    Phil Spencer’s vision is starting to come into view for me. Activision/Blizzard with 1 release a year at least, whether it be COD or something else, with a focus on multiplayer. Bethesda with 1-2 releases a year focusing on single player. XGS with 1-2 a year focusing on a variety of things. Meaning Xbox gets a major game each quarter on Game Pass with diversity, and an expansion into the mobile market. Competing with Sony, and making it VERY difficult for Amazon or Google to catch up.

    I'd personally prefer if they acquired Sega instead of ABK, they have many more franchises that interest me. Sega Saturn was my first console, and Sega franchises being on Gamepass, including backwards compatibility going back all the way to the Master System would be awesome.
    I think Sonic would remain multiplat, at least being released on Nintendo, but their franchises could help with Xbox's Japan presence.
    But overall, I think ABK is what will provide more value for Xbox and Gamepass, worldwide..

    I wish both Sony and MS would stop trying to buy other studios. It's bad for gamers. It's never good if one company basically creates a monopoly. It might look good now, but once a company has a monopoly, it will completely change their strategy. Prices will go up. Services will decline in quality. We need competition. Competition keeps the market healthy, and is more beneficial for gamers. Companies only care about our money, nothing else.

      @edwardlafferty8796 11 месяцев назад

      Maybe.
      MS needs a Japanese publisher if it wants to establish a presence QUICKLY. At minimum, it needs several strong development teams.
      Sega offers established IP in the fighting genre. JRPGs. Family entertainment. Mobile. All major gaps in MS catalog.
      Questions are...
      How much? MS would almost certainly pay a premium for any Japanese company it buys.
      Does Sega want to be bought?
      How much independence will MS offer? If Sega wants the freedom to publish on PS then maybe a strong partnership might be better.
      Ownership will mean XBox will become the main development platform for a number of strong IPs favored in Japan. But it may also stir resentment.

After all we can all see is very weird most of the games of paradox and Sega game are on game pass or where at some point. That clearly shows how close the relations are between companies.

Development of games isn't focused on the consoles either it's aimed at the cloud and pc market.
      They need games to feed gamepass and they can't keep paying for 3rd party titles. If the ABK deal goes through they will have 38 studios and they have already said they aren't done buying studios. There is a very real risk they will have a monopoly of content, that no other company will ever be able to match.

    Sega would make more sense to me than ABK, but the only ABK game I like is StarCraft and to a lesser extent Diablo. Sega would give you a huge mindshare in Japan, could market it as the Sega Series X in Japan, and give you Yakuza/SMT/Persona/PSO and the entire back catalogue. Resurrect Skies of Arcadia, House of the Dead, Panzer Dragoon, etc. With Sega the amount of game pass content could be almost limitless.

    Xbox has never claimed they don't want to be the biggest in the video game market. What video game company WOULD say that? No, Microsoft is saying their new business model, Phil Spencer's new "future of gaming" strategy of offering games players can enjoy on multiple platforms, is better for consumers. But at the same time, most all of Sony's complaints are based on practices THEY are using, too, or are busy trying to expand, such as paying developers to keep games exclusive, buying developers up, and expanding cloud gaming.

    The should only be 2 different news about this (or any other purchase).
    1- Intent to purchase
    or
    2- Went through or not.
    It's been over a year that people's emotions have gone bankrupt by media outlest/youtubers/twiter posts etc, by milking this merger or any other thing.
    He who is self aware and lives life from an observant point of view, sees life as a comedy. He who is not, sees life as a tragedy. I been following this thing for a while and I gotta say, what a comedy. I been playing playstation mostly since 1995. Playstation gave me more games/fun then I could ever asked for. But if playstation disappears this second, nothing will change in my life. I read, write, paint, draw, garden, fast, meditate, exercise and many more things you can do to live a healthy, free deep meaningful life.
    Long story short, keep emotions under control or else you'll be bankrupt (physically, emotionally, mentally, spiritually) by them (the emotions triggerings). Never worship any corporation, public figures, politicians, celebrities etc. All of you (both sides) that are argueing over corporations/pieces of plastic are a result of their experiment. Who are they? The masterminds at Tavistock Institute,the thinktanks that social engineer society.
    These content creators (more like gossipers) are minions doing THEIR (social engineers at Tavistock) job, affect your emotions for personal gain not realizing that these youtubers are bigger slaves then the regular suscribers because these youtubers have no morals, money/personal gain has numbed their front part of their brain (consciousness). At least in the comment section there are a few that think for themselves.
    The quality of your thoughts words and actions determine if you live an empowering, virtuous, thinking for SELF life or not.
    P.S. Energy (inner-g) is your life currency (current sea), do not waste it away (going against the river). Invest it to create a better world (flow with natural existence) and not a chaotic one. When you have no clue why you exist/why you're here (on Earth), what does life mean etc, you are easily swayed by heartless, left brained institutions/corporations/people (*smarter zombies). Smart is different than intelligent. An intelligent person is by default smart, but a smart person is not intelligent, can be only with a brain and heart that are coherent/aligned with the Source/Nature/Divine. I copy and paste this in a few other posts for those that have eyes to see, ears to hear and a mind to make sense of it (the aTRUTH).
