Yep, this is a long term investment.
How about porting those early dos games to xbox? Daggerfall, Red Guard…
Yes, facebook is gaining ground in VR with quest2, Microsoft having such vast and great first party will give them leverage from angles that are not so apparent, then next 10-20yrs is going to be so crazy for the tech/games/computing industry because of new emerging technologies (cloud, A.I, Vr + Ar)
Oh, please yes! I’m tired of using DosBox .
Game Industry is effectively going to be ruined in the next couple of years. There will be no third party publishers by the time this is finished, and I’m not talking about Sony’s retaliation. I’m talking about Epic, Amazon, etc …
This is great for MS, but simply terrible for gaming in general. It won’t stop here, as the only third parties that won’t be snapped up are the likes of EA or Take 2. If From, Sega, Capcom, and Square Enix are snapped up by Sony or another group that won’t put games on Xbox I bet most here won’t be celebrating very long …
I truly hate this. I hate any large publisher being picked up by a platform holder. Developers are one thing, but publishers are a different matter
It’s an exclusivity play not just for Xbox but for Xbox, PC, Game Pass, Xcloud Etc…
Basically it’s an exclusivity play for their entire ecosystem.
Xbox: The Dragon Awakens
Out of flipping nowhere! Not even a whiff of this news before today, or even when I had lunch 4 hours ago!
Top trending on Twitter right now:
Well hot damn. Looks like that war chest turned out to be real then.
23 by 20 huh? Amazing.
I think it’s online multiplayer going free next. lmaooooo bag after bag
I expect many to be multiplat but not all. I could see Starfall being console exclusive but ES, Fallout, Wolfenstein, Doom. I see those as multiplat.
This purchase was ALL about Game Pass, everything else is a bonus.
I expect growth to be significant now. Some still don’t realise how much momentum GP will have going forward.
Can you imagine if we still had an E3 this year?
It already is significant lol. Microsoft added 5 million more since April. Imagine what it will be when Elder Scrolls gets released .
oh this is would be slam dunk move lmao
If Sony want to react to this then they would losing a lot of profit (PS Plus probably give Sony 1 blilion a year)
Just imagining what the graphic would have looked like while @P3 would have announced it.
But this is a very smart way to do it. I’m just worried about securing a Series X pre order tomorrow now haha.
More of this pls!
I like number games🙃
Guys get ready to see pseudo insiders with fake leaks saying Sony buying Rockstar Games, Square Enix and Fromsoftware…
It’s not like I didn’t warn you…
Spencer: “…and finally, we’re buying Zenimax/Bethesda. Have a great evening!”
Drops Mic. Walks off stage. Drinks are dropped and there are gasps among the stunned audience. Finally, someone reeling from disbelief says:
“…wut?”
Oh man, Todd Howard every E3 on Xbox stage from this point forward, I’m pumped.
