Yup. Make your intentions clear from the start.

“We are willing to offer Candy Crush to be on Android and iOS for the next 10 years. It makes no sense to make it a Gamepass Exclusive” - MS, in the near future.
"We believe in generations."

Also, extending exclusivity deals, not saying if games are coming to other platforms or when, etc. Goes both ways.

61% of PlayStation owners would move onto something else if cod becomes Xbox/pc exclusive?



But even such a partial lockdown scenario might be unlikely, if a low number of players are willing to migrate from PlayStation to Xbox as a result of the lockdown. In this sense, the results of the Survey – implemented by this Division to Chilean video game consumers – shed light on the willingness of players to change their device, given the supposed unavailability of Call of Duty on Sony consoles. The data from the Survey shows that 61% of console players, faced with a scenario of unavailability of Call of Duty, would opt for a different video game, and only 20% would opt to switch to another device.
I believe that the survey also noted that the same people noted that GTA was seen as more essential:

Similarly, when asked: "Based on your experience as a video game player, rate the following contents from essential to highly dispensable", 65% considered the title Grand Theft Auto essential or not dispensable, and 62 % expressed such opinion regarding Call of Duty. It should be noted that these results are even more telling, considering that the respondent base was made up of Call of Duty players and not necessarily Grand Theft Auto players. Thus, the importance of Gran Theft Auto could be underestimated in view of those who make up the Survey sample.

Which makes no difference what so ever to what I said.

If you want to talk about people shutting up then those are Sony. Their response to this has been nothing short of hysterical and downright pathetic.

Your point here doesn't even hold up. When did Mobile users have access to Skyrim? They do now. MS has already committed to putting COD on Nintendo and Keeping it on PC and Playstation. That = more access for more gamers. So, your point is about as ridiculous as Sony's childish crying.

Also, just to drive this home because you and the pony gang keep forgetting this, Mobile gamer numbers dwarf Playstation gamer numbers. All these games from these new purchases will be available to 10x the amount of gamers thanks to Xbox.

Not saying there won't be any good coming out of this acquisition but there's also some bad because you're taking away existing fans from the userbase.

Yay mobile I guess but bad for the platforms that aren't getting ES.

Doesn't matter if mobile gamers are more, you're still taking away from millions of existing PlayStation users that played the series. Just because there's more doesn't mean it's right to do it.

MS making games available to more gamers...Billions more.

Sony still doing everything they can to keep as many games as they can away from gamers not on their console.

The irony is the gang of ponies getting pissed at the wrong company. It is the mighty all good Sony who do what you complain about. The hypocrisy is they only complain when their precious is on the wrong end of the stick.

So it's okay to take away from millions because billions of mobile gamers who probably won't beat the game can try it. Okay 😆

Never said that.

All I did was point out that they are in actual fact doing exactly what they say they are doing. You ponies don't like it and are just talking nonsense, ignoring facts, and making false claims, because your precious isn't the be all end all in their plans. All, while I might add, while your precious platform is doing the very thing you complain about. lol.

You mean like how millions of PS gamers don't beat their games? lol. Hypocrisy much.
 
I cant see what A/B/K games would go exclusive. It’s definitely not COD, it would hurt cod more than fans and Sony. Although it may save them some money with development and maybe release more stable games. But then that may be bad for some key devs as they may lose their job for working /porting to another console. Then again said same devs could go on to form a new team, be it within their studio or start a new one. Would help the other teams by adding a year for development or they could just make a new ip, and it doesn’t even need to be a fps.

Besides maybe new ip going exclusive, what old A/B/K ips would/could work as exclusive to Xbox and pc?

Probably all single player games.

That's basically what you're saying.

Because it's benefitting billions of potential mobile players , it's okay to take away from millions of PS.

There's no nonsense in that. Those are the facts you're trying to spin.

No i'm not. Never said that at all.

You lot are claiming MS lied. They didn't. That is fact. End of. You can keep trying to spin all you like, but the fact doesn't change. Trying to claim I'm saying something I'm not doesn't change the fact either.

The simple fact you can't just accept it is a perfect example of the nonsense train the pony gang are on.
 
I wish TDbank was still around. He'd tell you guys what's up and not play favorites.
Here's my best impression:

"Only on Xbox, the best place to play. Microsoft continues to come out on top!!"

Then next week:

"It makes sense, Playstation is king and always will be. Sony is the best in the business!!"

At first I thought it was his sense of humor. As time went on, I think that was serious.

Spending $7 billion on Bethesda and taking games away didn't make much sense either but they did it. With the slow output from Bethesda's main studio it's going to take a long time to make that money back. Especially when game pass severely limits 1st party AAA game sales (NPD backs that up) and game pass itself isn't bringing in that much money.

Never said they lied. But they are constantly going back and forth on what they are saying. Just part of the game. It's okay to point that out when it happens on both sides.

Yes you did, and so has several others here.

See, you just said they lie. They aren't going back and fourth over anything. They said what they said and they are doing exactly that. With both Bethesda and Activision they have done nothing but what they said they would.

The problem is it isn't happening on MS side. Ponies think it is because they ignore facts and try to make wild connections between comments. The only company being wishy washy and all over the place is Sony. Their nonsense is hypocritical as f***.

More access means expanding not taking away.

Nope, I said they are flip flopping. One year, Phil says exclusives are counter to what gaming is about (then why are they making Starfield, Redfall, ES6 etc. (historically multiplatform) exclusive then? The next year it's buying up publishers to make them Xbox exclusive, like hello? It's not hard to see the contradiction here.
