@GZeta789]

Omg that joke at the end. Incredible. Every week Kyle outdoes himself, again and again.

[@JoshRoweice]

Brilliant episode. The fact that Microsoft is being sued for wanting to he "the Disney of gaming", with the perfect final ironic line of "Disney is asking itself how can we be the Nintendo of cinema".

[@kevinpadilla8825]

The just dance part was just perfect man. Thank you.
