No this is not news there were a lot of leaks that xbox was going to withhold games so it helps their case with activision. We all knew this already I guess not.
That’s why I asked about it but no one gave me an answer I never once saw an article stating that Microsoft’s promised to keep Bethesda games multiplatform.
That’s why I think the whole ftc lawsuit is a sham it’s just a political ploy so it seems they are tough on tech but I don’t see a path for them to win a lawsuit. You can’t protect the market leader that is not how it works. As for it being bad for consumers that is subjective sony needs competition they need to learn h...
@above the market share does not lie we aren’t talking about office or windows we are talking about Xbox and they are third behind tencent and Sony that’s a fact.
Who cares how much they are worth overall ms in the gaming market is a small player that’s a fact. They are hoping to be bigger with the activision purchase. We are going based on facts. People can’t say MS is a small or big player only when it suits their argument.
@shinoff how are they protecting consumers? How will this harm consumers? If that’s the case all companies need to be sued when buying companies because they make their games exclusive Sony has done it they don’t only buy studios who make games for PlayStation systems only they have bought studios who also make games for other systems and now don’t.
The truth of the matter they don’t have any legal standing in the judicial system. What is their argument Microsoft the smalle...
Did they ever promise to not keep Bethesda games off rival consoles? Genuine question I never heard of anything like it.
I truly believe they will win and it sucks for Sony because if they do win they have no obligation to keep it multiplatform at that point. But they still haven’t been sued it’s just a formality that they intend to sue. So ms still Can offer concessions in writing and make it legal as oppose to just their word I think that’s what the ftc is seeking a writ...
Do any of you know how to read? Or do you just read the headline and go with it.
He says that he trust Microsoft and doesn’t need anything in writing that their word is good enough because everytime they tell him they will do something they do it.
So he doesn’t want a contract even though Microsoft sent one to him. So unlike Sony who wants things in contract he doesn’t it’s just the type of guy he is. He doesn’t have any underlying intentions like Sony d...
How old are you 10? Do you not realize how business works I wonder how old the majority of you are here you act like little kids. Of course this is all a show to get this through I didn’t think it was necessary to point the obvious out but I guess it is.
All they care about is money Microsoft , Sony, and Nintendo. So if bringing call of duty to 100 million more people by bringing it to the switch they will do it in a heartbeat. It’s all about money business they don’t care ...
This would make it harder for Sony and anyone else to argue against this. This would give players multiple choices to choose from as far as console or pc to play from. They are really working overtime to get this deal through it’s smart to extend the deal to Nintendo and steam and bypass Sony.
Yeah it’s crazy numbers for Xbox it shows it’s still in high demand but availability and pricing affect it. Imagine if it actually had games coming out for it how it would sell. Microsoft is messing up big time they have an opportunity to pass PlayStation but they need games for a game console lol. Which is why they need activision.
As for switch Nintendo consoles are always beats.
@above all three companies do that buy developers that make games for other platforms and make them exclusive even nintendo does it with bayonets. Sony does that’s business stop acting like little kids. All console makers buy developers get over it but when MS does it’s a crime. They all do timed exclusives all your arguments fail when checked with reality.
Yeah but he’s right I don’t see why they would sue only to lose. Usually they protect the small players but like the article states this would be unprecedented for regulators for the first time ever to protect the market leader.
Which is why I see them losing Sony is the market leader they will be fine. MS needs this they barely have any games as is. People complaint about them having no games but when they do they complaint they will have too many. It makes no difference ...
Yeah I really don’t get the whole buying games at $70 now arguments owned vs not owned. It’s just dumb game pass is an amazing value people just like to fight new technology always. Even if they raised the prices of game pass it would still be a better value.
I couldn’t imagine paying $70 for a game that I might not even like or never will play again more than twice at best. Just for it to collect dust.
It seems to be suffering issues on all platforms.
Lol You clearly don’t have game pass there are so many great games available for it.
I agree with this the scope of the games they are unbeatable in that regard what they attempt to do with their games. except rockstar but they at least before the MS purchase didn’t have the resources that rockstar had.
So we will see how this comes out. It looks very promising. you can always tell that a game looks amazing and promising by how many people hate on it.
For real I think that’s every developers wish that development didn’t take so long. But you can’t please everyone people will get mad if you announce a game too early and they will get mad if you do announce it to begin with.
People on the internet just like to hate on things for no reason knowing they could just simply ignore something they don’t like but it says much more about their own lives.
Damm If you’re really that bothered by Bethesda then Simply don’t buy their games lol some of you guys act like kids sometimes . Yet here you are in a Bethesda article.
I don’t think so for some reason the title mascot is always given to “platformers” characters like Mario in particular when it comes to games.
Miscrosoft tried d to make master chief it’s mascot but it never really stuck because those characters appeal to a small percentage of gamers.
Lol why is it when Xbox sales are reported people want proof but something PlayStation related as far as sales like god of war and all you see in the comments section congratulations.
This is very surprising news considering the PlayStation has been in stock for a while now and everyone was saying this is where it takes off and leaves Xbox behind. But good to see the Xbox is giving it competition.
That’s not true insomniac made games for Xbox as well look it up. Housemarque did as well Guerrilla games as well. The list goes on.
They payed for final fantasy to be exclusive even though it was a Nintendo franchise and was also on Xbox. How is that fair to take away a game that was multi platform. Sony fans act blind. Don’t be hypocrites if Sony can do it so Can Nintendo and Microsoft. The deal should go through it’s called competition. Sony can’t stop others from succ...
