And if Sony were to successfully acquire another publisher, the only thing that'll be affected is their sales bcs gamers on another platform won't spend $499+ just for some exclusive games.

This will create bad precedent and ultimately create less choices for gamers. Btw, a 10 year agreement is a joke as game development takes longer nowadays. Why can it not be 20 or more years instead.

I don't get what's the big deal abt Activision Blizzard being acquired. PS5 has plenty of big exclusive games so why can't Xbox hv the same? + I'm sure Microsoft will being it to Windows too so it's won't be fully Xbox exclusive.

No matter what company it is, such takeovers should not be allowed. These companies are already too big. Too big in general, and now they are playing oligopoly in the gaming market.

Anonymous, 23 Jun 2023Sony was actively blocking, thru NDA, the release of FFXVI ... morethey didn't block it's squares decision it's because their games dont sell on xbox and just no real fanbase of those games on xbox, also u act like xbox didn't have timed games from the medium, ascent, stalker 2, octopath traveler 1, list goes on lol those are totally different situation, ff7 timed exclusivity ended ages ago talk to square not sony
