Here to help those confused.
MINECRAFT WAS A GAME OUTSIDE OF GAMING LIKE FORTNITE AND IS NOT THE RULE BUT THE EXCEPTION. EVERY OTHER DEVELOPMENT STUDIO AFTER ACQUISITION HAS BEEN AND WILL DO EXCLUSIVE CONTENT TILL THE END OF MICROSOFTS OWNERSHIP.
ECOSYSTEM= PC/XBOX/MOBILE.
@Nexus if Sony had made this acquisition they would need an IMMEDIATE ROI because of how low their COH is. Microsoft doesn't need immediate return. Obviously.
Edit: and if you needed these studios just for Gamepass you could have signed a million dollars deal. 7.5 billion is for control. And to make it not available to Sony. End of story.
Same with VR lol
Hot take: PS3 Sony is back and Microsoft is going to take advantage of it as much as they can and take the market piece by piece and it's going to be a way closer race this generation. Even if we all know PS is going to do better, Xbox will still be in a way better spot in 3 years.
Shhh not allowed on this site dude
I agree it's freaking exhausting. The sega shit, from software shit, the konami shit. Like PlayStation does just fine on its own as it is.
Microsoft REALLY NEEDED this acquisition, I can admit that. To even compete
@solidsteel
That's a joke. I can pay 25$ a month entry point to start next gen while you're going to pay MINIMUM 399$, plus whichever game/s you're going to buy.... so how is what Sony doing more consumer friendly, or more specifically how is what microsoft doing "bad for gamers" as you put it. When sony has so much less to offer us, in general in terms of value, during a pandemic when so many of us are suffering? I'm sorry but that sentiment is a...
Be honest... The moment sony says "exclusive" from From Software again we'll hear microsoft buying Kadokawa 😂
Oblivion defined the 360 just as much as Halo. Believe me if you had a 360 and didn't have Halo, DEFINITELY had oblivion. Ffs this acquisition was genius. And can only make both parties better.
I'm one of them. I signed up 2 weeks ago
I mean the willingness to pay a Sony tax on this site...
Not only that all these studio managers don't have to worry about layoffs, funds or lack of capital. This will breed more focus and creativity and less crunch because Phil just delayed his one launch day door buster to make a good game. This is fantastic news
You're the saltiest reaction I've seen today.
I'm telling you Microsoft wants a monthly release schedule for their game pass subscription and this is how they're going to do it
While still giving your audience on Gamepass HUGE value.
I mean people talk about MS having no games all the time. When they start acquisitions though.. now it's unfair. No I mean seriously. This news on this site if it were sony would be lauded. Fact.
And leave money off the table? No. Microsoft is going to keep the vast majority of these games multi. Because money
Think about it. Gamepass. Bethesda. ESO. ES6. DOOM. ETERNAL. FALLOUT.
It has to do with what they needed as far as air flow same with series x but the X looks like it has a more elegant solution imo.
But opinions you know lol
Lmao plural never looked so good
