Like hogwarts legacy Jim?
Why would any of them care? Nintendo never really gets cod to begin with, Valve and epic are pc oriented and Stadia's got way bigger problems.Nintendo, Valve, Google, Epic Games etc doesn’t care. Only Sony is worried
The yougov poll around COD on GP is looking a bit more accurateYou know what I love about this is just how seriously Sony is taking this compared to some of the posters on this board who initially dismissed this as 'PS doesnt NEED CoD'. They will be fine they said. Clearly Sony themselves think this will destroy their business.
Love how they start talking about gamers in general to only focus on PlayStation gamers afterward.this deal would have major negative implications for gamers and the future of the gaming industry," the firm said in a statement to GamesIndustry.biz. "We want to guarantee PlayStation gamers continue to have the highest quality gaming experience
It will go through but with concessions and that's exactly what Sony want. Why do Sony want this deal to breeze through? It makes sense to make it difficult as possible and get the most they can. It will also put the brakes on MS buying anymore large publishers.After reviewing the math Sony is realizing how much market share MS will gain from the monopolistic move lol. Unfortunately Jim and company did this to themselves because the deal will go through so it's too late for them to flounder now.

Sony would be trying to buy Activision themselves if they had Microsofts money, make no mistake.Do you think Sony is hypocritical enough to make another acquisition while the process is going on and they complain about consolidation cutting off games?
My guess is yes they are.
I know. I'm like where the hell has this CMA been the entire time Sony has basically bankrolled third parties into skipping the Nintendo Switch with games like Persona and Monster Hunter World, etc. There's really no telling for how long Sony has been dropping benjamins to fuck over Nintendo fans.Love how they start talking about gamers in general to only focus on PlayStation gamers afterward.
I dont know. I dont know what Jimbo fears worse. Losing half of his revenue or sharing 30% of it with Microsoft while watching Phil undermine games like MLB The Show and CoD by offering them for free on gamepass on playstation.At the end of the day, it's a choice between ps Cod competing game pass COD. Why would Sony put themselves in that position?
Wouldn't be better to let call of duty go, then to let it advertise gamepass on a Playstation?
is it really that hard to just revive haze and make it a cod killer?
That’s why they don’t want this deal. Not because they want to “protect gamers” as if they wanted that they wouldn’t lock FF16.Do people not look at the charts. Cod is the highest seller on PS chart every year. No surprise sony will moan about losing it. They make tons of money off cod. They easily sell 15m consoles just to cod players alone.
The recently installed chair for the CMA appointed September 7th, 2022 was brought in SPECIFICALLY to fight against raising of prices during tough economic times. And what did Sony just do in the UK? Rose their prices.

Have they now? Post the contract so we can all have a look?I know.

If only Sony cared to “protect gamers” wallets by not increasing the prices of their games and console. The hypocrisy in this is really funny. Oh look bad Microsoft locking games to their system, yet Sony did it and will continue to do because it suits them. Fuck right off Sony.
Well, for me I primarily play on PS5 but I give 0 fuck about Cod but it just pisses me off how hypocritical Sony is.Sony and Xbox fanboys united in prayer. Just not for the same thing.

Dumbest comparison ever. Raising of gas/electricity prices by energy companies and he was brought in so that there is actual competition instead of price fixing. Do you think that we have price fixing in the console space especially when they are mostly loss-leaders with low supply? If you do you're delusional.The recently installed chair for the CMA appointed September 7th, 2022 was brought in SPECIFICALLY to fight against raising of prices during tough economic times.

Ask EA?is it really that hard to just revive haze and make it a cod killer?
They have all done it, and all continue to do it, which is why stuff like this from Sony is so cringe.Have they now? Post the contract so we can all have a look?
You sound a right hypocrite though as seeing as Nintendo did this practise well before Sony even entered the market.

You can't "kill" COD, but you can easily compete on the same level as it by making a great first person shooter that people will buy if it looks good enough The challenge is more how to handle the logistics of building an operation able to deliver them yearly or every 2 years, and how to successfully deliver the multiplayer side at a high level.
He should pass this amazing information onto EA and Dice. They will surely pay over the odds for this golden bit of adviceSenjutsu's done it again. He's figured it all out.
Easy peasy
They paid to keep Monster Hunter World off Switch but not Xbox? While Switch has exclusive Monster Hunters? I think you're lying.They have all done it, and all continue to do it, which is why stuff like this from Sony is so cringe.

Yeah they're already planning on going 3rd party.Translation : They're litterally shitting their pants right now![]()
Maybe it's you showing ignorance because clearly your a keyboard regulator. Maybe the CMA have information you don't did you think about that?A user is "gamer" when Sony says so (of course only the one who plays on Playstation)
It's hilarious to see Sony make a statement "in defense of gamers" un general and then end up wanting everything or the best only for their PlayStation users while continuing to annoy Xbox users using their position of dominance.
We will see how it all ends, but it is clear that the CMA in its manifest was only serving the financial interests of Sony and in no other way. Apart from showing a clear ignorance of the reality of the market.
I'm not sure what you're getting at moose, are you saying Sony doesnt monayhat games or am i missreading you?.They paid to keep Monster Hunter World off Switch but not Xbox? While Switch has exclusive Monster Hunters? I think you're lying.
World isn't on Switch because switch is a piece of garbage hardware wise.They have all done it, and all continue to do it, which is why stuff like this from Sony is so cringe.

Mr Kwarteng said: “Marcus will make an excellent addition to the CMA team, bolstering its work to promote competition and innovation to help grow our economy and ensure the best deals for consumers. There are many opportunities on the horizon and his appointment will help us to seize them.”
I know. I'm like where the hell has this CMA been the entire time Sony has basically bankrolled third parties into skipping the Nintendo Switch with games like Persona and Monster Hunter World, etc. There's really no telling for how long Sony has been dropping benjamins to fuck over Nintendo fans.
Did you not read the post you were replying to was talking about? Maybe I misread your original comment, I'm not sure.I'm not sure what you're getting at moose, are you saying Sony doesnt monayhat games or am i missreading you?.
My point was that they all have moneyhatted games, moneyhatted dlc, got exclusivity deals etc. Ninetndo was ridiculous with it in the Snes days.
Read what you wrote because you sound stupid. Sony don't own Square Enix. Nor do they own the FF IP. So it's not upto Sony to decide anything that's your first mistake. If your going to post a clever rebuttal at least get the right information and blame the owners of the IP.Protect the gamers? Absolutely crazy take from Sony. What about FFVII and FFXVI? You going to let Square Enix release them on Xbox? Didn’t think so.
More like protect the profits.
Though I agree with you about the exclusivity deals situation, one thing to note.Sony protecting gamers, while signing two year exclusivity deals.
