It comes down to the mindshare I think, right now everyone is talking about Microsoft and their fans who've been hiding in the woodworks since Playstaion's June event decide to come out of hiding, this fluctuates throughout the year and I've noticed it so many times.
Mojang and Obsidian are first party as well. Yet we saw Outer Worlds and Minecraft being released on other platforms.
I see your point and I agree. It just boils down to money in the end and people want the green.
Exactly! You remember the backlash they got over Spiderman being exclusive in the Avengers game. Lol fucking ridiculous. Even when Insomniac was purchased there was an uproar even though they made one game for Xbox. Hypocrisy.
Rechargable battery + cable to charge it in a controller.
Xbox controller uses normal AA batteries, this kit allows one to plug in a rechargeable pack, so you can plug and play

Both Ori games on switch as well.
Considering the following:
- They publicly saying they are going after Stadia and not Sony.
- They are not focusing on selling hardware.
- How they are handling their first party studios.
All of that and my financial explanation, it pretty much sums up why it makes sense IMHO for them to have some games multiplatform. The lack of "in the future, all these IPs will be exclusive to xbox and gamepass." declaration of sorts, makes this pretty much as a possibility.
Please don't mix my view with the PCMR crowd "All your exclusives are belong to us" after one game.

did you read the argument ?
What I mean is that you don't spend 1/3 of your money on a group of gaming studios. You need more money such that an acquisition of that size doesn't have such a big impact. Which is why I said they didn't have enough money.so they don't have that kind of money, yet it is third of their cash? very logical sentences
they could easily buy zenimax.
and it is not 1 gaming studio. it is 8, and most important, is those studio's IPs.
this is massive in gaming world actually.

little birdie network? Will be interesting also to see if Sony have a response to todays acquisition. I assume they knew it was coming for a while now.
You do know that they would still make money when they release them on other platforms right?Sure.... MS just gifted 7,5B $ for nothing
Not gifted because, this way they can get extra features, more optimisations for their console and best of all a slice of the profits.Sure.... MS just gifted 7,5B $ for nothing
Sounds objectively ambiguous to me
I've been PC/PS for a long time but I do really wonder how these acquisitions will affect the industry as a whole. They aren't buying some failing or fledgling studios...That depends on if you are firmly in one camp or the other
That depends on if you are firmly in one camp or the other
Not sure if you can say but have you heard anything about all the "free Xbox online" rumors? The Gold price increase is pretty much the only thing making me hesitant to preorder a Series X.That depends on if you are firmly in one camp or the other
There's still the possibility that xbox's strategy is to make all new games available on gamepass day 1, while people on the PS5 platform will have to pay full price for them. Taking advantage of that ownership while still making that multiplatform money.Sure.... MS just gifted 7,5B $ for nothing
So good news for me. I'm in all camps. But I hate camping.That depends on if you are firmly in one camp or the other

What about Minecraft Dungeons?
For me :
Since I joined GAF few months ago, you flipped sides like 20 times
MS still desperately needs an Asian studio, but I wouldn't hold my breath for Konami. I wish they'd just created their own XGS japan but that's a fanboy pipedream I'm not ashamed to admitI am going to assume that there is one more acquisition coming for MS. But who would that be? I doubt that Ubisoft would be up for grab, EA probably not since they seem to be too costly. SE seems to be in the Sony camp with 2(?) timed exclusives, but we saw how that went with bethesda lol. Since there were rumours of sony buying zenimax, maybe MS was the one that actually went for Konami? Would help them reach the japanese market.
Good for PC camp?
You talking about the grass? Shouldn't you be underwater.
Those are consumer decisions. You choose what you fell is good in the moment.Since I joined GAF few months ago, you flipped sides like 20 times
what is the ms news you mentioned earlier ?That depends on if you are firmly in one camp or the other
Tgs is showing more resi supposedly...any gt7 or ought else?? Gagging for deep forest on p5 haha.That depends on if you are firmly in one camp or the other
it's something called a battery that comes standard in the Dualsense controller but somehow you have to pay and extra 22 dollar (29 euro) for it on the xbox controller and folks sing halleluja for it cus MS is giving them "choice"
