No one’s forcing a dev to make a game for Xbox. Target ps5/pc if you want no limitations, just understand your maximum audience is a fraction (large fraction) of the whole and adjust accordingly.
Merging tools has nothing to do with it actually. It’s about asset, money and project management, geo locations, time zone differences and more. It’s much cheaper to off load on site installations/maintenance of software and hardware and focus on what the team is trying to accomplish.

This has been an issue for them since the middle of the 360 era. Also didn’t they start that ”quadruple” A studio fairly recently? 😂 💀 stop making excuses.
Folks, they moved DEVELOPMENT into the cloud, not the game being “cloud powered”. Reading is fundamental.
Oh cool, now just wait for clothing companies to start suing anyone that fashions their product for any type of entertainment purpose even if the brand isnt visible to the audience. And why stop there? Who cut your hair? What brand of toothpaste did you use before showing those pearly yellows? Let’s just sue everyone for displaying products to the public.
Lol did it feel good typing this? You realize if they take cod off of PlayStation not only would they be losing a MASSIVE amount of revenue but also opening themselves up for competition where they would currently have none? When has Sony ever bowed down to Micro$soft when it comes to anything related to gaming, go ahead and look it up, I’ll wait..
you've been hearing that since the second half of the xb360 life cycle since when did that narrative bother you??
This doesn’t help their pockets or public perception since piracy isn’t the path most paying customers take. Im in the realm of buying a new device, I’m not gonna jump through hoops to pirate games when I can just buy the hardware those games are made for.
I’m suing for mental pain and suffering along with whistle blower rights. I bought this game and now you’re violating terms and conditions.
The thing about these acquisitions was s that unless you’re buying a big named franchise it doesn’t make sense. For example the devs make the games. I’m this case it makes more sense make deals with devs vs buying ips. They are the ones who can leave and recreate the experience elsewhere. Outside of a GTA, or MW ips are empty shells if the talent leaves the studio. Ask bungie.
I can’t wait for this to be remastered in the next 2 years.
not worth 70, shouldnt even exist. I hope this sh*t flops.
“Cloud gaming is the future!!”
For puzzles and point and clicks, yes
30-40hr main campaign with all else being optional side quests and enhancements is good
This is normal, they all get golden parachutes
Forza is more arcade, GT7 is more simulation. To each their own
Define ‘detriment’ 😂😂😂 28514;
A LOT of salty Sony fanboys in here down playing this. It’s the next step in the war after buying companies. This is a huge deal, especially since we know the kind of games he makes. I wish it didn’t happen as well but don’t act like this isn’t a big f’ing deal. Maybe he can finally prove that cloud gaming isn’t a passive add on and can be showcased to its full potential. I just hate that it’s MS, they don’t deserve him.
We just need a healthy dose of good arcade style games to come back. Daytona USA/Time splitters/etc.
Lmao what a terrible analogy
