They already bought zenimax, and they got a partnership with MS for gaming using azure….even though we’ve yet to hear anything new.
I’m sure it’ll go through tho…it’s not like Sony is gambit trowing poo that’s been super charged
What kinda gets me is how everyone is saying, "Microsoft had 20 years to cultivate and grow their developers. They don't need ABK!"
But, like, hasn't Sony been in the game over 20 years? And why don't they have at least ONE competing FPS that can, at the very least "compete" with CoD - even being the market leader for every. Single. One of those years!
They don't even have a FPS (after 20+ years) to throw in the ring with other FPS to lose with! Got damn! Not even for Halo (supposedly a massively irrelevant IP these days)
Why after 20 years as market leader, don't they have a Gamepass service that trump's Gamepass? They even had theirs first, and it's still subpar after 20. Freaking. YEARS!
Why doesn't Sony, again, after 20 years as market leader, don't they have anything REMOTELY resembling a cloud infrastructure? They've been killing it in the business for this long??? And still don't have anything for Azure??
And you'd think as being market leader for this long, they could've AT LEAST threw in a counter offer to the ABK deal. They couldn't even step onto the playing field. Let alone make any counter offer worth a s***. Instead, they have to run behind the FTC to help block the deal! YOU'VE HAD TWENTY FVCKIN' YEARS, YO! GET RICH, FFS!
This is why I stand by this deal. Microsoft made mistakes. But they are working to fix them, even if they have to purchase [willing] participants with years of experience to help them do it. It's not their problem Sony leans heavy on an IP that wasn't theirs to begin with.
Sony is like the college kid who gets to stay in his rich friends summer house for the summer, gets comfortable, and then gets mad when his friend says, "summer's over bro! Time to go! Plus, I found a buyer."
Sorry for the rant. Had to release though
