There is a difference between exclusive titles and acquiring studios. Sony's Spider-man game was not developed by an acquired studio (they were acquired afterwards).
Xbox could compete with exclusive games without acquiring studios to stay competitive with Sony's exclusive games, but how can Sony compete with a 69 billion dollar acquisition?
- madrox 4y agoI fail to see how the means of acquiring exclusivity matters if the outcome is the same. Would this feel different if Microsoft slowly acquired exclusivity of these franchises over 20 years instead of in a single day?
- ThatPlayer 4y agoThe difference isn't the means, the difference is the scale. Microsoft acquiring exclusivity for all of a big publisher's titles is different than a single or even a few titles. Would what be the same? Would it still be bad and I believe the FTC should block it? Yes. But there's also a lot more variables than just once sentence hypothetical.
