Looks like Owned Cloud Streaming gaming is very close, to the point where you can already do it with The Crew Motorfest.

I’ll be more worry on anime front than anything else.

Last year I believe the Rare account also threw shade with a Sea of Thieves twit. The Flight Simulator and Asobo teams can also feel aggrieved, given how much free content has been developed for Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 in the last four years since the launch of the game.

If its true I hope it’s going to be a Bungie type of deal because Xbox missing out on From Software games would fucking suck!

Let’s not even start about the anime world.

Well if they wanted to outshine FS 2024, and Stalker 2 with that news, I wouldn’t be surprised

Ideally there’s a deal between MS and Sony, PS keeps getting CoD, From games keep coming to Xbox.

Meh, we’ll see.

Reminder: Crunchyroll subscription is about to raise double the price for base level next year.

DSouls and ER are too big to be ps exclusive, doing that will make them lose money

I think I got base, I’ll check today. I will cancel if so, and watch stuff via other ways.

Agreed. ER sold quite well on Xbox, right?

There’s more to lose than anything if going exclusive. Spike is only ā€œbigā€ when associate with DB and Bamco got them. Losing that will make them lose millions. They can kiss PC gamers goodbye the moment they request PSN account.

I assume that for Sony this move is especially for anime, getting From is nice of course too, but it’s not solely for that, obviously.

Let exclusives become a thing of the past, slowly but surely.

Definitely more on that. It doesn’t help that Netflix is actually competing them in that front and actually doing good at it. I believe Disney+ is trying next, staring next year. It’s going to be hectic.

I just realised one thing that makes the whole Elden Ring DLC being GOTY even more absurd.

You can’t play it without having ER, if it had been a stand alone, not needing a copy of ER one could argue it’s a game.

Wtf Geoff?

The whole thing is a mess, what else is new.

Yeah but at least the rest are actual games. I don’t get the thought process behind this shit at all. :joy:

I can’t speak until I play it myself but I can’t help but think something odd about Wu Kong being inducted over Like a Dragon or even Persona 3 Reload or since indie can get in, Neva, and so on.

Sony attempting to buy froms parent company would be amazing. A pro US FTC will absolutely push to block it, and the discovery of all Sonys anti Xbox deals will absolutely paint them in a terribly anti consumer and anti competition light which may we’ll see them under pressure from the CMA and EU as well.

You sure about that? I think it would be opposite. I think it would go though real easy and from games get locked down

That’s what I’m afraid of too. I mean even though Xbox is not saying right now all their games will be day and date on other platforms, they did say there’s no red line. And Sony at some point might follow suit too, but we aren’t there yet by any means.

Can definitely see Sony locking them down for at least a year or two to strengthen their first party offerings. Hopefully From (or Kadokawa I guess) won’t agree to a deal unless it’s like Bungie.

I can’t imagine Bandai being too happy about this.

Deal definitely wouldn’t get blocked for gaming reasons, might get some attention due to anime since I know that even came up with their previous acquisitions.
