Psychonauts 2 was due to how Playstation handled upgrades compared to Xbox.

In order to have a native PS5 version a port needs to be developed. PS5 patches for PS4 games were limited to the same graphical settings and resolution of the PS4 Pro version and capped at 60fps.

Xbox let developers patch Xbox One games with better graphical settings, resolutions and 120fps support.

Same thing happened with Warzone and a few other games.

Of course sony wants to block their acquisition

If they don't, it's not just gonna be about call of duty. Call of duty won't mean shit in the long term, even if it's guaranteed until the ps10.

If this acquisition goes through, Sony will be losing out on not only tons of cod money, they'd be losing access to a lot of third party games they would have previously relied on.

It also change the landscape of the market. If anyone with more money is now allowed to acquire whoever and whatever they want as far as 3rd part studios go, things will get bad for both sides. I have a strange feeling that if this was someone related to Sony complaining about Microsoft stopping Sony from acquiring someone like fromsoft, saying that they would allow Microsoft to get every new darksouls game, people would be livid with Sony for trying to drastically alter the landscape of the market and so on.

Either way, this acquisition is not a good thing. No matter what person who profits from it directly bribes Sony with ffs.

I guess to fair there's no way to be certain on what, but it is reasonable to believe that eventually, most Activision Blizzard games will not be on playstation after contracts are up.

This is already what has happened with Bethesda.

I mean what Activision games are they relying on other than COD?

Are third party games something that should be guaranteed anyway? Sony already are able to lock down more as exclusives than Microsoft and Nintendo are able to.

crunchy roll only makes mobile games and is predominantly an anime streaming studio so this is akin to netflix gaming big LOL on you for this.
sony has a monopoly on anime streaming as owning both crunchy role and funimation makes them by far the largest distributor of anime in the west

and this has cost lots of ppl to loose there jobs as they refuse to allow ppl to do remote recording for their lines they have to go to the recording studio in texas
