What's more interesting to me they knew sony was gonna get housemarque based on that email they knew at least a month before.Looks like Tom Warren missed the console & PC top candidates for consideration list.
I remember "insiders" mentioning a ton of acquisitions in 2021. I wonder if this is the document they were referring to. I remember mentions of Crytek.Looks like Tom Warren missed the console & PC top candidates for consideration list.
Them buying Housemarque certainly would have been an interesting situation.Looks like Tom Warren missed the console & PC top candidates for consideration list.
Exactly what I thought would be happen.Na, nothing would change for Sega other than games being available on Xbox.
There is always this weird fascination with how Sony doing these deals is better than anything else. I think that people are generally being dishonest.
It's all good, I'm trying to downplay that at all. I get that these services have a long way to go. Was just a factor in the overall picture I was painting, that gaming accessibility is growing and not shrinking. That Spotify bit sucks big time too (I'm happy you have access now), though as a fan of Rock Band, I've heard nothing fun about trying to license music and how weird some music rights holders can be so I'm certainly not surprised.
Because that's definitely something the company that was planning to acquisition the competition out of the industry would do. Sure.Na, nothing would change for Sega other than games being available on Xbox.
Imagine Larian, Bethesda, Obsidian, and InXile all under the same roof.Looks like Tom Warren missed the console & PC top candidates for consideration list.
Cool, except Sony doesn't have the same amount of money and the same amount of power Microsoft has and it's high time people stopped comparing the two, as there are hardly any companies that can compete with Microsoft on that front. Sony and their investors would want it be as big as Microsoft but they are far from achieving the same level if ever.
What Sony doesn't have in money, they have in global market share and being ingrained into many regions. Somethings money simply can't buy.
why is this an oof yikes
The post a bit above says no existing franchise would be developed exclusively..
I feel incredibly vindicated right now, I was saying this years ago in the Xbox OT when the SEGA rumors were hot and heavy.Na, nothing would change for Sega other than games being available on Xbox.
Er. How, Microsoft's main issue is that they otherwise let studios develop whatever they want however they want, being on PlayStation isn't super critical.
These aren't leaked. They're in the evidence folder that both sides upload evidence to.
They literally bought Bethesda and canceled Starfield's PS5 version, soooo.
Oh, you could buy that if you wanted to, but Microsoft doesn't bother in many regions Sony started to bother back in the PS3 days. If your flagship gaming product isn't available in the whole EU or SEA but your competitor is, then it's not fucking magic. Microsoft had years to expand into those markets. Sony's market share over the world didn't appear out of nowhere.
Did the Bethesda file say they wanted to keep supporting every platform?
Exclusive to Game Pass only? Yeah fuck that. I hope regulators shut this shit down.Na, nothing would change for Sega other than games being available on Xbox.
Like I said, court of public opinion.
That was 1) A different acquisition plan; 2) Not an existing franchise or game
I know no company is an angel but this is one thing Sony can be appreciated with (in which MS isn't interested as Sony because of ROI). If MS reverse the trend and becomes dominant I'd wonder what would happen to those regions..
Its not, considering Sony bought Bungie and recently talked about buying more companies, its fair to assume a lot of big firms in any business have lists of potential companies that seem worth investing in like this.
You can? Then why aren't Amazon Luna or Google Stadia booming right now? Why hasn't Apple invested into gaming and used their massive wealth to just dominate the industry?
