Re: Sony to Acquire Minority Stake in Elden Ring Dev FromSoftware

Doublecell

@Casco I'm pretty sure xbox made these deals also tomb raider,bioshock,the last remnant and mass effect come to mind there are plenty more. For all intent and purposes xbox got their butts handed to them last gen and sony mostly did it with their exclusives, actually I can only really count like two 3rd parties deals that I know sony made last gen being ff7 remake and persona, if there are more that I'm missing feel free to inform me.

To prove a little bit of my point just think about this for a minute, before the Bethesda acquisition xbox aquired at least 5 studios ninja theory, undead labs,Compulsion Games and play ground games let's throw in double fine also. Do you know how many triple A games were released between the 5 of them? 2 just 2 games being forza and Psychonauts2 that's it. Notice how their showcase was mostly Bethesda and we barely heard a peep from the other studios. If they didn't aquire Bethesda what would that showcase consisted of ? The answer is not much they didn't buy these companies to stop sony from third-party deals they did it because they were having trouble developing their own games and needed help, point blank period. And I have no problem with it but let's not try to pretend like they're some good guys trying to give sony a taste of their own medicine good guys don't cut other platforms off from whole publishers but competitors do.
