Sony responds to Microsoft's acquisition of Activision Blizzard

[Ravey]

Maybe Sony will try their hand on breaking into the PC realm with their own OS?

OR. Partner with apple to compete?

Here is the government stepping in to fix this mess. I think I'll keep using Linux and not buy Microsoft products, and probably stop buying any CoD games. I have no fear of missing out.

I find it so strange that if Sony had bought Activision Blizzard there would be little if no furore at but hey it is big bad Microsoft how dare they "it is so bad for gaming it must be stopped".

Im not content with authoritative commitments towards Sony, fck that. America is actually currently at battle with Japan, however not over the barrel of a weapon any longer but rather in the corporate world without a doubt. It's MS XB (America) versus Sony (Japan). Sony is abhorrent with ravenousness and compelling gigantic costs of their special features versus XB delivering theirs on day 1 on gamepass. The decision is clear, XB is presently guaranteeing that the gaming business will ideally improve, constraining PS to add a comparable gamepass administration to their foundation. Sony just comprehends one message, when u take then, at that point, head on and beat them unexpectedly, consequently this is what a considerably more impressive MS XB is doing and ideally this will constrain Sony to cut the BS and not be so voracious, period. This approaching from an ex PS gamer myself.

Your opinion of Sony needs adjustment. Sony is focused on making a great platform. They can be counted on to do what is right because that is what they have done in the past. Microsoft has proven themselves untrustworthy liars.

What if MS Doesn't give you any Blizzard games, any Activision games any Arkane (Dishonored, Deathloop, Pray) games any Bethesda ( Elder Scrolls, Fallout, Starfield) games any id (Doom) games any MachineGames (Wolfernstain) games. And honestly loads more but this is just off the top of my head.

Would you still not even consider getting a new system?

Well, I guess I'm not that much of a gamer, anyway. It's been a while since I played games from franchises other than GTA, CoD, Crysis and maybe some NFS (I actually prefer the old school ones up to Carbon or so).

In this case, I'm not exactly the target audience for console manufacturers, anyway.
I just think us buyers and gamers alike would benefit from better platform support.

I don't go out to buy a console just because an installment in my favorite franchise is console-only, either. Again, not an ideal gamer for Microsoft or Sony.
Now you got me wondering how the sales numbers compare for platform-agnostic releases vs platform-specific titles.

Im not happy with contractual obligations towards Sony, fck that. America is technically still at war with Japan, but not over the barrel of a gun anymore but in the corporate world for sure. It's MS XB (America) vs Sony (Japan). Sony is evil with greed and forcing monstrous prices of their exclusives vs XB releasing theirs on day 1 on gamepass. The choice is clear, XB is now ensuring that the gaming industry will hopefully change for the better, forcing PS to add a similar gamepass service to their platform. Sony only understands one message, when u take then head on and beat them at their own game, hence this is what a much more powerful MS XB is doing and hopefully this will force Sony to cut the BS and not be so greedy, period. This coming from an ex PS gamer myself.

For all those PS fanboys whose struggling with the impact of XB acquiring Activision and what it will mean for COD fans in future, here's a wake up call of reality lol:

You're asking us to read a xbot fanboy post? Lol no one has said anything about exclusivity on any acti games. No one that matters at least
