Makes zero difference to me. Activision doesnt exist to me anymore, or the IPs.
Im not paying a penny to a company Bill Gates use to own and currently makes money off

If your down with Microsoft, then fuck you too lol

Nope.
OG xbox had a unique vibe to it that they ditched during the 360.
Old Sony (1&2) were great Japanese machines. 3 wasn't great, and starting to 4 they just became another microsoft.

I guess they just follow the market.
PS3 is an amazing system?? Peak playstation era

You do know Sony actually makes money off Cross-play as well? It wasn't a loss for them in the end..
Xbox needed cross play more than Sony did. They didnt have the same amount of players playing games.
Thats why the media made out Sony being the bad guy lol

I agree they did and Sony didn't wanna do it. But they made devs pay them for it in the end.

PS3 was PlayStation at it best and the lessons learned during that gen are pretty much what ensured the PS4 and PS5 success.

Demon's Souls, Uncharted, The Last of Us, Journey, Little Big Planet, Resistance, Infamous, Killzone 2, MGS4, Persona 5, so many key games that shaped Sony studios and future partners.

All this trouble just to end up doing the thing that was rumored to happen when the acquisition was first announced.

Genius use of resources.

Dude, that makes no fucking sense whatsoever.

Why so invested and tribal?

Chill and enjoy the games whatever plastic box they're on, or more associate with.

Invested because he’s a scumbag. Same reason I dont buy certain products Or like certain politicians.

Ill play Nintendo, Playstation, Valve, Apple. I just don’t like Microsoft or Bill Gates. And especially with how they operate. Nothing to do with plastic boxes lol

I agree. I have a fundamental disagreement with Microsoft's vision for the future where we have to pay them every month and can't buy things once and own them. Never give up ownership, otherwise you're just cattle to the corporation.

Why do you care so much that people don't like MS? There are plenty of reasons for a reasonable person to not want to support MS, if you are ignorant about them maybe do some research.

Why are you so emotional about this and take everything said against MS personally?

yeah, a PS that makes less money is great for SIE business and the community that values that business. Some of you guys kill me with this weak shit.
Calm down, I was kidding but who cares if SIE gets hurt when Microsoft would get hurt even worse. CoD is already on a decline and PS could speed the process up while helping their own live service push

The fact that they haven't fired Phil despite him basically lying every time he opens his mouth, constant failure to deliver great first party games for almost a decade, and the cultivation of a rabid fanbase that care more about "wins" than actually having excellent games to enjoy is just proof that they are not in gaming for the sake of gaming. They are there to convert the market into a tentacle of the Microsoft revenue monster.

Yep.
They are still complaining about FF16 being exclusive after buying 2 publishers, multiple studios and having there own 3rd party exclusives.

Once they realise it hasnt made a difference just like Bethesda, they will start begging for another publisher

The funny thing is the same people who are complaining about FF16 exclusivity are also dogging it as a shitty game

Best advice you can give folks that dont want to support this deal. You dont have to support MS, i sure as hell won't but at the same time i won't be telling Sony to walk away from cod cause that's just silly and for sony its like walking away from a winning lotto ticket they found on the street.
