Acquisition in the size don’t happen overnight and do take years to finalize lol what you think they just walk up with a deal and its closed ?? Quick frankly Zenimax was losing money , behind closed doors they was looking to be sold. Can’t be mad at Microsoft for having the money Sony nor Nintendo doesn’t.
I mean ZENIMAX was worth a estimated $5.7B before the acquisition and MS had a total asset of $301B … $7.5B quick frankly isn’t a lost to them.
I mean based on how many ppl are mad Microsoft bought in the first place , and ppl saying they only bought them to keep exclusives away from PS lol so obviously he had to come out to make the statement. PS only gamers been bitching since it happened
@shadow I mean isn’t that the reason for exclusives ?? Didn’t Sony buy insomniac for that reason lol so Microsoft could never get a game from them. Obviously Zenimax was up for sale if it was sold, Microsoft is just the only gaming company who could afford the asking price. Ppl are so bitter lol
@foxtrot I mean he’s right though “exclusives are not what gaming is all about” its simply half the battle, it’s about exclusives and third-party support. The WiiU failed because it had terrible marketing also it didn’t have any support from 3rd party studios. Microsoft has third party support just need to work in the exclusives department. Lol and bro where does him saying “exclusives are not what gaming is ALL about” meant him saying “exclusives are bad” I’m confused right now. If you don’t...
I use to be one of those gamers who slept on the Switch, bought one and been in love since, BOTW is a amazin
Or it’s just a great piece of machine and achieves what it sets out to do.
They both are the same , you can still put the lite version on the TV dock.
I’m happy I’m apart of the number , I’ve been loving my switch.
@Ron first their relationship with insomniac was by default , it was them or Nintendo. When Sony purchased insomniac they weren’t a small studio.
@popsicle orrrrr most obviously developers are human to , they already get enough pressure from the fans. So as somebody who responsible for these ppl , I don’t want to add anymore stress then over stress my developers which can in turn cause an even more negative effect. I know you heard news of certain studios in crunch time over working their workers. Who wants that’s negative vibe ???
insomniac wasn’t a small studio, the only big studio MS bought was Zenimax. The other studio that were purchased were going under anyway, y’all Sony fans are clueless. Y’all need to become friends with google.com for real lol .. spreading more false information then anything ..
Microsoft help evolve the very network you play games with your friends with bro, don’t act like PS network wasn’t lagging behind Xbox live the whole 7th gen. You should thank MS for helping PS network get out of the trash state it was in.
@knightedhollow what are you talking about ?? Majority of MS studios they did so have a relationship with them prior to purchase. Fans swear they know what goes on in the background.
I’m confused or is he not giving them their creative freedom, something everybody complained that MS doesn’t do. Complaining for years that MS wasn’t giving them creative freedom. Now he’s doing exactly that and ppl still find ways to complain. I feel like at this point with MS it’s damned if you do damned if you don’t. I highly doubt MS spent all that money for no gain, that’s just stupid. Microsoft and Sony studio acquisition are completely different because one has way more cash on hand th...
dude are y’all really that ignorant or what ??? I’m starting to think some of y’all Sony fans are. So basically: I have confidence in the team to deliver what the fans are looking for.
Asked how much is riding on Halo Infinite as far as the future of the franchise is concerned, Xbox boss Phil Spencer told IGN the next series instalment is far from make or break for the long-running series.
Xbox says Halo Infinite will not ‘make or break’ the franchise
“I don’t know if this is what you want me to say or not, like when I think about the community but I’m just being honest, I don’t think about it that way, like the future of the franchise,” he respo...
I guess since nobody wants to read it lol I’ll just put it in the comments.
“I never want to put a team in a position where they feel, this one’s got to land or who knows,” he said.
The Xbox exec added: “We are so focused on Halo this holiday and making it a game that our Halo fans will be proud of, that’s the most important thing to us, but I’m not one of these kind of dire prediction people.
“I think game teams, whether it’s our teams...
Sony fans need me to get out their feelings , man y’all are like a scorn woman who can’t let go. Can’t be mad at Microsoft for having the money to make acquisitions Sony can’t do even if they wanted to.
