Bird Bird Bird Posted January 18 Report Share Posted January 18 2 minutes ago, AnK said: sort,these companies were visibly in trouble & had reached a creative roadblock where they weren’t creating something new or groundbreaking. They willingly gave up business for a reason. Seriously ? Even with my sh*t knowledge about gaming, both Bethesda and Activision are money spinners, with some of the best IPs in business. A new CoD, Diablo etc will be instant sellers. As labelled in the document, MS has a very long term future vision in cloud and VR gaming (think Metaverse), and they are looking to be prepped for it. Maybe they missed the cloud mania early on (that's how competitors like Dropbox got big), and don't want to miss the next train to more power and money. Clearly subs like GP and O365 are proving that there's a huge market. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Culture generally takes a dump in front of money as long as you've good PR. Is it ok ? Nope. Is it common ? Yes. I don't know about others, but i do know some peeps working at MS, and they usually have good things to say about MS. Based on an extremely small sample size, looks like MS has a much better culture than A/B, so should be good news for the A/B employees in the long run.

Skryrim & probably maybe FO4 were their last golden goose Games like Doom aren't enough to keep things running Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

triggr happy ss Posted January 18 Report Share Posted January 18 Should expect games to be added to GP and new ones too even before the deal is done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The SP titles are taking the show forward. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AnK Posted January 18 Report Share Posted January 18 2 hours ago, Mr. Comingle said: Here's my totally outlandish prediction. MS will make acti blizz games exclusive to GP at some point and arm twist Sony into carrying GP on psn. Again, totally outlandish and could turn out to be completely false. Only if M$ wishes xbox to represent only a service & not a console system. Can't happen this gen but if Sony still ends up selling as much as they did with PS4 & Xbox Can't reach that status. Next gen maybe yeah they could come to terms with Sony sticking with hardware & M$ purely into Subscription/Publishing. I don't see a reason why anyone would buy an Xbox if GP & their games are on PS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swunkjyn Posted January 18 Report Share Posted January 18 So is COD coming to GPU. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Animus Posted January 18 Report Share Posted January 18 So, went through all the 10 pages....overall I feel 1) It's one crazy deal (70 f**king billion dollars) 2) Sony needs to get out its own Gamepass asap (probably with Day 1 exclusive title access) 3) Good that, I changed sides this generation and went with Xbox Series X. I no longer need to worry about buying games. 4) Who's next on must buy list? Ubisoft, EA, Take Two? 5) If MS is prepping for Metaverse.....what VR/AR/MR/XR devices are they relying on.......Holo Lens ? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
