So you just make up sony stan doomsday scenarios in your head despite the reality in your face and pretend sony hasn’t been trying to kill off competition for years by buying content.

Sony stans are a wild bunch :mjlol:
You just admitted that Sony wasn't doing anything microsoft wasn't already doing, but now they're trying to kill off competition, I'm done arguing with you.

2 of these studios work on the same franchise that found success on the original xbox, the coalition has been making gears of War games for how long? Will microsoft ever allow those 3 studios to do anything else? Or will they have to leave like bungie to create something different. rare was regulated to bullshyt kinect games until sea of thieves, which was a budget title that nobody had faith in.
More sony stan fan fiction.

Sea of thieves was and is not a budget title. Rare had/has the largest studio and budget they’ve ever had working on SOT.

When is sony gonna let Polyphony or SSM make a new IP.

Naughty Dog been working on the same franchise for a decade now. They can’t get away from it, even making a remake of a remake of a 10 year old game.

When is sony gonna let them make a new franchise??

Have sony stan blinders on brehs :mjlol:

You know what time it was when the acquisition was announced and the first IPs that Phil mentioned bringing back were guitar hero and king's quest.
They don't care about anything that's hasn't already been established as major AAA IPs. Bethesda will never get the chance to make another new IP like Starfield under Microsoft. Those studios will be making Elder Scrolls, fallout, and doom games until the industry collapses.

For sony it’s always been a war of attrition. They helped kill dreamcast. They tried to kill nintendo. And they’ve been slowly trying to starve microsoft since day one with shyt like GTA3.

Difference is i ain’t in here crying about it. It’s all part of the game. That’s competition. Only you stan’s catch feeling over this stuff and get “concerned”

Thats why sony said it’s impossible to make another shooter on that scale because literally have Activision studio works on it now. Acitivison is basically a Call of Duty machine

Lmao Sony would know. COD is the reason they left the shooter space. Look at how much money MS is wasting tryna compete with COD and they cant even come close to the worst CODs.

You never seen a game like COD before that does literally everything good-to-amazing in its genre.

They’ve purchased more studios that don’t have established AAA games.

This is more of your sony stan fan fiction. Every post is a doozy with you.

Even within the acquisitions of Bethesda and Activision there’s lots of smaller studios that would have probably had to close if not for the acquisitions. All you see is COD and Elder scrolls and forget about the toms of smaller studios and franchises who now have financial security to create what they want to.

The studios they’ve already purchase have all came out and said the acquisition gives them MORE freedom.

But alas you will continue to make up doomsday scenarios in your sony stand little head :mjlol:

That's true, but a lot of these IPs that MS acquired dont have a mascot or face.

They technically can make completely brand new games, and they'll be under the "Elder Scrolls" name, or "Doom" name. Pretty much exactly what COD does, and even what Final Fantasy does to an extent. Wtf is Elder Scrolls and Doom at the end of the day? Generic medieval fantasy IP and an arcadey shooter that involves cac music and shooting demons from hell.

New IPs are a huge risk, and MS has seen failure after failure with launching new IPs. What they're doing with this acquisition is buying the pipeline that Sony has with their 1P, and they're going to figure out how to make good games by buying the teams who are successful at making great games with successful and established IPs. They're going to be Disney where they rely on spinning existing and acquired IPs instead of taking risks with brand new IPs.
