All this talk about monopoly and anti-consumerism, yet it's Sony raising prices to 70 bucks, asking another 10 for simple upgrades/patches, removing games from PSN so they can sell Director's Cut for more. And don't get me started on Nintendo's price gouging for 20 year old remasters, barely functional (but still expensive) online, or creating a digital scarcity with Mario 3D All Stars.
Maybe we should wait and see how gaming landscape actually change under the MS' supposed "monopoly" instead of projecting this pessimistic narrative with lots of ifs and maybes.
My only hope is that they let Acti studios do something more than Call of Duty. Give me another Tony Hawk, Crash, Spyro, Starcraft etc.
