‘Either the deal is scraped in a blow to corporate hubris or Microsoft is forced to share with their competitors. The $69 billion would have been better served poaching talent, moneyhatting and building up successful I.P. from the start.’

This acquisition is starting to look like a horrible value for Microsoft :francis:

‘Developing’ =! Releasing

They also developed scalebound

Scalebound had no purposed release date or any other information except a trailer.

Xbox did more with these future releases with people actually played or seen behind close doors

Avowed
Hellblade
Starfield
Redfall
Forza motorsport
Outer Worlds 2
Inexile exclusives and more come on man

People want to play the results, not hear about them. Xbox games that have the WOW factor is barren when compared to its competition.

They just got the studios it take years. Microsoft was close to cutting Xbox off in 16. Phil came along and bough over 30 studios in 2018.

AAA takes 4 to 6 years to develop am I right???? The bullshyt statement doesn't mean anything anymore. They shown the developers and some of the AAA titles.

This is what I've been saying since the activision deal, just because they made public statements saying they won't make games exclusive doesn't mean they'll abide by those public statements.

People swear microsoft always intended to keep COD multiplat, but they're full of shyt. I been said they were saying the same shyt to get the Bethesda deal through regulators. Now they're under scrutiny because they've been spending too much money too fast and using PR speak to convince regulators that they aren't trying to create a monopoly.

And the scariest part is that after the activision deal, they haven't even spent half the amount they set aside for acquisitions, they can realistically buy every major 3rd party publisher and have money left over.

I’m hoping that whether this succeeds or fails that the big publisher buy outs officially over.
