      Why? Microsoft hasnt been pushing for it like Sony has. Sony has been crazy anti competitive.

        One company buying another is always anti-competitive. The literal definition of removing competition.

        Future Bethesda games are exclusive. They weren’t going to be, but they are now.

          Well yeah, that’s the point. Maybe Sony will stop forcing exclusivity and sign a deal with MS to get Bethesda games back on PS and FF and others on Xbox.

            That would be fantastic, but it’s really hard for me to have that much faith in corporations. We’ll see though. I was really looking forward to seeing Bethesda make another RPG for PSVR, but I’m sure the odds of that happening now are less than zero thanks to Microsoft.

                Comments like this kind of suck when you no longer have the kind of money to “just get a pc”.

                It does matter though. Can’t play a lot of old PS exclusives on PC. That is starting to change for some new games though.

            Great a duoloply again. That’s what I want instead of independent game studios just making games and letting people play them on what ever platform they want.

        Part of the problem is that since Sony is so heavily invested in exclusives, if Microsoft doesn’t have any exclusives and all their games also come out of Playstation, that’s incentive for people to purchase a PS5 over an Xbox because they know they’ll get all of the games that both Sony and Microsoft make. So even if Microsoft doesn’t want to do exclusives, they kind of have to if they want to keep people from just purchasing their competitor’s console.

          Or they can be like me, just get a PC and if you really need a console, a cheap Xbox.

          PC gaming is a plus and game pass is a plus. Sony will eventually give me their games. I’ve bought multiples of every Sony system in the US since the PS1 through the 4. But I’m done with them

            I might pay for the cloud gaming service just long enough to play starfield then cancel

              I hope there’s a dollar deal in there so I can demo the game

          Xbox are not trying to sell consoles, they are trying to sell game pass.
