I donât play Cod, but this is oddly disappointing.
Maybe it will be a Psychonauts situation. Other platforms get worse versions and have to pay full price while Xbox/PC users get the best version and game pass?
At the time of Zenimax, I came to an understanding that exclusives are important to sell consoles. CoD is probably the biggest game that can do so. So itâs a little confusing to me now.
Never enjoyed games being taken away from other platforms. But I do wish for xbox to gain player base.

What games do ACTI/BLIZZ make for Switch?
They will never do that. Lawsuits waiting to happen.
Again, MS operating on a level that is just outside console warring nonsense. They are just doing what is best for MS and their shareholders. Leverage some products with exclusivity to make GP attractive. When an I.P. is more beneficial and profitable being on all platforms then do that.
I have said before that I think if MS could get GP on Playstation then they wouldnât hesitate. Almost all big companies are pivoting heavily to cloud and services. It is not about locking people out but about getting everyone in.
In the end, the more money MS make the more they can invest in new studios and existing studios to make great games. Surely thats what mattersâŚright ?

Makes sense - for multiplayer games in general theyâre better off being on as many platforms as possible and theyâre gonna have World of Warcraft (totally coming to other platforms), Call of Duty, Overwatch and so on. I donât think this news really changes anything - single player games will likely still be exclusive. Itâs ALL gonna be on game pass and I think Activision as a company will be better run under Microsoft.
Only crash bandicoot
Ya know I have to sayâŚI actually respect PlayStation for not trying to hide who they are and what they do, at least I know up front what Iâm getting.
It just feels like MS wants to try and do it allâŚcompete and buy studios and publishers, make this exclusive but not this, be the good guyâŚ
At least Sony is transparent in how they operateâŚI 100% believe they wouldâve made all things Destiny exclusive in a second if it wouldnât have been a deal breaker with Bungie.

That happened on Psychonauts 2.
Both franchises barely as popular as COD/Diablo/Overwatch in todayâs market and donât offer another mtx cash pool like those 3 series for other platforms because Crash/Spyro is mostly SP-focused. But I dunno Satya and Phil arenât consistent with their own damn words.
I believe Overwatch 2 was promised a Switch version
Iâd rather theyâd spent that money on smaller studios or publishers and kept those IPs exclusive.
Letâs see if Sony can play good guy with the moneyhatting now.

if youâre a fan, you should want MS to make the most money while securing more games for the MS platform, no? this is that.
they are doing this because theyâve calculated this makes them the most money (more money=more games) or regulators are forcing them too (which i doubt)
No
What happened with Psychonauts 2 is that they delivered what they promised which was a PS4 version. Xbox funded 2 years of the game and got a native next gen version as a result.

Diablo 4 was announced for PS4 and Overwatch 2 should be on every platform as well. They are making a lot of money in esport and mtx. Bigger audience, more money.
After that idk. ABK Singleplayer games should be exclusive, but most their money makers are Multiplayer games.
nah i think any GAAS MP game would be multiplatform, you already put the big dogs there why not do for the same these type of games needs Players ?
SP only games would be exclusive
