Did a quick google to find out that most profitable franchise for Sony is not a playstation exclusive. It is Fate Grand Order mobile game where they have made about $5.5 Billion since its launch about 4 years back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psinide Posted January 18 Report Share Posted January 18 14 minutes ago, AnK said: Lmao M$ is pretty much buying every other publishing house that is failing to stay afloat. Good for gaming in a sense that these companies would have gone down in productivity or even shut shop in the future. Now atleast they'll continue to churn out Subscription quality games. The future dynamics of AAA gaming are going through a twilight it seems. Activision Blizzard struggling to stay afloat? What have you been smoking? Kotick and co. have been scamming gamers and minting money. At least now hoping their games come to GPU, the scampass gang can start scamming them back Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnK Posted January 18 Report Share Posted January 18 2 minutes ago, Mr. Comingle said: They still own the game. Can totally put it on game pass. I doubt a dev would have a call on that. No,it doesn’t work that way It can show up,but they’ll have to make a deal with Fromsoftware. Maybe they don’t have to negotiate publisher’s royalties anymore but have to pay From if they want it on GP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The IP is owned by From, its not Activision's property. Whether it appears on GP or not is different story. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean they do want that mobile money but it's not like Activision isn't making money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah but that specific game is funded by Acti. Publishing rights would ideally include pricing decisions including whether that game will be on gamepass.

ZooZoo Posted January 18 Report Share Posted January 18 It kinda aligns with their strategy of cloud gaming. They can bring in those subscriptions to billions of mobile gamers and then literally print money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm 100% sure sekiro will land on GP and you can quote me on that. Have 0% in hypothetical discussions on business contracts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its still up to the IP owner (like Bungie) to decide how much it costs and where it appears beyond initial contract. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I said it’s better than shutting shop but sort of a twilight for the sort of games traditional core gamers have been enjoying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People don't talk about it much (and non-existent here) but it is biggest industry. Most AAA/exclusives don't even reach what mobile games make.
