So microsoft keeps Activision games on playstation and Sony keeps destiny on Xbox and will put their new gaas games on Xbox. Is this the so called world peace?

There are way too many unknowns right now to feel strongly about anything

At least we can move on from the notion that these companies cannot talk about their plans when purchasing other companies.

Ok but why spend 70 billion in this when thereâs others studios out there that could be fully exclusive?
Call of duty I understand and I was expecting , but other titles too ? Lol .

For me it had come to a point where Iâm like⌠whatever, if this means PS and Switch players can keep playing them why should I be against that? Sure I love to see some horrible fanboys melt down, but itâs only a handful maybe less and it doesnât weigh up against normal, level headed players not being able to play.
But then I read thisâŚand yeahâŚnot good! Will other studios that might have started bothering with Xbox now not bother after all?

and what if MS makes more money regardless?? why do you care so much about people picking up a MS box if youâre getting the game on gamepass?

Well hey, I canât be hypocritical, I always was saying if they acquire a Japanese publisher then Nintendo releases should still be allowed for various reasons.

Iâll be ok with this if the deal with Sony is for them to stop moneyhatting shit, if they keep at it with big games this year, then manâŚ

it was never going to happen anyway, many of these support studios tied down to cod with not many talents left, only Toys for bob would go out of cod factory fr.
Probably went through how much the deal costs, compared to how much money they would potentially lose pulling Activision/Blizz games of Playstation. Plus it could make the deal go through easier, and potentially even open room up for Microsoft to make more acquisitions. Stuff like The Elder Scrolls is massive but we wont see that for a few years and after that thereâs a chance it takes a decade+ long hiatus. So itâs probably an easier pill to swallow making Bethesda games exclusive compared to Activision/Blizz. Thereâs still potential for new IP to be exclusive also but honestly I would just wait and see what they are going to do on that front too.
Because Im a fan of Xbox and Microsoft? and I think the best way to take advantage of all this for their benefit is by leveraging these kind of IPâs instead of whatever they did with Minecraft by forcing people to come over or sub to game pass.
Idk how leaving all this Multiplatform does that.

At the end of the day, if the deal goes through and it results in a much better working environment and studio creativity (outside of CoD, Overwatch, Diablo, WoW), I wonât complain.

I donât really care either way, but that statement was still incredibly vague and doesnât mean what most people here seem to think it does.

Yeah, this I donât get either. Crash, Spyro, THPS are singleplayer games.
Why is Redfall, Starfield and TES VI exclusive again?

Why would we care about MS making money⌠weâre consumers, and exclusives add value to the service.
As with every platform and subscription service available⌠why does this have to be said lol

Hardly an equal trade. Destiny isnât as popular as one call of duty let alone all of them. Year after year.
Theyâll all be exclusive unless Sony paid for marketing. Theyâre just talking about Warzone and Warzone 2.
