I do agree that mergers are bad, but also I think you are comparing Sony and Microsoft as though they operate on the same market strategy. Sony’s whole strategy is creating a sort of gaming oasis through hardware, which is why they focus on high quality single player exclusives over live service multiplayer games.…

Exclusives are an issue, regardless of who they are with. But it’s legal to do, so Sony does it. You know what else is legal? Buying something you want because you want to prevent someone else from having it. In the case of Bethesda, that appears to be the sole reason the company was bought. Sony wanted to torpedo…

Microsoft intends to release it on more consoles and make it more easy to access via cloud gaming, which makes it more accessible. Also, it really didn’t help that Sony has been moneyhatting and exclusifying games for decades, a practice which is essentially just a much cheaper version of an acquisition. Honestly if…

He’s referring to their Xbox money specifically, not all the money Microsoft makes. You are both technically right.

Yea Kotaku is kind of for Playstation fanboys. Everything left out really makes Sony look like the bad guys in all this. Both are awful but Microsoft is just doing what it has to to stay competitive. I could honestly see this completely backfiring on the FTC and the judge allowing the acq to continue. It really seems…

Ethan left out the fact that Microsoft only bought Zenimax to prevent Sony from buying exclusives. Sony has been playing this game the whole time, they just do it on the cheap and underhanded side.

Honestly I wish they’d stop saying things like “They are missing out”. These people are hyper obsessed with something that has no consequence on their lives, I can promise they don’t think they are missing out. Call it what it really is. It’s weird. Who cares if someone is trans or gay? They exist and honestly it…

It’s because they can only produce sad dad video games. They’ve never been able to make an FPS that could compete.

Microsoft does want that. Sony doesn’t. That’s why Sony has fought tooth and nail to stop things like crossplay. They know their biggest advantage in the market is their extremely anti consumer practices. Without those, they are forced to actually compete.

All this says to me is Sony knows if they have to actually produce what’s being asked, they will not have a leg to stand on.

I will never understand this bizarre knee jerk reaction to safety standards excluding obese people. Yes, if you weigh too much and don’t fit, you could get hurt, therefore you will be excluded. It sucks, but that’s how it is.

You can’t prove people not living in the same reality as the rest of us wrong. The right lives in a completely different world from the rest of us.

Sweet lord you people whine a lot.

RAM is one of the cheapest components you can buy when building a computer, even high end stuff runs on the cheap side comparatively. If you think 16 Gigs of RAM is “hefty” I have to wonder what you thought a lot of RAM was 4 years ago. I’ve run at least 32 gigs since 2014

It’s on Gamepass so I doubt many people bought the game.

Whatever middle school you attend, they desperately need better domain filtering.

If you are trying to say an overwhelming number of 13 year old edgelords agree with him, yes, you are probably right.

It’s not support from their constituents. It’s what this in fighting can cause, which is republicans cannibalizing each other trying to amass power.

This shouldn’t surprise you at all. I’d say about 1/4 people actually pay any attention to politics or vote based off more than what their family votes for. There is a reason it is so easy for con artists to win elections. I know many people that have no clue about anything outside of what they hear at church on…

Saying Andrew Tate has terrible taste in cars is enough to hurt his ego what the hell are you talking about? The dude is more insecure than lose cargo in the back of a pick up truck. You could say to him “your eyes are kind of crooked” and he’d go on a tirade about how great he is.
