He’s right but that’s how Microsoft has always done business
they will absolutely try this until the ftc starts screaming antitrust
And if they do people will just buy the consoles or xcloud

Sounds like a bunch of people that have no objective business sense. I can tell they are sony stans without any background knowledge.
The only true thing they said is it would be a uproar if MS bought take two. Which is facts, no matter how great the product is that comes out people are going to "MS just buys stuff" after saying "MS should just buy stuff"
Up until 3 years ago sony has and had bought more companies than microsoft.
Up until last gen Sony's 1st party titles coming out there studio's were just ok. Tell me your favorite PS3 1st party games that wasn't uncharted, gow or TLOU
Playstation has had a whole generation to itself before xbox dropped.
MS needs to buy studio's if they don't sony will buy and incentivize 6-1 year exclusives deals... which might as well be exclusives to the sony hype beast.
MS can't play the "we just going to make our games and let third parties do there thing game" otherwise anything worth having either wont be on the xbox or locked out for months to a year. So you acquire talent, growth them and grow gamepass.
Win win.
Now they just need some japanese talent.....

This is true
I can see why Microsoft is taking this approach
They tried playing nice with the xbox one and are now a laughing stock to the gaming community
Sony has all 4 quadrants of the gaming audience and Microsoft really only has 1. The only way to survive besides xbox being owned by Microsoft is to buy the heavy hitters of the game market

Don't forget Sony bought naughty dog too
I don't agree with none of that
First off, what are these quadrants you're speaking of and how many Jan Michael Vincents are we talking about here?
Let me give you the reality of what's happening here. Microsoft is executing the same plans it's always had. Phil Spencer didn't create gamepass. This was always the eventuality, and the next step will be connected consoles and/or PC's to work like a supercomputer to create gaming experiences not possible without such a setup.
Sony doesn't and won't have that because they are not future proof. If you do a search with my name and Sony future proof you'll find dozens of post going back a decade telling everyone this. Anyways, the kishi controller makes my cellphone act just like a Nintendo switch. So now they got that "quadrant" on lock too. I can play Halo anywhere
The first party studios, the resources to make whatever they want, they even have AR/VR ready to roll, and all I'm seeing from Sony is literally what this thread is about.. Sony making acquisitions or exclusivity deals. Have you played Halo infinite BTW?
