We never thought that Sony games would be on PC did we. I’m sure if Sony could negotiate a deal witch Microsoft they could let it happen.
No, it's for other games as well.
I can see Jim Ryan being spiteful if Microsoft wins the deal. But under new leadership it maybe a new conversation.
The way things are just now I think a lot of people would be happy if MS fucked off.
I think the bolded is true if you only are going by what people on places like GAF and other turbo nerd forums are saying, but in my experience us turbo nerds don't really represent the mass opinion of the industry. People just want to play good games and will buy whatever box has them, or both if both has them, etc.
Ok but they have an ea service and also the service could be for exclusive Microsoft content.
If the deal goes through they will have Call of duty one of the biggest franchises on PlayStation
Gamepass for Microsoft published games I can see them allowing some day - there is no reason not to. That said, Microsoft would make way more money actually selling their games on Playstation than via Gamepass, so I'm not sure why they would even want to do that.
It's not spiteful, it's business one on one. They sell millions of games on their store and getting that sweet 30%. They can kiss it goodbye if GP will be available on Playstation
I see your point but it’s not really the same. EA is a partner and bring a lot to the table with FIFA and Madden. That gives them bargaining power. As long as Microsoft is a direct competitor in the console space they will not allow Game Pass on their platform. Phil has tried and failed already. Nintendo won’t even play ball with that. Either bring individual games to the platform as a third party or fuck off.
It wouldn’t be a store front though you would be subscribed to gamepass and be able to play your games on any platform.
The gamepass deal would be modified for exclusives and not third party. I think Sony shouldn’t be anti-gamer here and allow us the option.
It’s absolutely a storefront. You stream a game from Gamepass instead of getting it from PSN. You’d then buy all DLCs through Gamepass instead of PSN and Microsoft gets a cut of that purchase instead of Sony.
Yes that’s the only way I could see it.
Sony would love for Gamepass to be on Playstation. But it would have to be at Sony advantage. Microsoft naturally do not want to have Gamepass on Sony consoles if Sony makes more money than themselves with it. Like Epic wanted to escape Apple tax with Fortnite.
I think Microsoft does want gamepass on there and the only thing that’s stopping them is Sony. Microsoft has said that they want there games on every platform. Sony is playing hard to get because they don’t want a Microsoft service on their console.
i do agree. thought it was obvious i meant the "hardcore" gaming community. it's pathetic that anyone would want to see less competition just so their favourite billion $ company could make more money.
Well both play dirty, so they are a match made in heaven.
