Maybe they can work out a 10-15 yr deal w/ DC and LOTR, where they got exclusive rights ala EA and Star Wars :ehh:

Spend $2-3 billion for the studios and a 10-15 year exclusive deal for DC/LOTR/Lego :ehh:

Suicide Squad and Gotham Knights drop day 1 in game pass, then next gen Raven and Superman game in 2026/2027 :ehh:

License is too valuable to do that. They wanted 4 billion for the studios WITHOUT the DC license

Xbox makes about 6% of MS profits, they currently got $130B+ cash on hand. Spend $4B for the studios, then an additional $100mil - $1B for a 20yr exclusive license for the entire DC/LOTR/Lego catalog.

Have Suicide Squad and Gotham Knights release day 1 in Gamepass, then let WB Montreal and Rocksteady each do 2-4 DC standalone games since they only got the licence for 20 years

Superman 2027(Rocksteady)
Green Arrow 2028(WB Montreal)
Green Lantern 2032(Rocksteady)
Black Canary 2035(Rocksteady)
Wonder Woman 2036(WB Montreal)
Justice League 2040(Rocksteady)
TMNT 2040(WB Montreal)

Xbox could have their own DC gaming universe, this needs to happen and $5B is worth it(that's not even 6% of MS cash reserves). After the universe ends, those studios would have developed the versatiliy to develop brand new IP's. :ehh:

The DC license is worth more than the studios... And AT&T know this. That's why it wasn't included except for Mortal Kombat

Just because they have the money, it doesn't meant they have to take a shytty deal.

AT&T was looking to dip in someone's pockets for four billion, and then dip in again for probably something in the billion(s) range for licensing properties, too.

If either they brought the price down, or included some IP, this deal would've been done.

Hopefully this one will be worth playing


Man y’all can’t do this

One moment it’s “where the gaaaaaaaammmmmeesssas?”

When with Gamepass fans have access to THOUSANDS of then

Then switch to “Bu Bu Bu Bu Bu Bu but what about AAA?”


:russ:


That’s moving the goal post and pretending or over exaggerating that EVERY game Sony drops is a great game:mjlol:


They 3 for 10 in the last years:lolbron:

they havent learned it aint about the fukking money...:what: its about who's creating the games...and what the games are about.
You make a great point, but here's why you're 100% wrong. You have never been an Xbox gamer. Any good Xbox game because you're a clownfish you assume nothing is good. They've had excellent franchises since the og Xbox. You haven't played none of that because you're an idiot

This get Microsoft decided to move away from 1st party and focus on 2nd and 3rd party titles. Sony buys exclusivity, Xbox felt it could help other devs develop instead of investing in their in projects. Ryse, Quantum break, Sunset overdrive. Even titles you'd think are first party like killer instinct was made by other companies and not rare. Halo infinite is struggling because they tried to outsource development. They tried to streamline the business model and it didn't work.

So now they back to business, and they doing everything you praise Sony exclusives for. Games that have a big budget and take years to create. Xbox doing that now with a lot of the people who created your favorite games and you're acting as if they haven't been here before.

Don't you see that you're wishing and hoping the ppl you love fail because it's not your system they working on anymore? When you guys say don't talk please, take your own advice x1,000,000,000,000
