He was also arguing with me earlier that Zenimax games will be decided on a "case by case" basis.
There’s a lot of selective reading in the documents leaked. To me the email from Jim Ryan demanding everything remains multiplat « in the interest of gamers » is the most egregious shit I’ve read recently.
Why is that egregious? Sony made Bungie games multiplatform. They are asking the same thing from Microsoft.
Click it man. It's worth the laugh.
"Made"? They already were, but I could give it to you if they made Final Fantasy 7R, its sequels and FF16 multi.
The funny thing is that here in GAF the opinion is strongly against MS, but in other places like Youtube I've seen the polar opposite, here it's "Sony is winning, MS is laughable", then in other places it's like "MS is winning, purchase is basically done because Sony shitshow", etc. lol
I think the majority of people who are classified as against MS, actually want to see MS succeed in a more creative ways (as opposed to brute force), and simply detest and push back against nonsense PR and what occasionally appears to be outright lies.
AFAIK even Bungie's Halo was an acquisition from Apple back in the day. Building up their own studios is something that MS was never really interested in.
It's all how you curate what you consume.
Yeah. the whole plan was not about more games for Xbox owners, but less for everyone else.
Do you know what conflict of interest is? It's enough to get most people out of the position and absolutely actionable, no matter who they are.
That’s the long and short of it.
They did..boehoe...whe are third place and whe are doing what whe can but whe cant do it like this. Sony is always outtbidding us for a timed excl deal..So whe made a plan to buy as many developers and publishers as whe can (MS is paying the bill) So first whe tell every whe want to bring theyr games on all platforms .
Marathon was already made exclusive? Or did Sony made it multiplatform?
Doesn’t apply in this case. Both FTC ajd MS respect her
I don't want any of them as this is how much I like Bethesda games.
Which one?
Reason for decline was simple. Activision charging way more than MS for deal. Market leaders get better deal.You want PlayStation gamers to support this acquisition that creates a direct risk for them? If they don't support it, they are "selfish?"
Regarding exclusive content, you should blame Microsoft that declined Activision's offer.
So fake outrage.I don't want any of them as this is how much I like Bethesda games.
It is a matter of principle and previous statements, that's it. The quality of the game should not be a factor.
You're complaining about no Spider-Man. Wait until you find out what cunt kept it off Xbox!
blessed and hilarious postIt also unmasked Microsoft shills
But I'm biased. I like Japanese games and don't want MS to Americanise the industry. Persona with fat girls lol.
idk mate, I feel like you may be getting a bit too emotionally invested in megacorporation pr drama
MS said no to Spiderman i know.You're complaining about no Spider-Man. Wait until you find out what cunt kept it off Xbox!
Can be said to you or anyone making argument in favour of Sony?
Im not making any pro sony statement, nor do I care too much about the future of sony. I do think that if MS were to succeed in their aims, the whole of the gaming landscape would suffer as a result.
I actually just want to see them fuck off at this point. Stick to Office or whatever.
While I hate Microsofts approach of buying out the market the fact is Sony needs a direct competitor. Giving Sony free reign will benefit no one and Sony arent saints themselves as we have seen when they go on their arrogant streak so aslong as the regulators do their job Microsoft is a necessary player in the market and if they manage to stop thinking of buying the damn market is the only solution maybe they can study their success during the 360gen when they actually kicked ass and made me buy their console.
but this is normal seemingly?
Not sure if you go back top the PS1 era but over the last decade it is basically only Bungie that is a straight acquisition. All others are organically grown - either at arm's length where Sony is their key partner that eventually become an acquisition (e.g., Housemarque) or as an internal daughter company from the start.
This is a disingenuous question as the Xbox brand launched over 20 years ago. This is not part of them launching Xbox, but rather paying to make up for their failures.
Lol you don't want to go there .
Yup. Marty O'Donnell said it best when he said something along the lines of getting Bungie out Microsoft but not getting Microsoft out of Bungie.
Jesus wept... No one bitched when MS bought Ninja Theory or Obsidian, even though they had no real history with those developers. They bitching now because MS has gone from buying developers to buying entire publishers with multiple studios and dozens of IPs - IPs that were all headed to to thier platforms anyway.
This is purely a clickbait article. Not surprised gaffers are latching onto it as the next GOTCHA.
-Backwards compatibility.
Yeah, a company taking care of their legacy games is such a non issue right? Oh and forward compatibility is a non issue when building a gaming library, right?
