And just like the Bethesda buy up the only people that benefit are the already wealthy CEOs and shareholders, workers and gamers get the middle finger.
Poor giov, confusing single games to entire multiplatform publishers and then talks about moving goal posts. Its amazing the swill you fanboys gulp down to defend MS activity hurting the industry he cares about... Also if you look at my comment history you'll see I don't game on console, some gamers like myself care more about a healthy industry
You think MS when it has total control of a huge percentage of the biggest IP's and publisher's in gaming are going to allow others to play? Giant companies like MS do this all the time, take the initial loss and make the industry uncompetitive for competition. Naive mate to take a tax dodging mega corp at its word... especially when you look at every other industry this has happened to.
Hey my little stalker is back, still have no clue what a publisher is I see!
Try again kid.
"COD would make MS more money being multiplat then it ever would as an xbox exclusive." really!!
So if it's only about revenue when can we expect Bethesda games to be released on Bethesda's biggest revenue generator in the console market?
Only the simplest of idiots would believe that, you've banned Bethesda from releasing games on it's most profitable console platform... close your legs MS your breath stinks.
4show, don't get too high from huffing MS gas, take those lips off of Phils behind.
"do as I say not as I do". Name one multiplatform publisher any other platform has banned from releasing games on competing systems like MS has?
"you ps loyalists don't get to decide whats right, so just hug your ps, its gonna be OK bro." And what are us PC loyalists meant to hug when MS starts removing games from platforms such as Steam, GOG, E...
"Would it be better if only Sony continues to block games games from other platforms" Is this the only option?... it seems like really dumb reasoning.
Single games and spending a combined $80 billion to ban entire multiplatform publishers from competition are not the same thing.
Can this scum sucking tax dodging tech giant just **** off, MS is the biggest cancer in this industry and for some reason wants to punish gamers for MS's failure to make an attractive console or hardly making games for the last 10 years. Their entire plan is to remove multiplatform publishers and shrink the libraries of competition, how does this POS move benefit anyone but MS CEO's and shareholders?
Allowing MS to buy up and ban competition from a huge percentage of the mul...
ok weird creepy stalker that has followed this comment for almost two days, a publisher that had three revenue streams now only has one full paying platform and a share of a subscription service and has lost it's biggest console market. Your spectacular lack of understanding of business seems to think that because they are owned by MS that an underperforming or lowest profit margin division will be fine... just a little heads up MS has already fired Xbox and Bethesda staff because of Azur...
Wow, someone has no clue how business works, go stalk someone else kid or I'll hand your ass to you again.
Well yeah, Sonys platform was their biggest money maker in the console industry. MS has banned Bethesda's games from one of it's biggest revenue streams.
Yes we do all know, but why are they in last place out of all the major platforms? Could it be because they stopped making games around the mid 360 era and just let the Xbox tick along until everyone outside of the US forgot it existed?
Now as some sort of punishment to gamers MS is spending a combined 80 billion on games they where already getting just to remove multiplatform publishers from competition and have control some of the biggest IP's in the industry... has ...
A regurgitation of fanboy buzzwords with no understanding, context or meaning.
It's odd, Sony get a media drubbing for having a exclusive character in a multiplatform Marvel game but MS get nothing but endless praise for the biggest anti-gamer move in gaming history for buying and banning an entire multiplatform publisher from it's biggest console market... MS money goes a long way... also if these sites don't kiss the MS ring I can't imagine they will be getting many review copies, if the Activision deal goes through MS can stop review copies of gaming&...
Yeah lets all get on Xbox, the platform that's currently cannibalizing games sales according to MS and just rent games, I'm sure that won't come back to bite us... and the workforce that'll be cut from receiving residuals.
“My strategy isn’t to steal their customers,” Close your legs Phillip, your breath stinks.
Only the true MS sycophants that lap up the feculent splatter of little phil will believe this bs. If it wasn't to steal customers then why not leave multiplatform publishers multiplatform?
A game that was always coming to Xbox is now turning the corner for Xbox. What you mean is MS buying up the multiplatform market and banning entire multiplatform publishers from xbox competition in the biggest anti-gamer/anti-consumer move in the history of gaming is xbox trying to turn the corner... why do gamers have to be crapped on so MS can give bigger pay-outs to shareholders and CEO's?
I just hope for Bethesda's future that people will pay for their products, Bethesda's gone from three full paying platforms to just PC, they've lost their biggest console market and will have to share gamepass money with all other studios... and MS shareholders... also hopefully MS won't cut Bethesda jobs again like they did in jan due to the Azure service not making large enough profits.
Yet again little one, you seem to not understand the difference between spending a combined $80 billion on buying and banning multiplatform publishers to single games and what industry consolidation on this scale does.
"I embarrassed you in the last article so who's really the kid around here"...oh dear. You know what, this obsession with me isn't healthy. I occupy too much of your head time, have a nap and take a timeout and stop trying to defend your pla...
