Fuckin gamers
tsuchinoko real
WE DEMAND MORE MONOPOLIES
tsuchinoko real
Of course it's resetera
NekoInc, MSPM
(Note also that Sony has been doing these buyouts - Insomniac, for one.)
NekoInc, MSPM
(Nintendo seems to more prefer partnerships - see also how several of their biggest recent hits were actually codeveloped by Namco and Tecmo-Koei)
Ken
Insomniac and Bethesda are not even remotely comparable
Ken
Insomniac is one dev studio who’s only ever made one game outside PlayStation’s ecosystem
Ken
Zenimax are a bunch of studios, game engines, etc
Ken
It’s an entire publisher
Beans
yeah it's. Not even Bethesda they're getting
Ken
You didn’t see people raising much ire when MS bought say, Ninja Theory because that’s just A Studio and MS at the time definitely needed a few more studios actually working on games

They’re also getting Id and Arkane, yeah
Ken
This is something else entirely
Beans
it's also Arkane Studios (Dishonored, Deathloop), Id Software (Doom, Wolfenstein) and Tango Gameworks (The Evil Within, Ghostwire: Tokyo)
Beans
it's definitely. More of a monopoly
Ken
Boy plurk was not updating replies, but. Yeah, this is a lot more than almost any console maker has ever done, it’s almost the cost of two Marvels.
Beans
I think I retract my first statement. I am nervous
Ken
I’d like to see Microsoft dig themselves out of the industry hole they’ve been in since the Xbox One, not BUY their way out of it. That’s not healthy competition.
Ken
The thing that stands out to me is that this goes against how Phil Spencer has talked for awhile
