3rd party exclusives are not at all equal to buying a whole fucking publisher. Every company that has been in this industry over the last 30 plus years has had them, including Microsoft. If you honestly believe them to be equivalent, then you're beyond help.
You are right. i just saw my mistake.
Well to be fair so did Amazon.
because is not really about that.
Legit had no idea that existed just assumed the chrome book can’t play games other than some android ones lol. That url doesn’t work but I’m a take your word for it.
Sure, buuuuuuut.......Lulu when her female employees are being sexual harassed, to the point of depression and one commits suicide:
Lulu when Activision is forced to pay millions in damages for running a heinous and oppressive workplace culture:
Lulu when a journalist misquotes her:
Indiana Jones is most likely multiplatform and I think Zenimax Online Studio is working on a new IP, which you would assume would follow the online model of being multi.
naughty boySure, buuuuuuut.......
Thank you for the opportunity to repost this image. I can only bite my bottom lip so much!

Edit: I just googled Minecraft education edition and you’re straight lied bro wth lmao. I forgot they still even did that Minecraft edu stuff, regardless that version is literally not Minecraft. Since I have to be literal ill, we are talking MINECRAFT BEDROCK EDITION.

You guys look ridiculous every single time you guys bring up Psygonois.
Makes me laugh everytime. People believe in Spider Man more than Microsoft.
2009 was 14yrs ago. If some publisher could have made a game to compete with COD they would have already. they've had more than 10years.
When people say Sony should make their own COD it always shows me how ignorant they are to the game. COD has 9 studios working on it and has much more content than it’s competitors. To be able to drop a yearly game every Q4 without missing a beat apart from Black Ops 4 SP is impressive. Most competitors have one game that has a longer life span vs COD. Look at Battlefield for comparison.
Brilliant idea! MS should just divest Activision and COD and close the acquisition today. Activision, being an independent company, will continue releasing COD on Xbox.
Its not about making a new CoD, its about Sony making a online game they can depend on instead of just CoD. Which they seem to be heading in that direction anyway.
Was Halo or Gears not competing with CoD? They certainly had their moments of multiplayer success.
You're saying they can replace COD which is essentially the same thing.
How well do you honestly think these went considering what happened to 343i and their latest Halo infinite (7yrs since 5) and TLOU2 concentrating on singleplayer and still not having a new TLOU multiplayer game since 2013, exactly 10yrs.
It just seems like Sony is just expected to take on a ton of risk that Microsoft won't have to. Not exactly sure that is in the spirit of competition.
Yep, pretty much. Leveling the playing field by damaging the competitor, instead of investing within and improving one's own offerings.
This makes no sense, because they are both in the free market. Its a equal playing field. Just because Microsoft has more money doesn't mean it shouldn't be able to leverage it for bigger deals.
This acquisition war is not something Sony can compete with. There really is not an end to how many companies MS can buy out. And with each acquisition, it becomes harder for a new company to enter the market. This is contrary to the idea of a competitive market.
You do understand that saying to Microsoft to just invest within, improver their own offerings, and grow organically is ridiculous when your competitor is so far ahead?
You are missing the /s at the end because someone might think you actually mean this.
how are the competitors so ahead of microsoft and xbox? the xbox division has more revenue than nintendo, it is not far from playstation, they currently have more development studios and employees than playstation and nintendo, in services they are growing and in the cloud they are practically unrivaled after the death of stadia. only if you look at the mobile market could you say that they are behind, maybe, but it must also be said that so far they have practically never tried
Sony has 50% more in revenue compared to the Xbox division. I wouldn't call that slightly ahead. Not to mention they have 100% more console sales. And I think the biggest issue is that last one, console sales. They can release their software on multiple platforms, but Sony also starts doing this now. Probably because they finally noticed how lucrative this actually is. So I can imagine that software sales might decrease for Microsoft if there are more games from Sony coming to PC.
Xbox has a 40:60 console market share in the UK and a 70% share in the cloud gaming market. They have more money, studios, and developers than PlayStation.
i do since a year now
Maybe Xbox should focus on other countries than the US and UK and work on other language localisation to become a global brand. They have more studios than PlayStation and bought a publisher in Zenimax. Should Microsoft be able to stock pile EA and Take 2 next because they are behind in console sales? Microsoft competed in the 360 gen vs PS3 but then decided to throw it all away in one console reveal.
So? So Microsoft should compete only on the level that Sony can compete? Maybe Microsoft should wait (till the end of time) for Sony to become a trillion dollar company (won't happen) before competing fairly? That's not how the competition works.
There is no reason to think that Microsoft cannot buy TikTok with ABK. Nothing prevents that.
The FTC will block that deal right away. No one is acquiring TikTok. It is more likely to be completely banned in the US and Canada than this happening.
