@PhileasFragg That is called competition, timed deals, buying studios etc. is just to make your platform stronger. If there would be no competition, it would be much worse. Just think about if there is only 1 platform, they could do what they want and charge you what they think is ok.
I liked it, its sad they don't just let the servers run.
I'm actually a little angry and not sure if I ever will pay for a turn10 game in the future. Probably just play the 'free' games in gamepass from them.
@StonyKL Actually a independent developer/publisher and a platform holder have the same interest, their primary goal is to make money and not to make all player happy. Its just different how they will reach this goal.
If a platform holder would make more money when they release every game on all competing platforms too, they would actually do it allready.
If he will accept any exclusive deals in the future his words will be reminded as very hypocritical.
@UltimateOtaku91 This will only happen if Nintendo, Sony and Xbox go the Sega route and turn into a publisher only. But who will then produce consoles for a reasonable price if they can't lock you into their eco system und get a 30% cut from every sale?
I'm wondering what will happen, when a company comes with a bag full of money and wants it timed-exclusive for 1-2 years. Will he say no, we want that everyone can play together or will he take the money^^
I guess they chosen the sony money over a multi console release, I hope for them it was worth it. Next year will be probably too late to make much money on xbox/switch
Mr. Hines seems a bit strange to me. First he apologize to the ps fans, that the future games will be exclusive, then he buy a ps5 for this ps-fan. Did he ever feels sorry for all the xbox fans who has to wait 1 year for ghostwire tokyo or deathloop?
@blinx01 They have the studios now, but they will definitely not deliver now, it will be in the second half of the gen, where we will see the benefit of the new studios.
They just bought them too late to have the games ready for the first 1-2 years of the new gen, or to prevent exclusive deals from their competition.

Re: Sony Expects Xbox To 'Ensure' Activision Games Are Still Available On PlayStation
Maybe they release still some games for PS, when sony goes back to max 3-6month timed exclusive deals.
Re: Microsoft Is Buying Activision Blizzard, Reportedly For $70 Billion
@UltimateOtaku91
I guess, its the answer for sony continue making long term exlusive deals.
MS buys the studios --> no more exlcusive deals for sony

Re: Xbox Team Pick Their Most Anticipated Games Of 2022
@Would_you_kindly
Thats getting annoying.
XBox-studio announce a game, or new article on xbox, PS people assume its also coming to PS or its also about PS, if they don't say its only for xbox.
PS-studio announce a game, or new blog post on PS, PS people assume its only for/about PS, if they don't say its only for PS.
As if per default, PS is included and if not you have to say it explicitly.
