Ms should hav bought Bungie back for 3.6 billion. But I guess that's where Phil drew the line
Owning and managing are different
Just like running a business because your dad was rich to own it and have a start up that's worth what it's worth because you worked hard
If Ms had given me the same resources they gave Phil I would have bet anything in this world that Xbox would be the #1 brand. Phil lives in a bubble constantly...
lol
exaxtly. i want fun
Maybe stop spending 69 billion on acquisition and keep these people and provide the resources and support
2019: ~144,000 Microsoft employees
2020: ~163,000 Microsoft employees
2021: ~181,000 Microsoft employees
2022: ~221,000 Microsoft employees
PS3/Xbox 360 was the great competitive generation that we are missing now. It was conventional gaming companies going at it
I agree it's the gamers fault. These companies sometimes make more money from micro transactions than by actually selling the games. NBA 2K series has become a casino basically and what's sickening is the fact some of the so called social media influencers go out of their way to promote these
Those simpler times without all the phony stuff was better IMO
You know what's the one thing that's missing in video games "FUN" most gam...
Gaming has become all about now can we get every single penny from gamers pockets while providing the least amount of content that is cost effective to develop
I miss the days when by simply playing the game we use to unlock content. There were cheat codes too which are now sold to us through micro transactions. It's the damn gamers who's at fault because if a publisher makes 800 million dollars from selling Fifa ultimate team cards than don't be surprised whe...
This is what you call slow news day and creating a story by either getting paid by Microsoft to write this or simply for a clickbait title
Npw I am not saying it cannot be elder ring like but let's also not forget Alden ring is the most awarded game in history so those are no small shoes to fill
Is that not a fact? They have too much talent under them and need to manage that instead of acquiring more. Their track record of management when it comes to Xbox studios isn't great or even very good
I know this I am tired of seeing these articles. One way or another this needs to end. I do hope all those defending MS's right to acquire publishers will show the same support to PlayStation when they buy multiple publishers too
It's not a ...
I will answer your question with common sense brother and not get defensive. I have a lot to say and If you or anyone want to have a mature conversation we can. But read the whole comment
If this deal is allowed to go through how can FTC or anyone stop any other company from acquiring another publisher or a whole company ? Tencent is a trillion dollar company looking to acquire so should they be allowed to acquire EA or Take two? On what basis will FTC or anyone stop th...
This is awesome. This may not be a popular opinion but as gamers we should be against these acquisitions. Ms already gave zenimax
This is not a pro gamer deal and shouldn't go through. Someone has to stop this deal. And please stop buying publishers
Microsoft already bought so many studios and bought zenimax so please just manage the talent you have acquired already. Games like fallout, starfield and elder scrolls are already exclusives

I would love a remaster of Fallout 3 and New Vegas with proper improvements to gameplay, performance and graphics
Yes it's backwards compatible but FO3 is one of my favorite games of all time and could benefit greatly from remaster
There is way more to this story that is only being delayed because of FTC and everything going on with Activision
These are awesome games
I hope we get physical version of all these games I dislike digital only releases
You know what kind of funny Xbox Fanboys want PlayStation to put exclusives day one on PlayStation Plus because the so-called gamer friendly but they don't demand the same quality of games from Phil Spencer and Xbox and are happy with a lot of average games
I bought a Xbox series X and I am still playing the one game they're great at delivering the wait till next year game
MGS4 will never ever come to any other platform. Sony has this deal in place
Bill
Sales of series S. I would love to know how many SX are sold compared to series S. Sony raised the price yet series s and X have seen sale prices
And people acting like PlayStation has no games coming in 2023 when in reality they have some heavy hitters coming early and often
Sony has quite possibly the biggest game releasing next year "Spiderman 2" along with final fantasy 16, forspoken, horizon forbidden West dlc, PS...
Keep in mind Xbox 360 had a year head start and 6 million lead yet it took Sony almost whole generation to catch up. Right now PS5 has 10 million lead so you can just use your common sense
Exactly this amount is absolutely nothing
They were given time and resources and couldn't produce a single halo game that can be considered on the same level as Bungie. Halo infinite will be looked back on as one of the biggest failures in gaming for years to come
MS built this studio from ground up but put too many people in the kitchen
