Microsoft buys Bethesda for 7.5 billion

Want an interesting good read? Good column regarding the purchase and the perception. It's an opinion, but it now stands out. I'm now wondering about what old agreements are there.

No doubt they move to Azure when legally possible....cheaper and the money stays within MS overall...plus i bet there'll be tons of ways to integrate together that may not have been possible before.

MS is about making money, so if putting stuff elsewhere isn't risking making money elsewhere then it won't be exclusive. They have a plan, we just don't know it.

Now they do but they want MS to be the nice guy? MS can put those games on PS5 if Sony puts Naughty Dog titles on game pass

I dont see sony fanboys calling this out? I'm a sony fanboy and I personally dont even care. Good purchase for Microsoft though (not being sarcastic)

Minecraft is a platformer that gets support for years and years which is why it is on everything.

Cannot compare Minecraft to an actual triple A game come on

As for Spiderman? Lol, Sony is I think closing in on $100B. They're competing with a trillion dollar company. They need some "Aces up their sleeves." But they're working together. Sony using Azure, The Show going multi. I think Dickey pointed it out perfectly regarding who Microsoft's real competitor is.

Only way the games will appear on SOny is if Sony puts xbox game pass on their console. The Show going multi has zero to do with Sony and everything to do with MLB

The only games that will go to Sony are the online specific games but single player triple A. Not going to happen IMO

I agree 100% that ND games are superior but you cannot say ND games are superior so no chance Sony puts them on Xbox but Xbox will put their games on Sony....I mean really?

Assuming since you quoted me you are referring to me.
No where did I dis MS or any brand at all.
I am PC mainly (And as of today do not own any consoles other than SWITCH) and simply said I hate exclusives FROM BOTH SIDES.

Fanboy? No Sky it has to do with the way for the last few years it has been well why buy an xbox when they have no games so there is no reason to

But once they have a stable of games coming, the other side says is not fair to not put it on sony. Really?

Spiderman is the biggest super hero in most cases and only Sony fans get to enjoy it. Which sony fans tell you that this is the reason to buy a sony console because of the exclusives. But when the other side gets exclusives it is not fair?

I have PS5 and series X pre ordered and I game on a 2080ti and waiting to buy a 3090 when available.

And I spent this gen mostly on ps4 and pc. So fanboy not....Just pointing out way things shake out in the end when the shoe is on the other foot
