Can you just not?

Eh kind of facing the future.

Regardless of who gets who, you’re gonna need all consoles to enjoy everything or a PC.

I don’t believe Sony has the money to get Capcom even if they wanted to sell.

They could get a loan or pay some in stocks incentives

Being pessimistic about the future like that will only just make you sadder in the long run. I say there’s no point in worrying about it until something happens, because if nothing ends up happening then you worried for nothing. Enjoy the good times, save the worry for its time.

I also have a PC and a PS5. But your post clearly is just shit stirring.

True.

We’ll see. In the end it doesn’t matter since, and I’m willing to bet money on this, platform exclusives will be going away!

In a few years you’ll be able to play Playstation games on Xbox and vice versa.

Mark my words, this is the future and it’s a good one!

Not really. Sony’s gonna acquire somebody at some point that’s gonna cut off Xbox support, so I’m just picking the obvious targets.

It’s the same end we’re doing here.

Depends on if they’re tied up with ABK.

No big publisher pushes until ABK is cleared, that’s for sure.

Small studios maybe, but Hoag says it’s bad optics.

I’ve been listening to alot from Hoag lately.

Smart dude.

I got to say, this helped folks like Hoeg to get views and subscribers since people is actually curious if this acquisition truly a monopoly or whatever terms the haters and (sadly) journalists are throwing. So, good things came out of their reactions, because now I have been learning more about these laws and what not. So, thanks.

Regardless of who ends up where, Hoagg is a must listen to about M&A on this scale.

Been listening to pretty much everything he’s on.

Would it be worth it at this point?

Now I know this is going to sound stupid after they just bought ABK. But man Ubisoft has so many studios and employees. It just seems like an incomprehensible amount teams to manage if they bought them, including what they currently have, and what they will have after ABK. At the moment Ubisoft currently has

21 Main Development studios

14 support studios

10 mobile/F2P studios

45 studios total

With over 21000 employees

I think ABK has over 12000 employees with Activision having 11 studios including King. And Blizzard has like 6 teams under them so that’s 17

Bethesda and XBGS has around 6000 combined with 23 studios

You’re looking at around 40,000 employees with like 85 studios, and what over 100 teams making games? I just worry with something like that Xbox could be biting off more than they could chew.

You’ve needed all consoles to get the best of gaming for years now. Tbh if someone is an enthusiast enough to spend much of their free time discussing games (like me!), they’d do well to get every console, even if it takes a few years of budgeting.

Yeah.

Lol, that being said, I haven’t been able to find a PS5 here (from a specific retailer) for months now… Damn chip shortage.

TELL ME ABOUT :sob:

Dont see why Capcom WOULD sell which is like the most important factor.
