minus-square@Katana314linkEnglish1•1 month agoThis may have been my thought. I was never so deeply in favor of the acquisition, but I did find the focus on exclusives hypocritical. Microsoft had already made many of their games available cross platform, while Sony had not at the time.
minus-squareOmegalinkEnglish1•1 month agoI don’t find that hypocritical. My issue with acquisitions is that it makes multiplatform games potentially exclusive. Franchises they built and invested in should be exclusive. Franchises they hoard with no additional resources should remain multiplatform.
