MODERATORS
Microsoft are far, far, far from being close to the leader in the market even with ABK on their books, so your FUD makes no sense. Pretty much no one in the entire industry is against the acquisition apart from their main competitor, Sony, who are the market leader and abuse that position every day of the year to pull content away from Microsoft.
ABK will operate like they do currently, just like Bethesda do, only now they have Microsoft money and backing.
The only people that this deal is bad for are people who only play on PlayStation consoles. Everyone else benefits.
How bout you take your half baked brain back to investing in FTX.
Corporations are not your friend stop acting like they are, or ya investing in microshit too?
How about you actually try and refute any of my points if you disagree? Let me guess…..you only own a PlayStation?
I didn’t say any corporation is my friend. Not sure where you’re getting that from?
343 industries. MS has 18 month contractor limit and totally fucked up development on Halo Infinite
No you're just acting like a 69 billion merger is gonna have no effect. You'refucking naive
Have not owned a console since 360 m8, PCMR
What does 343i, an internally created studio, have to do with ABK?
You said nothing will change. They will be part of the microcrap veil and will follow their ways of doing things. Like not hire people and only contract for 18 months then get in new contractors to pick up where the recently fired left off... Like what happened at 343i.
No they won’t because Microsoft have gutted 343 and are completely changing how they are structured.
They’ll be exactly like the other big acquisition, Bethesda, who Microsoft are basically completely hands off.
