Sensible gamers are supporting it. Only rabid fanboys on PS side are against it and FTC is heavily influenced by twitter fanboys and all the nonsense fed to them by Sony.

 

I dont understand how playing CoD for 10$ month is not a better deal than paying 70$, especially for a yearly franchise like COD.

 

Yeah, no. Anyone who has any foresight on what such acquisitions can lead to shouldn't be supporting this. It is way beyond just getting the game for cheap on Gamepass. Last thing anyone should wish for in gaming industry is further consolidation where there is minimal third party left and the power rests in the hands of select few. If Sony was looking to buy some other 3rd party publisher, I will be against that as well. We should wish for a healthy 3rd party ecosystem and for console makers to strengthen their existing studios instead of labeling trillion dollar companies as 'underdogs' and wish for them to gobble up huge publishers. If all you want is cheap games through Gamepass, might as well wish for MS to buy everyone. That will definitely account for a very 'healthy' gaming industry.

Ya buying publishers and studios is bad but money hatting 3rd party to get big exclusives to destroy the competition is good ? What sony did with death loop and ghostwire was fine ? Or the fact that they were going to get starfield also ? Had this happened not a word would have come out of anyone’s mouth and the argument would have been xbox did it during 360 days :thumbdown:.

 

consolidation of this scale is bad or good only time will tell but it surely looks bad when your rival console maker does it for sure and that is the fact no matter what you say. Also its laughable how hard you portray to be neutral.

you’re acting like Microsoft doesn’t have that option. They did this enough and more during Xbox 360 days.  The only difference is no one wants to a console exclusivity deal with Xbox because their console doesn’t sell and their brand equity is probably in the pits in most markets outside of the US.  Maybe Xbox should have figured out not to decline in its third year of launch with the series consoles. Maybe then someone will think of not releasing their game on PS for a limited time

I don’t disagree with activision having a different cost sharing agreement with Xbox Vs PS. The cost and time and energy spent to develop a game for either of those systems is the same yet the benefits that they’re able to reap out of being on the PS ecosystem is MUCH higher than Xbox (terrible sales, money conscious game pass users who refuse to buy games)

Pretty much this. Fanboys have a habit of ignoring the side they caress each day. Both MS and Sony. The deal has both good and bad -- just like exclusives do for Sony. Just looking at one side and beating the drums is a fools errand.

Yeah because the limited time exclusivity (a year) is EXACTLY the same as buying out publishers for indefinite exclusivity.  
 

Your fanboy glasses are tuned to the maximum so pls spare us this pretend unbiased stance.

I know you're used to short-form Shitter posts and probably can't read more than a couple of words before jacking off to Jim Ryan's photo but when you're outside of Shitter, please try to spare a couple of extra minutes to read. It'll be hard to begin with but you'll get there.

 

I never said the two are comparable or same. They both have their pros and cons. Again, I'm not saying they're comparable, they are what they are. If you ask me, I prefer proper exclusives over 1 year BS even though theoretically that's worse. To each his own.

People championing Sony exclusives suddenly have a change of heart about exclusives 😂

 

PC gaming rocks ! 

 

I'd rather this deal doesn't go through. Can't handle these ever-changing chameleons. :lol:

and I know you’re used to having Phil’s ding dong in your mouth considering your tendency to like only the shady PS posts from your fellow xcult members but nowhere did I see you mention anything off of the second paragraph.

 

Be a fanboy of whatever console or ecosystem you want to, I don’t care. What is extremely annoying and transparent with you is try way too hard to come across as an unbiased poster- which you aren’t. And that’s ok. Just drop the act. 
 

As someone who has had experience with both systems throughout the last 3 gens, I believe my views have more weight than a halo fanboy whose exposure to any game outside of that or the platform it comes on is negligible at best.

 

Now go ahead and jerk off to that Phil spencer shrine that you’ve set up in your parents’ basement. Kthxbye

Putting exclusive deals for solitary games and buying biggest 3rd party publisher on the same scale is stupidity of the highest order and I don't even need to explain to anyone when both are not the same thing.

This. 

 

Xbox has third party deals just like PS.

Scorn, Medium, Warhammer 40K, 12 Minutes, As Dusk Falls, The Ascent, Call of the Sea, Echo generation, Exomecha, falconeer, Gunk, Stalker 2 and more, were or still are timed exclusives to Xbox. Guess it's easier to ignore this and say buying a publisher and turning their sequels of previous mutliplat games into exclusives is the same thing.

Equivalent would be Sony buying publishers like Bandai Namco/Konami/Capcom/CDPR and turning sequels to RE, SF, MH, CP etc console exclusive to PS. I'm sure then people would go from calling Sony evil to Pure Evil, even though MS has already done this. (Before anyone climbs on my butt, clarifying that I'm not for either).
