All of these studios besides Bungie were exclusively developing playstation games for most of their existence. Yall keep acting like that's the same shyt like yall are retarded or something.
Nothing at all, in fact its more competitive than paying 3rd parties to exclude games.
You're wrong, but you're here to troll so I'm not even gonna engage.Anything microsoft or sony buys is a “big tech merger”

Consolidation is consolidation.
You defend it in one place and condemn it in another based on your own arbitrary standards
Scale.
These are not Activision sized. And were purchased over the span of like 10-15 years.
Many were also already producing original IPs for Sony. M$ is acquiring publishers/developers who have generally been Multiplat for 20-25 years.
It's a form of plastic box wars copism.Consolidation is consolidation.

It's OK for sony to pay to take the largest games off xbox, but if xbox invest billions in their business It's a problem. Ha
I never defended it, but like I said, you're here to troll.Consolidation is consolidation.

You just defended it in that very post. And you lied to do so
There’s a difference between a timed exclusive and outright capturing a 4th (or more) of 3rd party publishing over the span of 2-3 years
High quality poster

This thread hilarious. All this acquisition gonna get you dweebs is a gamepass price hike.I've been consistent on both sides, you said I defend it on one side and not the other.You just defended it in that very post. And you lied to do so
You think consolidation is the same regardless of the size of the deal because you're retarded.
Find a post of mine being against Microsoft acquiring a studio but defending sony doing the same.
The gaming market is huge. What Microsft has purchased is not a lot relative to the overall market. If it was then they wouldn’t have won in court.
What? Activision is the 3rd biggest publisher. Zenimax was at least top 10.

blathering blatherskite!
Exactly, like lets name the biggest games those studios made before they were acquired.
Guerrilla Games - Killzone (sony owned ip)
Insomniac - Ratchet and Clank (sony owned IP), Resistance (sony owned IP), Spyro
Naughty Dog - Crash Bandicoot 1 & 2, Crash Team Racing
Media Molecule - Little Big Planet (sony owned IP)
Sucker Punch - Sly Cooper, Infamous (both sony owned IP)
Bluepoint - remasters and remakes of exclusively owned playstation IP
Bend Studio - Syphon Filter (sony owned IP), Bubsy 3D
Bungie - Destiny (which is still multiplatform)
And by sony owned that means those games were completely funded and published by and for Playstation with Sony money. There’s a good chance most of these studios wouldn’t even exist right now if it weren’t for sony acquiring them much less making some of the best and most awarded games in the industry.
But yes, it’s completely the same thing as Microsoft buying Bethesda and Activision
