I think this deal is great for Nintendo, as they will get COD games for the next 10 years, but bad for Sony because they didn't sign that 10-year contract with Microsoft, and they could potentially lose COD games on their system anytime because Microsoft isn't obliged to release COD for Sony platforms.

I mean, we have their documents saying exactly that. I have no idea why people pretend it's something else.

Because they have the reading comprehension of a five-year old.

Sorry not sorry. At this point they are just being purposefully disingenuous. So, I'm going to treat them like they have the reading skills of a five-year old. It's what they want, it's what I'll give 'em.

I don't think they lack reading comprehension. They just don't care.

Game Pass is going to become the Netflix of videogames. First, people are going to praise it for the abundant amount of content for an affordable price but then they will keep jacking up the price to a point where the savings is negligible unless you game like a jobless neckbeard. But unlikely TV streaming, making videogames takes way more time so it will be way more difficult to compete with MS’s library of games as they keep acquiring studios, and when their cloud tech matures, they’ll have absolute dominance in that segment. This is only my speculation but I dont have a good feeling about this.

I think it’s a very predictable outcome and exactly what MS wants.

If it was about killing Sony then buting Activision Blizzard, which devotes only one third of itself to consoles, is a terrible way of going about it.
They literally said they wanted to kill Sony


The comment about saying they didnt go through with it, is like being caught robbing a bank and then saying those bank robbing plans we had was just an after thought lol

I think it will fail. Video game production takes way more management and production chops than a film or tv show, something that Microsoft already lacks. The problem is that Bobby Kotick and Jim Ryan are right: game pass destroys the value of games. Microsoft is aiming to permanently change consumer behavior in gaming, even if it means they lose a shitton of money, just to make sure that no one else can survive. They would rather nuke the industry into the ground than let other companies succeed without them.

MS will try to do so. Anyone believing otherwise is being either naive or dumb.

They have 3 trillion and its going up. All they need is a few publishers to make things really hard for PS unless PS changes its strategy moving forward knowing this

"We are able to spend Sony out of business" is very different from "we will spend Sony out of business."

Don’t be naive. They have been doing this since the Bethesda stuff. They’ll keep doing it if they can. It’s what Microsoft do.
They’re the Succession company from real life.

no one can cry has harder as you cuco,you are the epitome of that
You sound like a little baby when you call people "cuco". What does that shit even mean. Of course your consistent lack of grammar and punctuation doesn't help either. Its like reading a five year old's dribble.
