This is is. They are scared that they will lose the Marketing deals and people will shift towards GP, even if they will still by a PS5. Players going to GP for CoD means losing all that money from MTX, which is huge loss for them. Believing or not, CoD MTX money is funding some of the PS5 exclusives....
MS didn't own them. Couldn't they have made the game of they wanted
Further explains the hostile move to purchase ABK. Weakening the competition. Making them smaller. Company of projection.
it seems this dude call out Jez for his subpar/misleading "journalism" and having financial motivation for the deal to be appoved.
trying to "debunk" this dudeThis is why most pro-GP people are happy with these big acquisitions. They like how affordable and cheap gaming has become for them. Not because of list wars.

and jezz got butthurt
MS had publishing rights, so no.
I can't with these clowns. Im assuming its the same shit resetera is foaming for. They must have lower income in general there.
I mean it depends what they do with those developers. CoD will stay releasing on Sony for at least sometime.

i didn't knew that....even better. i bet jez actually cried.
It always weirds me out to see people actually trash a good price like its a point of shame. Only seen it this gen.
later in the video he says a steady flow of games is more important than buyng big publishers.
MS does not need to acquire ABK to put COD on GP. Why are the pro-GP people cheering for this acquisition?
To be fair I've seen it in other sectors, some people trash talk local drug dealers that give their product out at cut rate prices to clear out competition. They fail to see the great service these people are getting.
Why not both???
cant buy activision , too expensive
I've left forums I was no longer welcome in before, I simply stopped posting. Sounds like narcissism with poor impulse control to me.
I know it makes his point pointless doesn't it.
I believeArioco is an attorney (I think). Care to share your expertise here?
not really , managing such big publishers is also a challenge
Agreed. Like I understand the worry about funding big games, but there's a ton of wiggle room as far as titles that fit into a service like that.
So you believe as long as the acquisition fails then almost every third party game will be day 1 on GP? That's an interesting theory you have there.
No. I'm saying that instead of spending $70 billion to acquire ABK and going through this nerve-racking legal process only to get ABK games on Game Pass, Microsoft could spend less than half of its amount and get Game Pass deals from nearly every publisher.
Too bad. MS prefers buying Activision. Just like Sony could do marketing deals with Bungie, but they bought them too. Maybe MS is sick of Sony doing endless exclusivity deals and just said what the hey, we'll just buy people out.
a) MS aren't ever going to spend that much on just gamepass deals because there would not be a return on investment
There is no evidence of Sony paying money to developers to not put their games on Game Pass.
I don't.
I understand that, but that wasn't the topic of conversation. The discussion was that pro-GP people support these big acquisitions because they get more games on Game Pass at a cheaper price. So my question was, regardless of Microsoft's ROI, wouldn't pro-GP people prefer if, instead of acquiring ABK, Microsoft uses this money to get hundreds of games to Game Pass?
Why do you care so much if COD comes to GP? You arent even an Xbox gamer and COD will still be available to buy on PS systems. And for years at minimum as Sony already has another one of their muti-year Activision deals in place until 2025 or 2026.
lol, I don't give a flying duck if COD comes to Game Pass. More power to Game Pass users and Microsoft if they sign a Game Pass deal. Good for them.
Some of us pro-GP people couldn't care less about ABK games and those games coming to the service is not a positive to me.
Might as well say pro-GP people should want the deal to fail so MS can spend trillions buying the whole market!!! Yes!!!!
Yikes, bro. That's the worst take you've had in this thread so far and that's really saying something.
No, pro-GP people shouldn't want MS wasting billions on timed exclusive content or day one GP deals if there are better deals out there to make. Clearly ABK is a better deal based on the fuss Sony is making.
After dumping $70 billion into getting the ABK library onto game pass it's my worry MS won't be going for the same variety of games they do now.
