It's been 5 years since they bought those e3 2018 studios, and none of then have their AAA gameplay ready... gears 5 was on 2019. Halo Infinite took a whole gen to be made and it died.
They are trying to use Sony's marketshare as an excuse for the deal because of their misses in their last two generations. It's so embarassing, and it would be more if they still can't compete with ABK on their belt, which they're still smaller than playstation in revenue and that would be less if they decide to cut revenue from abK on ps consoles.
Sony will get another publisher and they will be left out again. It's a cycle that should be stopped and MS should just compete with the biggest amount of studios any console holder has.
This is the last acquired publisher by MS so I'm not worried about a money gunfight. Xbox lost 3 and got a tie (if you don't count the wii) in 4 generations even with all that money. Fortnite didn't come from a trillion dollar company.
Sony will sue and win if they aren't allowed to buy 1 or 2 mid size publishers if this goes through. They will get 1 or 2 publishers if this goes through. Blame xbox, because sony was fine with what they had for studios, but losing 2 publishers will change their minds. I'm thinking Square and Capcom would be the targets. They have the closest relationship with them atm.
And they can def buy both. Take two bought Zynga, a company almost as valuable as them.
No matter how much evidence there is that gamepass is bad for AAA day 1 games, unless the game is expected to not be good, you still think how you think. Anyways. Proof is the pudding.
Every third party AAA that has a day 1 release on gamepass, has been mid at 100% rate. It's not me, the facts and scores are there. It gives me an idea if the game will be good or not. It costs $70 on ps5? Doesn't matter because I wasn't even going to play it for free. Lots and lots of games this year.
I know I brought xbox into the scene, but I'm just saying that's how I know I won't be spending $ on the game.
I would be really surprised if Wo Long ends up on the 70s. Gosh I hope not.

I don't trust the 10 year thing. They might sabotage the ps version is someway

I think MS should just be fine with Blizzard and King and let Activision go.
Wow, Starcraft, Diablo and Overwatch are still things good for MS. Will give them an edge on PC... and mobile with King.

I don't think ABK's is on the same level of a few Spider-Man games. That's also on Disney's part. Not MS with MS.

People who cry about spiderman make my eyes roll.
They own the movie rights. They can do whatever the hell they want lol. Exchange that for game exclusivity.

Re: Sony Must Share Details of Exclusivity Deals with Microsoft in FTC's Court Hearing
All I know, if this goes through, there is no reason Sony should be blocked of buying a Publisher.
I don't think Square alone will make Sony happy.
Re: Sony Must Share Details of Exclusivity Deals with Microsoft in FTC's Court Hearing
Is MS algo giving theirs too?
Re: Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty (PS5) - Excellent Action RPG a Must Play for Masochists

Re: TV Show Review: The Last of Us (HBO) Episode 7 - Emotional Mall Trip Is a Stunner
@LifeGirl
My problem is the show barely has action (gameplay scenarios) and I didn't like some of the changes/focus on things.
It's a 9 for me.
Re: TV Show Review: The Last of Us (HBO) Episode 7 - Emotional Mall Trip Is a Stunner
I think episode 4 is the only one that didn't make me cry.
Re: Poll: Did You Love Sony's Latest State of Play Livestream?
@Mintie
I don't think so.
Capcom was in shambles during that time. Xbox tried to buy them.

The majoriry didn't like it (looking at twitter and neogaff too). I'm just explaining why.
Re: Reaction: Sony Continues to Fumble the State of Play Format
@Titntin
We don't care we get what they told we would get. We haven't had a good showcase since more than a year and this is how people are feeling.
Re: Reaction: Sony Continues to Fumble the State of Play Format
@JohnnyShoulder
I don't expect anything smart from that camp.
@JayJ
I thought you hated pushsquare. Hopefully this article doesn't fade in your head, like it did with the others.
Re: Reaction: Sony Continues to Fumble the State of Play Format
Sony should send this state of play to the regulators and they block the deal.
Re: Reaction: Sony Continues to Fumble the State of Play Format
Whoever said Pushsquare doesn't talk bad about sony. Here ya go.

Capcom will be this year publisher. They also have Pragmata.
Re: Poll: Did You Love Sony's Latest State of Play Livestream?
That was so horrible lol.
Justice League could've been its own state of play and that was it lol.
Re4 and sf6 look great, but we've seen more than enough from them.
So where the hell are the first party games? Are we really going to wait until freaking June?!!!!

Re: Xbox on Charm Offensive to Push $69 Billion Activision Acquisition Through
I want it to go through only if they let sony get a smaller publisher.
Xbox has 23 studios, more than Playstation's. It's 20 times bigger than sony. It's their own fault they can't compete.
I kind of want it to go through since I'm scared they'll go for another one (hopefully Ubisoft), like Capcom/god

Re: Atomic Heart (PS5) - Alt History Shooter with an Identity Crisis

But square enix is just FF at this point. That's their proud child.
Re: Atomic Heart (PS5) - Alt History Shooter with an Identity Crisis
@Gamer83
To be fair, forspoken also looked mid. I keep the same energy. Also most people here were skeptical too.
I would say the same for ME for killzone, death stranding, days gone etc.

Re: Atomic Heart (PS5) - Alt History Shooter with an Identity Crisis
@Casco
MLB pushes the game to be on gamepass.
It's not that high of a score either. Think it was in high 70s, almost 80.
You are just proving my point.
So you agree with plague tale and mh rise.
Again. 100% rate so far.
Re: Atomic Heart (PS5) - Alt History Shooter with an Identity Crisis
@Loamy
I thought it was AAA.
Well, I bet it will be another 70s game.
Re: Atomic Heart (PS5) - Alt History Shooter with an Identity Crisis
@awp69
Mh rise had its sales on switch already.
Plague Tale is AA and I played it and it wasn't that good.
MLB show is an MLB forced thing.
So 100% rate, whether you like it or not.

Re: MultiVersus Daily Peak Player Count Down 99% Since Launch

Cuz most people play those over sp. At best, out of 100m PS, only 20m can only say sp on the regular. Maybe.
Re: MultiVersus Daily Peak Player Count Down 99% Since Launch

That's true tho. S2 grind is too much, and I'm mostly playing to get the challenges.
