Phil spencer answers and shuts down sony stans burning questions and concerns

[MeachTheMonster]

No, to compare this to the activision purchase would be akin to Sony purchasing Marvel not just Spider-Man

It’s obviously not a one to one comparison. but the result is the same.

A large portion of gamers are locked out form ever playing a spiderman game.

In the activision deal the game isn’t even being pulled from anyone. It will be available to MORE people.

If we are talking about effects to the consumer and or Market what happened with spider-man was way worse than what microsoft is proposing with COD.

I’m talking about the studios Sony has purchased.

So you would be ok if microsoft just purchased COD to keep it off playstation? Or if they just purchased the Activision owned studios one by one and kept their games off playstation??

But you have a problem with microsoft buying Activision and making their games available to literally EVERYBODY



That shyt don’t make any kind of logical sense which is why it said y’all “concern” is just console wars nonsense.

If you want COD games to be widely available with a stable business plan going forward you would be BEGGING for this deal to go through. But that ain’t what you want. You just want Sony to “win” so you twist your brain into all theses fake ass “concerns” that Sony themselves or anyone else in the market doesn’t even have.

Bruh enough with the “you just want Sony to win” argument it’s not getting you anywhere.

We have examples of MS moving future games from developers/publishers they’ve purchased going exclusive (starfield, elder scrolls 4, Rare, etc)

Quit acting like they don’t plan on doing it again.

Stop, buying Marvel and buying Spider-Man alone is nowhere near the same thing.

This isn’t simply a studio purchase we’re looking at.

When things don’t add up logically you gotta look elsewhere for answers.

We also have examples of them NOT taking games away from other platforms

Which is why in this case they have signed contracts to bring the game to every platform under the sun.

Your concerns should be alleviated

Can spider-man the character be played on any other console? Hell sony even paid to not let spider-man be in other marvel games that do come out on other consoles.

The IP is what matters.

If Microsoft was buying Activision but they didn’t get the COD IP nobody would say a thing. In fact that’s what regulators have suggested microsoft do.

A single ip vs all of the ips under marvel. Do you see the difference?

Do you understand how many developers and studios are under activision?

But it’s not just CoD, and CoD isn’t made by a single development studio

Aight folks, activision doesn’t own any other ips outside of CoD. You got me.

No.

Sony and the regulators are not concerned with any of those other games.
