Microsoft says 10 years is ‘sufficient for Sony to develop Call of Duty alternatives’

Between the Redfall shyt and this. Microsoft not making themselves look good in this. Seems like they has ulterior motives from the jump.

Everyone knew this lol.

Sony should just buy rockstar games to retaliate, and tell MS "say bye bye to red dead, and GTA bytches"

Would be hilarious but Sony can’t afford Rockstar.

Sony literally can't afford to buy anything on that level. And even if they could, Microsoft would just buy another big publisher like EA in response.

I would take Rockstar over EA tho...

Depends. Hopefully Microsoft doesn't buy either. Rockstar has long lead times between games typically, so they should be safe from any sort of Microsoft acquisition. EA might cause anti-trust to get involved if Microsoft were snooping around them.

They'd have to put the entire company in the red for a publisher that makes 1 game every generation, Microsoft is spending play money. Sony can't compete with microsoft on that level.

Sony better toss some money at EA/Dice/Respawn to make them an exclusive FPS if that's the case.

Why…?

They own Bungie.

Ehhh. Not the same studio it once was; a lot of people have left from when they created Halo.

The core left when they became indy again. Some took the MS bag and stayed to keep making Halos.

People are acting like this personally affect them

Destiny 2 is one of the top 10 most successful live service games of all time

 

[Trapperman Dave]

Well sony should have been making more mp games so they wouldn’t have to rely heavily on CoD. Time for the acquired studios to put in some work

You can't just "make" a Call of Duty alternative, just like you can't make a GTA alternative. You can make an extremely high-quality game and it could sell well, but it takes more than that for it to become a cultural phenomenon.

Saints Row was well on its way to being a GTA alternative if not better but they chose to go with non funny humor instead

Well then, get to working Microsoft. 10 years is plenty of time.
