PlayStation: Xbox's Call of Duty offer was "inadequate on many levels" (Jim Ryan says Xbox offered 3 years beyond current deal)

That’s good, and he doesn’t always have good takes.

I think the bad take on the Grounded situation came to haunt him.

Wait you guys don’t like Ryan McCaffrey either?? Does everyone on this forum hate all the Xbox influencers lol?

I hate around 3/4th of all Xbox influencers.

[DARK-PARADISE]

Literally all I could see if the whole of ABK became Xbox exclusive is at best a level playing field. Playstation want to pretend they are some underdogs which is ridiculous. This is a brand that’s synonyms with consoles and gaming itself, people in many countries literally call any gaming box a PlayStation. No game or two can change that.

Because Microsoft will OWN the freaking IP so why shouldn’t it be exclusive to Xbox/PC/Cloud?

This doesn’t answer my question though.

So since PlayStation owns Destiny I should be rooting for that to go exclusive?

I respectfully disagree.

YES you should.

I believe that future Bungie games WILL be exclusive to PlayStation/PC. Everything already previously released will stay as is.

I will never ever understand anyone’s viewpoint to when a company buys something which in turn, means that they will then own what they are buying that they should still allow their competition to have it. That’s hilarious to me.

I have nothing against the person, just some of the previous takes and continue to hope those in the area of influence would do better. As to the others, it depends on how you define “influencer”.

I skip over the ones who do Click Bait things, but I realize they’re simply working within the system. I don’t hate them for it. But I won’t propagate it by spreading it further. I will listen to clips if many say it’s worth it and I have the time.

I have absolute respect for The Xbox Era crew and a handful of other genuine folks.

Funnily enough, I only like Jez from the four people you’ve listed.

The way Jim Ryan is so against the ABK deal makes it seem like PlayStation is going to go out of business if the acquisition happens.

Maybe the numbers aren’t even that good ?

Maybe the rise in price is for compensation of that ?

It seems smart to get that out of the way first, then attack Phil like they are forced to raise prices because of Microsoft, the evil company, against they can’t compete…

[Staffy]

So from this can we make out that Jim refused the deal? So once ABK deal closes and the contracts are done MS can do whatever they want? Because if so, Jim fucked up badly, wow.

[GamingFirefighter]

I hope all this backlash causes Jim Ryan to be replaced since I have nothing against PlayStation I just don’t like Jim Ryan.

I don’t personally feel a benefit towards games being exclusive, that’s my point.

I have always hated the idea of exclusivity, that’s been a known quantity for many years. The fact that all of a sudden it’s a controversial take is beyond me.

I say we settle this with a 1v1 on rust, 360 quick scopes only

My money is on big Phil

Totally agree if that’s the case. Jim would’ve been better off shutting his mouth if that’s the actual outcome,

Yeah, hard to say. What now ? We were talking about the exclusive content contracts that Sony paid for COD like a month or 2 ago ? What happened to that ?

@DARK-PARADISE

It’s not everyday that a platform holder acquires a significantly important multiplatform publisher. No similar history exists for us to derive from, it’s an extremely unique situation.

Psygnosis was pretty massive at the time

No, the only thing we can say is that Jim is trying everything to make the ABK acquisition fail or get more out of the deal. But I bet he’s already talked with the Sony investors and they’ve already planning to agree to the deal as soon as the acquisition happens.

Yeah I’m half aware of that. Were they anywhere close to as significant as ABK?
