AnK Posted April 24, 2022 Report Share Posted April 24, 2022 (edited) I don’t think Google & Amazon is showing even slightest interest in the gaming space as it was predicted they would. It’s all Sony Vs M$ Vs Steam Vs Nintendo. Edited April 24, 2022 by AnK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All of them have not released a mega hit for years and having development issues for years. Same goes for other western studios like Warner Bros and Microsoft.

And by not doing good I don’t mean selling like hot cakes or making money,that they obviously were but in the larger picture it was a downwards trend for them…their market value would have gone just downwards from here so it was right time for stake holders to cash it in. As for changing the landscape of gaming,that obviously will happen & it would have happened & was happening anyway. We as gamers were getting nothing really good out of it…..same stale & deteriorating state of games no matter where you look for it(Except Sony & Nintendo obviously). EA,UBI,2K be it anybody left are/were just churning out bullshit after another. Acti-Bliz & Bathesda were on the same lines. DeadSpace dead Mass Effect dead Dragon Age Dead COD as good as dead (except MW reboot) Fallout dead(after 76) Assassin’s Creed dead (Atleast creatively) & same with Watchdogs. & the most disturbing fact of all is what became of our beloved GTA. These companies have struck a creative dead end & obviously can’t think beyond their safe & stale bets because of the risk & cost of those risks in AAA gaming involved today. It’s a twilight indeed & it had to go one way or another. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even the studios they acquired in 2018 have not yet put out any major games. There is a mela every time a new acquisition is made, major fanboy wars for weeks afterwards, and then the hype dies down. No games, unless it was already in development and announced before acquisition, and no news unless the studio is in controversy (a.k.a Acti-Blizz). I wonder what happened to Avowed and Fable. I was looking forward to those. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KnackChap Posted April 30, 2022 Report Share Posted April 30, 2022 Will be interesting to see if the studios are sold seperately or all together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AnK Posted April 30, 2022 Report Share Posted April 30, 2022 If the licensing fee of DC & Harry Porter franchises are just too high that making exclusive doesn’t even make sense (like MLB) then I don’t think Sony would be interested. Or maybe they would just to keep it multiplatform & out of M$ hands who would most certainly use GamesPass advantage if not outright exclusive. Things are really really one sided lately with every other publisher dying a creative death & M$ suddenly not worried about making money.

Established ip wont be exclusive ,then only the acquisition will go through i think. Only New original content will be exclusive. Edit : bethesda ips dont count in this beacuse it was an unprecedented acquisition ,but with ABK and future acquisitions FTC will ensure that .

AnK Posted April 30, 2022 Report Share Posted April 30, 2022 Lol yeah expecting any of the WB studios to come up with original content is like expecting North Korea to come up with an effective vaccine of its own. For years they have done nothing but make DC,Lord Of the Rings,Mad Max or Harry Potter games. It only makes sense for M$ as right now it only wants content for GamesPass & not Money. Sony will invest only to block that from happening. With every other major publishing house entering a creative roadblock & losing sales all Sony can do is linger on its market share for as long as possible. Google’s & Amazon’s lack of interest beyond the initial cloud portal investment is also not a good sign. Gaming industry could be heading towards a slump & M$ is best positioned to capitalise on it.

AnK Posted April 30, 2022 Report Share Posted April 30, 2022 Sony working inclusively since the start of PS3 gen is sort of coming to haunt them at this stage. They didn’t have any foresight of what would become of their business if major Japanese & Western publishers like SE,Konami,Sega,Capcom,Actiblizzard,Bathesda,WB,UBi would dry up one day. Specially when there was a player like M$ around with the cost absorption capacity that it has. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
