People were ready to burn down sony HQ, the entire gaming industry was in a tizzy about spider-man being exclusive to an avengers game that realistically no one will be even playing next year.

Yet, microsoft buys half the gaming industry and it’s a celebration lol

Congrats...I'ma let y'all duke it out over the studios because at the end of the day every time a studio levels up, a big part of its team splinters off to create a new one :yeshrug:

This just a good move for the industry as a whole.

Would be dope if Sony acquired Capcom or some shyt like that.

Sony just bought Insomniac or whatever the studio is called. They good. Capcom, Sega, Square don't need to be bought out. If they were, that would be pure hell in the gaming community. SF, Sonic, FF being owned by Sony/Nintendo/MS jokes aside it would be :hhh:

This MS purchase is still just a huge investment to MS' bigger picture in making Gamepass the place to be. first wasting 30 mill on that blue haired punk, and now dropping 7 bill on Zeni?

Everybody been saying MS has F U money and this clearly proves it. I can only see one more company being bought out in this situation and that's Platinum games if their next self funded new IP fails.

The Truth
So they dropped this bomb a day before the pre-order starts :wow:


My gut feeling was right, returning to the Xbox next gen :ehh:


Game Pass will change the game like Netflix did for movies
I said that lackluster PS5 showcase left the door open for MSFT to knock it out the park.

They still can do a lil more but this was big news.

Again that's different, at least for me. Having console game exclusives are fine. I've never been mad at that and it only makes sense to a point.

Having game exclusive content is fine, as long as every system gets something different.

Having game exclusive context that only one system gets is whack. Short changing two other ecosystems that went out and bought your game so you can eat off a exclusive deal is whack.

It'd be better if the game was just an exclusive over all instead.

This transaction alone can bring Xbox back up to Sony’s level when it comes to games. Good for Microsoft.
