...hey squad, over the last few weeks and probably months I feel I've slipped into a more negative place on this forum and I it's something I regret considerably and have pondered on quite a lot.
I realised, thank god i was thread banned from the ABK thread. Honestly, I appreciate it mods. It's not that I want the acquisition to go through. I honestly, from the bottom of my heart couldn't care. I do feel MS have enough studios under their belt to offer great content, and that's what they should be doing instead of just buying everyone.
I realised I am not emotionally invested, I realised I am just tired of the constant back and forth about these business and treating it personally and who lied and what was said etc when really these are businesses who are going to business. It doesn't matter what words aresaid , actions matter and MS is buying up publishers and securing exclusive content to strengthen their business just like Sony are securing exclusives and buying developers to strengthen their business.
OK, waffle over...I wanted to try and keep it short.
So, what would it take for us all to finally move on and accept this is shit? To try and reduce the tension and go back to having fun little bickering about our preferred platforms but ultimately accepting that we all just like playing great games.
I own all platforms and always will.
My suggestion.
From what I have seen on here, I admit that Phil lied, it looks very much like he made a statement saying he would not restrict games from players with the Bethesda acquisition and they did exactly that with every new title announced since the purchase. Forcing PlayStation players to have to sign up to game pass, buy a pc or purchase an xbox to play those games.
So, Phil lied to my knowledge.
I admit this whole heartedly with no issue to say it at all. Would it help the playstation leaning fans on here to have all the xbox owners or players say that? Could we move on in some form if that is said?
Also, I'd just like to add...I genuinely think exclusives suck no matter who is doing them. I admit that Microsoft secures exclusive content just like Sony does, they go out and secure games for game pass and many of those are timed exclusives, tunic, stalker 2 etc.
Would it help for us all to admit that MS do that and then can we move on in some form?
Without silly warring, are there honest suggestions that if we can all just say. Yep, this happens...and it sucks...MS did/does it...no defence....
If we all just accept this can we move on instead on the constant psychotic round and round in circles? Looking at my actions over the last few weeks and months it is this that has turned me almost loopy lol
It's becuase this forum is a great thing for me, I check it a lot and like to be apart of the community but I feel the way the industry has been and Microsofts desire to purchase large publishers has turned us all a little crazy....
I also, expect light hearted memes and mum jokes and insults to me...so go ahead you plebs!
Hope this thread is OK, mods? Just trying to inspire some positive growth...perhaps?
My intention for this thread is that, if this was a thread that people admitted these points could we then just all accept...yup....that was said...this is that...etc...all move on?
