Re: PS5, PS4 Players Will 'Remain Welcome' As Xbox Closes $69 Billion Activision Blizzard Buyout

It was never about gaining console exclusives. Microsoft don't really care about Xbox hardware

What they do care about is subscription growth and the mobile market. COD and King will do those things .

Lazy sure, brutishly starting a monopoly, most definitely. but that's how Microsoft have operated now since the early 90s . I'm amazed only now have they let the mask slip in the gaming industry 25 years after starting Xbox

It is the end, It's the end of Microsofts attempts to buy Activision which has gone on long enough.
No need to read anything more into my comment, only a fool thinks consolidation is good for the industry. Microsoft are looking to monopolize video game software because they failed miserably at hardware.

In another 10 years they'll try to gobble up ea

@Nobigwoo

Yep you did miss the point. The point is Microsoft throughout this whole process have been trying to paint themselves as the plucky good guy who doesn't do exclusives yet they are the worse by far.
Sony nor Nintendo have ever bought a publisher let alone 2 as far as I'm aware and put an exclusivity wall up behind a huge catalogues of multiplatform titles.
The good guy spin they put out is cringe.

Re: European Union Likely to Pass Xbox's $69 Billion Buyout of Activision

I will be intrigued by Sony's reaction to this once it's done. As the PlayStation brand will have lost significant value with all Activision blizzard games becoming Xbox exclusive bar cod which will be "free" on GP. While $70 on PlayStation.
I'm fairly certain they'll try and claw back some minor percentage to keep the PlayStation brand competitive in the face of the huge swing in COD players migrating to GP by taking something major away from the Xbox brand within their purchasing power.
Capcom , maybe fromsoft which they already have made nibbles at

Agreed its a hard thing to do if serious money isn't spent, it should be almost avatar like In it's scope .
A prequel about Dr sobak and ted farro would be easier. But maybe Netflix will pay up, they got the money tbh. Stranger things season 4 is the 2nd most expensive TV show made , more then game of thrones
