Microsoft Buying Activision Blizzard.

[spliz]

First of all…these games aren’t going to be exclusive now so chill.
Second…it’s hilarious seeing Sony Stan’s squirm. I thought this was all about exclusives. Now you feel the [unrealistic] threat of these games going exclusive and the conversation is about how unfair that would be to gamers?

Muthafukkas literally buying exclusives vs making their own first party shyt. shyt is a disingenuous argument. U got people who don’t really give a fukk about this console war shyt at all that can potentially be affected by the acquisitions. I don’t like when any company moves in this way. Apple, Microsoft, Google, Sony. Etc etc.

But they won't.. And I'm not even going back and forth with nikkas...

COD nor Skyrim will ever be exclusives... Timed maybe... I even doubt that....

I'll put money on it


EDIT: I reread that..... Kill off Playstation with COD... nikka what

They will. That's the whole point here. They're not buying these publishers (and their IPs) to make multi-platform games. They're doing it to make gamepass more attractive. You won't see any of those big tent-pole titles release on PS anymore after this. And that is a huge deal. Remember, Sony brings in a ton of revenue from being the place to play/buy/spend for numerous 3rd party titles. Losing that is going to have an effect, and it won't be positive. MS can shoulder that short-term loss from starving out the competition for future gains from being the premier place to play/spend.

I'm not being a fan here when I say this has horrible implications for the industry. People treating this like it's a good thing are being naive.

This is what I’m saying. People have zero foresight. This doesn’t even affect me negatively. Lol

You don't know business and population. You think those Sony fanboys will not buy those games nomore they will just buy an Xbox and utilize Cloud PC Mobile gaming. Consumers are not loyal
