Re: Xbox on Charm Offensive to Push $69 Billion Activision Acquisition Through

TommyNL

The first thing that happens is Microsoft bribing Nvidia by saying that CoD will be available on Gforce now....I think this should be enough for the European Union to oppose the deal. Microsoft is not prepared at all. But tries to attract companies in this way. Microsoft is a big circus right now. And Phill Spencer killing time by playing HIFI Rush on his series s in his hotel room. It shouldn't get crazier :😜

Re: PS Plus Extra, Premium Get 17 More Games Next Week

@add286
Maybe my response came across as harsher than I intended. But I mean to say that you should not forget that a Horizon FW costs over 100 million euros to make. Then you cannot expect these first party titles to appear on a subscription model. For example, you could also just buy a game on offer instead of the full amount. I imagine it's a lot of money for some. But I am annoyed by comments nowadays that mean that everything should be "given away" for free or cheaply. And that's not how it works in this world. Be happy with the things you do get. Including Horizon fb on plus extra. If you already have the game (like me) I will play another game. But I'm glad that a lot of gamers can get acquainted with this game thanks to this promotion.

Re: Sony Cuts PSVR2 Launch Sale Estimates by Half, New Report Claims

@Darude84
Do you have any idea what technology is in those glasses? not to mention the new controllers. People really think Sony should sell everything at a loss. Of course it doesn't work that way. Research, Marketing, Manufacturing and parts are not free either. (Although some do think that Sony is a non-profit organization.) If you think it's too expensive, just wait until it comes on sale. That Kayak simulator, Horizon and RE village alone are worth it.

Re: PS Plus Extra Loses 10 PS4 Games in January 2023

@thefourfoldroot1
haha i know your problem. I also often have titles that I would like to play and then even write down. But once I finally have time to play a title I can't find it anywhere. But you still have until January 17 to play the game. If it doesn't work out this month, I still wish you a Merry Christmas!

Re: US Government's FTC Will Attempt to Block Microsoft's Activision Buyout

TommyNL

@HunterRose
serious? Sony owns the Spiderman license. (at least for the movies) Microsoft has had the chance to buy the Spiderman license and make Spiderman games. She didn't want that. Because Microsoft doesn't want to make games. They have 23 studios but NOTHING comes out. The only thing coming now is because Bethesda was already working on those games. Just go make games Microsoft. So does Sony.

Re: Reaction: PS Stars Is Overdue Yet Appreciated, But There's Lots of Room to Improve

TommyNL

@Jarobusa
Of course there is room for a lot of improvement. but when I say that it is a new program and that it still needs to be tinkered with, it is nonsense. because Microsoft has a similar program and that is better. (Gosh how could that be?) And if stars had been just as good as the xbox variant, Sony will copy it again. in short it is never good. Do you understand what I mean?

Re: Shocking: Sony Doesn't Want Game Pass on PlayStation, Microsoft Has a Pop at PS Plus

TommyNL

@AdamCorela
Of course they want to, because 25 million users is nothing to write home about. And if you put gp on Playstation you have 3 times that at once. What a stupid company MS is. Basically they want to make CoD xbox exclusive. But if we are allowed to put Gamepass on Playstation, Playstation owners can also continue with CoD on Playstation. disgusting development. I really hope the UK and EU put a stop to it. Everyone can see what Microsoft is after. Sony is just 1000% right.

Re: PS5, PS4 Loyalty Scheme PS Stars Out Now in North America

TommyNL

@CielloArc
haha are you serious? did you really expect Sony to give money for previously won trophies? Of course it doesn't work that way. Although it would have been nice of course. Why do companies nowadays have to do everything retroactively? Sony is a company that are not there to please us.

Re: Horizon Zero Dawn Remaster for PS5 Reportedly in Development

@IonMagi
That is not really a reliable source, only the name Riskmonster says it all. And all Sony divisions just make a profit. Better than ever. 15 years ago it was a bit less. but that's why they've divested divisions like the Vaio division. Sony pictures just makes a profit with Spider man, Ghostbuster and Uncharted as an example. Did they want to earn more with those films? of course! I also hope every month that I win the state lottery and earn more. But unfortunately not yet succeeded. And what good is it if Sony goes bankrupt? Thousands of people around the world are just going to lose jobs. The fact that Sony makes a game that you (and I) are not waiting for is not the reason that a billion-dollar company is allowed to go bust. We have nothing to do with that. And Sony is also very big in Asia in the financial world. They have banks and insurance companies. Which also rake in a lot of yen. So Sony really doesn't have to bite the bullet. We just don't buy Horizon Zero Dawn remaster. Problem solved. But I don't need to tell you how many people bought TLOU1 ps5 edition. So Sony really knows what they are doing.

@IonMagi
I understand that a remaster of hzd makes no sense. But Sony is bankrupt? They make a profit every year. The only department that is a bit limp are mobile phones. Do you have any idea how big Sony is worldwide? Much more than just Playstation. But give me a source of those financial reports showing that Sony is doing so badly. I mean if you claim something you have to provide proof.

Re: Poll: What Review Score Would You Give The Last of Us: Part I?

TommyNL

@BritneyfR_ee This is an honest opinion that I share. The game itself is really fantastic, but the price is not. So I think a lot of people are waiting for a good price cut. Because for newcomers to Playstation, this is of course a game that you should not miss. If you are talking about Sony and exclusives in one sentence, this is what it is about.

Re: PlayStation Bites Back At 'Inadequate' Call of Duty Offer from Microsoft

TommyNL

@IonMagi That is indeed correct. But even then, everyone can make out from this what Microsoft intends to do with the acquisition. And that is simply not good to say. I don't play CoD myself and personally I don't care at all what happens to Activision. But I do think that they leave Playstation owners out in the cold in this way. At least those who play CoD then.

@IonMagi
Desperate? I think that's okay. I think Phil this is before. He is now doing everything he can to make the Activision deal go through. So lie too. Because several years is different from 3 years. Playstation owners are therefore simply screwed hard if this takeover goes through. It should be clear that Mr. Spencer is playing dirty and throwing all rosy stories online when nothing is right. And so rightly so that Jim Ryan "corrects" this, nothing desperate about it but just honesty.
