Brazil basically saying its not our job to make Sony the leader is on point.
 
No, people just don't want to see a mega corporation start buying up the industry, especially one that's been trying mostly the right way for 20 years and hasn't been able to bring the majority of gamers to their product. It's leadership and lack of vision at MS that's the problem, they have a goal but they can't figure out how to make it happen so they just buy things instead.

Their way of dealing with a lack of exclusives isn't to create more high quality first party games like it should be they are now just resorting to buying a bunch of existing multiplatform devs/pubs/IP and taking their games and making them exclusive. That's not good for the industry, that's not creative that's just a predatory practice that shouldn't be allowed.

It's bad enough when Sony and MS buy timed exclusivity for games, neither one should do that but to just start taking over everything because you made a lot of money in other areas of business shouldn't be something people cheer on.
They haven't been "doing it the right way" for 20 years either. Jesus christ dude, from 2011 to 2018 Xbox got rid of more studios than they made/bought. Lol.

But sure, keep pushing your BS narrative.

Sony bought 12 studios in the last 3 years or so. Funny how you don't say anything about that. Half of sony's studios are bought studios, lol. Lets ignore that, though.

You know what shouldn't be cheered? It isn't about a company growing and creating competition, something you ponies always say, "competition is good." But only when PS dominates it seems. No, what shouldn't be cheered is Sony's blatant anti-consumerism.
 
“Look we know you’re a mega corporation and all… but you are not allowed to use your money to get ahead in this industry. Oh that’s Sony they’re allowed…”
How do they do that? You guys keep making these silly claims but never back them up. Sony didn't buy up the industry Sony took it over by offering the products the majority of gamers wanted. They came in and beat Nintendo and Sega and then MS came in and Sony beat them every time too even when they made idiotic choices.

No it isn't, it's the regulatory bodies job to make sure companies play by the rules, coming in and undercutting the competition until you bleed them dry is generally not considered a good business practice, some places have things called laws against that lol.

The point is if you don't stop this now when do you stop it? When they try to buy EA? Ubisoft? how many big publishers are left? The Japanese publishers would be more difficult but how many big western publishers will be left? What if MS buys them all, will that make you guys happy? lol.

The only real concern from Sony's side is losing the COD deal.

So basically as long as Sony stays number 1 and MS doesn’t buy up the industry you’ll be fine. Not our fault everyone of your posts is a Sony cheerleader and MS cryer.

“But but they spendz their moneyz and didn’t take over the industry the Sony way!”

Errr....you stop it when it becomes a market issue, which this is not. Lol.

Simple fact is you have no point. All you have is an ill thought out narrative that simply doesn't exist.
 
According to the official Game Pass website, Deathloop is the 12th most played Game Pass game right now. 😂

The same time we all have to stop Sony from currently doing the same.
 
Obviously Microsoft is better than Saudi Arabia or Tencent but if they didn't exist the corporate cheerleading would still be just as high so its a convenient excuse.

So MS can only become number one by buying up the industry? funny thing for you to admit but it seems to be true based on past performance.

As far as cheerleading the same can be said for many of you (especially you) just in reverse so you don't have a leg to stand on in that kind of debate.

The deal isn't the issue it's losing the game completely, they make millions of dollars off of that game and they would be idiots to not fight to keep that, they probably won't win but it would be irresponsible for them not to try. People here acting like children thinking it's about "crying" or "whining" nonsense, it's business.

So you just admitted you’re a Sony cheerleader. Tell us something we didn’t know.

You don't know they are going to lose the game completely. By the sounds of it MS will look to bring the series back to Switch which means... more people can actually play it.

Again all Sony are definitely going to lose is exclusive content and advertising.

The scary thing is, Nintendo dominates Sony and MS on the game front and hasn't needed Call of Duty. Now, put COD on the Switch....oh boy...

Hopefully there won’t be anymore exclusive content that’ll gate players away, we aren't dogs
