Edit: OK i just saw Solidus post on the first page!
No it wouldn't.That Spiderman game would have still happened even if Sony didn't buy Insomniac.
No it wouldn't.
Sony hired them to make the game. They got bought because they were successfulSony didn't own them when they made the first game. That happened afterwards.

Yeah misunderstood you.Yeah I'm saying that the game was made before Sony bought them. Spiderman existing isn't due to Sony owning them.
Alright I mis
Yeah misunderstood you.
Yes no problem.
I will say that Sony buying them did help out Insomniac a lot. I can't imagine Wolverine would exist if that didn't happen.
Yeah cos they were backed into a corner. And originally it was just honouring existing contracts IE a few years.
By the way smart ass what about all the other games like starfield etc? You're talking about one game in about 10 ips they have bought and will no longer be multiplat after the current contracts end.

Who knows what state insomniac would even be in, they were dropping one dud after another outside of sony

So much talking but it comes to games it's another story![]()
I believe MS is being so loud right now to keep interest in Xbox going by always being in the news cycle, while the black Friday deals are going on.
Lol @ ‘news cycle’ like Phil and Nadella’s comments are aired on mainstream media.
They'll basically relegate Xbox to just another device in their family of computing devices, start selling them for a profit (similar to their Surface devices), open them up for full Windows functionality, completely phase out XBL Gold, phase out the Xbox Store (or just expand that to a general storefront for all non-dedicated gaming devices), bring all of their 1P content to Sony & Nintendo devices (which most likely can allow them to work out a means for GamePass on Sony & Nintendo devices as well), etc. That's more or less the future of Xbox as a brand IMHO, and they'll probably reach that reality by the time 10th-gen would normally start, if not sooner.
But again, that doesn't mean Xbox goes away; MS can do what Valve tried to do (and failed) with Steam Machines, and treat Xbox as a closed PC gaming box and semi-regular hardware refreshes aimed at a wider mass market. This is what I mean when I say they will turn Xbox into a more Surface-like device in terms of certain iterations, hardware scalability and functionality with general Windows (IIRC the Surface team were even involved in the creation of Series X and S!), just focused towards gaming specs-wise (whereas the Surface devices are focused towards business and productivity).
They are aired in Social Media which is also where Mainstream media goes because it's where a substantial amount of people get their news.
I also didn't say anything about Activision, you added that in, I said they keep putting XBOX in the NEWS CYCLE as the holiday deals are going on.
There is no other reason why they would be constantly doing interviews or going to outlets giving the usual PR each time if it wasn't for that purpose. Especially for Nadella who gains nothing from this because he's basically just repeating something we already heard, but made it more controversial by rewording his PR to cause the reactions we are seeing in news, in social media, and on message boards.
Xbox being in the news also gives outlets and websites (and ad platforms) reason to push Xbox commercials, ads, and marketing to take advantage of the fact Xbox is trending. So now along with this you also have Xbox deals trending, and every time Phil, Booty, Satya, or anyone else opens there mouth there's new deals or partnerships popping up around the same time every single time.
People do not buy game consoles or software because a CEO was in the news.
That’s not how it works. Either MS pays for ad spots
How does buying Bethesda and having them cancel work on the PS versions of Starfield (which Beth themselves said was well under way) give MORE options for gamers? That’s a flat out lie.
Makes me wonder how truthful they are being about the long term future of Gamepass or it’s intent.
That’s the biggest key here. Just added a bit.
If a company have a history of deception and lies can you really blame people for doubting anything they do or say? Of course not, that’s called common sense but is now labled as ”console warring”.
bitch pls….
Not exclusive to xbox, they’re exclusive to the xbox ecosystem.Another day, another hypocrisies statement from Microsoft/Xbox guys, not Phil today for once but the day is not over.
So, if you want to "bring more options for GAMERS", why are you buying in mass in order to make all your titles exclusive to Xbox ?
Just say you believe in exclusives instead of lying.

How is that options for people who dont give a shit about those services?Far more options for people to play games when all the games are on game pass and xcloud.
How is that options for people who dont give a shit about those services?
Just like Sony with multiple pricing cartel acquisitions and fines to name few. I could never trust company like this. All stuff they say is pure garbage. They are all criminals at Sony. ….Am I doing this right?That’s the biggest key here. Just added a bit.

Lmfao this dude is seriousNot giving a shit about the service doesn’t mean you can’t use it.
If you can get on gaf, you can play on xcloud, and ABK games post acquisition are available to you if you want them.
The number of internet connected devices with a browser far outstrips the number of playstation 4 and 5’s out there added together, hence more options for consumers.
Lol. Those ”folks” your talking about are fanboys themselves. Ofcourse they won’t like what i say, doesn’t automatically means it’s warring.I suspect the labels come from folks familiar with your xbox related posts.
I think it’s been clarified more than enough times that COD will remain Multiplatform. Emphatically so.

So no counter argument. Your logic was trashed and you cannot defend it any other way than calling me a kid. Nice.Lmao, i mean i’m not your dad. You can believe what you want to believe kid.![]()

Xcloud might be semi decent for some games and it's still not ideal yet, but as a playstation owner if cod does eventually go exclusive it definitely wouldn't be ideal playing a twitch shooter through a browser so tell me what are my options then ? .Not giving a shit about the service doesn’t mean you can’t use it.

You want me to counter a childish remark?So no counter argument. Your logic was trashed and you cannot defend it any other way than calling me a kid. Nice.
Btw. Add more emojis next time for more dramatic effect.
And another one. You are on the roll.You want me to counter a childish remark?
Nah i have something better for you kid.

Xcloud is your option.

Xcloud isn't an ideal option for twitch shooters for anyone , if they buy abk that's ok but don't turn around saying your doing it to give people more options to play when the option for people outside of the Xbox ecosystem is far inferior than playing through a console .Xcloud is your option. The option not being ideal for you doesn’t mean it’s not available.
If ABK games mean that much to you, you could just buy an xbox? The series S is the cheapest current gen console and regularly has discounts below MSRP so it won’t even set you back that much
It's more options to people who don't have consoles at all which outnumber people who do. MS games business is bigger than just consoles. Also MS plans on putting games like CoD on Switch as well and that is also giving more people options to play. I don't think there is anything wrong with the statement.Xcloud isn't an ideal option for twitch shooters for anyone , if they buy abk that's ok but don't turn around saying your doing it to give people more options to play when the option for people outside of the Xbox ecosystem is far inferior than playing through a console .
I think you’re missing the point. Taking games away from PS is giving gamers less options, not more. Full stop.It's more options to people who don't have consoles at all which outnumber people who do. MS games business is bigger than just consoles.

You are missing the point that PlayStation isn't the only available option and there are more people who don't have it than do.I think you’re missing the point. Taking games away from PS is giving gamers less options, not more. Full stop.
