That's the beauty or at least the hope is the executives at Microsoft understand the studios and titles and franchises they have on their hands and we'll do just that extra due diligence that activision etc just didn't want to do

Den go buy dem and do it. Oh you broke

Personally I think Xbox will allow all of these “support” studios to go back to be actual studios and make their own games. Move the CoD cycle to every 18 months instead of 12. That will give each of the 3 main CoD developers more time to make good games again.

@@AwwwBeanz a CoD cycle if 2 years is fine too, they could pull Sledgehammer off CoD and let them do something else.

@@randalica92 I agree. But if they kept the cycle of Treyarch, Infinity Ward, Sledgehammer each studio would get roughly 4 1/2 to make their games. I think that amount of time could be great for those studios to avoid crunch, have time to polish, and give all of the “support” studios freedom to make their own games.

i was thinking the exact same thing but lets hope they let a kid put master chief on his grave unlike disney

yes but which of those acquisitions will reap benefits like Marvel.....talk about getting it on the cheap.

Sony started the “exclusive” war. Now Xbox is doing something about it, and you people complain?! Things will be balanced, as all things should be 🤣🤣

totally, consolidation is upon us, for better or worse and I'm not even looking at Sony to do something similar, maybe Amazon will buy some of the other big publishers

@@sweet0mistral Sony had, arguably in all practicality CREATED their exclusives. Their strategy was to buy very small game companies and support them alot, incorporate them into their studios etc. In the same way, Microsoft had essentially obtained Halo and Forza with a similar strategy. This was all perfectly fine as all franchises started as a first party exclusive, for example Rachet and Clank wasn't first loved by both platforms- ONLY PlayStation Players. However, since Microsoft had been in a pure drought of creative originality for the past 7-9 years, having no truly overwhelming intellectual properties obtained, they simply just bought out a publisher. Why is this bad? Surely Sony started it right? Well as a first , both Sony and Xbox had both obtained first party exclusives on a reasonably fair strategy. And secondly, it's much more 'anti-consumer' persay than what Sony were doing. Leeching pre-established companies through cheap cash grabs incentivises anticonsumer practices when talking about exclusivity. Bethesda games were enjoyed on both platforms, it's very anticonsumer to just stop the franchise on one platform- that's like stopping FIFA on just Xbox or vice versa... If that wasnt bad enough, microsoft just did another cash grab for Activision, further consolidating the industry and making much less room for change and innovation.. The future results of this? Well first of all prices will rise- significantly, ESPECIALLY for game pass. Let's say Microsoft made all Activision games exclusive, Microsoft could make the games exclusive on game pass and up the price by a considerable margin, especially considering there's no other place to go. This is not good for consumers , even Xbox players^. In addition, it is also worthy to mention that the acquisition of many studios provides large problems considering game quality. Firstly, it's incredibly difficult to micromanage many studios at once - yes, even for Microsoft, I know - and secondly , the acquisition of massive publishers drives out the need for competing with the other company, ergo the need for improving quality of games For example, if Microsoft just flat out bought most of the significant game's and developers on the market, Sony has no way to combat that in all actuality, because Microsoft influence too large of a percent of the market, by buying all the studios Microsoft have essentially just driven out the space for Sony to compete. Ever heard the saying 'Competition drives innovation'? Something along those lines.. If Microsoft doesn't have anyone to compete with, why would they improve? There's no incentive. In fact, it would be less costly to stay the same quality as no one has space to move to Sony if all exclusives are gone
