Isn't Microsoft mass buying up developers just so they have exclusive access to everything?

How is it again that Microsoft doesn't take every game as an exclusive with being 10x richer than Sony?

Microsoft has always been a massive piece of shit in the gaming industry aside from the OG Xbox era.

they keep buying these companies and we still havent even seen first party titles outside of Halo and Forza. Plus it seems like these games in development that were announced are poorly ran and becoming vaperware.

https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/user_image/5/9/4/AAYm74AADjcK.jpg anyone remember this game? Yeah... It was supposed to be Microsoft exclusive on Xbox, yet Microsoft themselves canceled the game halfway through it's development. As if they ran out of money or something and couldn't put up some extra millions to complete it lol (sarcasm)

By the way this woulda been an awesome next gen drakengard style game

I remember the gameplay that was released looked awful and I was not surprised Microsoft canceled it.

Kotaku, as usual, is wrong. Microsoft never accused Sony of this. The actual accusation is that Sony is opposed to the corporate merger because Game Pass is proving to be a more successful business model than buy-once models and rather than adjust their strategy to be more like game pass in the spirit of competition they're seeking angles to diminish the value of game pass so they can continue to rely exclusively on their established buy-once models.

Why does everyone knock Scalebound? It was essentially a new drakengard. In terms of the combat and structure of such things. Though now having an actual open world to explore with your dragon and fight in battles on ground and air

It was shaping up to be more like Borderlands with Sword instead of gun and Dragon instead of car.

And it was stuck in development hell for years. Bayonetta and Bayonetta 2 both lost money. Hideki Kamiya just does not have a good track record in terms of making games that are both good and profitable.

How about focusing on the one issue I have with Game Pass before complaining other games aren't being allowed on Game Pass....

More than half the games I've played on PC Game Pass have some sort of issue with them. Code Vein had the mouse cursor constantly popping up when using controller, Forager has a weird speed issue when you play in windowed mode, Battletoads will accept an arcade stick, but immediately turn it off as soon as the story mode actually starts, and Super Lucky Tail has a gamebreaking bug where you get stuck if your carrying an object.

It's ridiculous how bad some of these issues are.

This is why owning everything is a bad idea, especially when they are a multi-platform developer. There is no good from it for end users.

This is it exactly. It's monopolization, which is anti-consumerism. Capitalism and conservatism have defeated any anti monopoly laws in recent decades.

Microsoft can get fucked, they have zero room to bitch about anything Sony does.

Microsoft is becoming a monopoly at this point since they're buying up every damn studios they can.

Microsoft is under 30% of the market share. They're not even remotely close to a monopoly.

Nintendo exists on its ip to older gamers and appeal to young ones. It has its own brand of anti consumer practices
