Or is it just one of Phil's balls in my throat?
Games rotate from sub services routinely, including first party games. If those games are taken off after 1 or 2 years of them entering, it will still be brought up as "see, they took them off".
This is a zero sum situation.

The FTC lawyer got him with that Zenimax/ABK question

Or if/when it fits their current strategy.

There is no change, the content existed on the platform before MS owned them. If they removed the content they would be sued to fuckery or just have to refund every purchase made on thise platforms.
Can new ps5 owners still get deathloop on psn+ or ghost wire now the contract is up?
Are they available on gamepass?

Case by case basis. Everything that'll shift the needle = exclusive. Shit = multiplatform (if we feel like it).

Like they would change strategy...
This is surely going to help their case here.
They have also said that The Outer World 2 came to PS5 when FTC interrogated Matt Booty...

Look at the questions going on right now. He is being grilled. "I genuinely don't know how to answer that question." lol

This is bad for them.
Surely ES6 is exclusive then.

Yes they're both on PS+
Yes.
Which nicely leads me to my own post.

Case by case basis.
- Exclusive = 100% of the cases.
- Multiplatform = 0% of the cases.
When you believe just in propaganda you end up believing fairy tales.
These people have convinced themselves that FTC was a joke....they're getting served.

After going out of their way and literally changing the contract with Disney, even though the original contract included PlayStation. It was already inked!

Cancelling the ps5 version of redfall could be used as defence for Microsoft

Disney obviously hates money if they are OK with dropping the platform with the bigger market share.

Mckmaster uses MasterCard to buy Slave drives
So they spent $10 billion in investments with no change in market share! I see why MS decided to up the ante to $70 Billion.

At least they get the exclusive uncharted style game they've been waiting a decade for though.
Third person one and done walkie talkie cinematic games with trees are about to be in fashion.

don't forget Elder Scrolls VI which is a sequel to a multiplatform game that sold 60+ million copies but Microsoft doesn't consider it enough of a mass market seller to not make exclusive
I guess Indiana Jones is now a "new ip/uncertain audience" for certain people.
Case by case my ass lmao
it's legal, just proves all the PR Xbox has been pushing these past few years was complete and utter bullshitIs that legal!? This is spicy hot

I'm not going to name names because they're here and they know we got all the receipts...
But there's a lot of people in this thread who stressed the following "Why would Microsoft take games off Playstation." Like they were some type of good guy? Behind the scenes, as soon as they got the chance that's the first thing they did. Microsoft's PR isn't just hypocritical, it's nefarious and misleading by design.

Fallout 76, already on PS before acquisition lol, Psychonauts 2 had existing obligation, but MS made sure there was no PS5 version.
