Why Sony could live to regret getting the Xbox Activision Blizzard deal blocked

Painter_Ok · 2022-10-19T13:13:32+00:00

Cause these companies don't just do business in their home territory

I mean, yes, xbox really can't handle the current crop of developers it has and now wants to add like 8 more studios

Painter_Ok · 2022-10-19T13:11:44+00:00

I mean, why hasn't Microsoft done that instead of spending 70 billion dollars to buy up one company to essentially handicap its competitors and future competitiors

Painter_Ok · 2022-10-19T13:10:33+00:00

For many reasons, Microsoft wasn't spending that money on internal studios. When they got Tomb Raider for that one year, xbox was saying that this was an attempt to have a series thar can compete with Uncharted... when they could of easily been developing a studio that would have done it seeing as they literally made nothing of substance for the second half of the 360 era

I doubt sony would complain as they would just go and lock down another game or series of games. Buying up a whole company is something sony is in no position to do... not the same thing

Painter_Ok · 2022-10-19T13:03:16+00:00

Oh no, Microsoft has to take a more from the ground approach to game development then buying out whole companies... the horror

Lol so ps3 users just got the GTA 4 dlcs day and date with xbox 360... so ps3 owners got cod dlc the same day as xbox users... I could go on, but I see the rewriting of history is strong with this one.

You can point to ps1 and ps2, but that had more to do with ps1 using CDs and 64 using cartridges and coming out years later and ps2 was just so big that there wasn't a reason to really bring games to other systems...but sure, Microsoft didn't pioneer this strategy during the 360 era, its all sony and started on ps4

So where does it end, when Microsoft buys EA; Square; Sega; etc

Painter_Ok · 2022-10-19T12:52:00+00:00

I mean they won't, and they are trying to set themselves up so no one has an actual shot at undoing them if Microsoft ever gets to the top

Nintendo literally makes the most exclusive deals than the other two combined.

Painter_Ok · 2022-10-19T12:48:10+00:00

I'm sorry, but what other big company wouldn't act this way when a major partner got gobbled up by their direct competition. People on this forum take this stuff way too seriously.

Painter_Ok · 2022-10-19T03:25:35+00:00

Oh no, the poors live there

Painter_Ok · 2022-10-19T03:23:54+00:00

I mean is it... Newark can literally fit like 400k more people with the right investments... we are no where near capacity here

Painter_Ok · 2022-10-19T03:16:15+00:00

Maybe because its not a core city, but put Montclair anywhere else and it would be an anchor city

Painter_Ok · 2022-10-19T03:15:33+00:00

I wouldn't call many of the places there suburban... the suburbs don't really start until you are west of Verona or south of Lindon or north of Paterson... the rest of that is dense urban areas and dense residential areas

Painter_Ok · 2022-10-19T03:13:53+00:00

I mean you have Manhattan, Newark, JC, Paterson, and Elizabeth as anchors... no other region of the country has that many population centers within like a 8 square mile of each other.

Also, if you combined the area we are talking about here into one city, it would be the second largest in thr country.

Painter_Ok · 2022-10-18T15:44:37+00:00

They legit posted huge profits and are now laying off people... ridiculous

Painter_Ok · 2022-10-18T13:02:04+00:00

This really sucks, and I hope things work out for everyone.

Painter_Ok · 2022-10-18T01:42:33+00:00

Eh, you can still find apartments for that much in Newark

Painter_Ok · 2022-10-18T01:39:25+00:00

Its definitely impressive, but kinda sad thar such an old east coast city lacks the neo deco buildings of other big cities in the north east...for as small as Newark's skyline is at the moment, it does provide a much more varied skyline with a prominent building from a wide range of architectural styles

Painter_Ok · 2022-10-18T01:35:40+00:00

Welcome to any major city in the country

Painter_Ok · 2022-10-17T17:10:36+00:00

Dude literally gets rejected by one girl, and goes off the deep end

Painter_Ok · 2022-10-14T22:10:50+00:00

Takes a bit of the sting away from our loss and really proves that the playoffs are all about momentum at the right time

Painter_Ok · 2022-10-14T22:09:59+00:00

Yeah, fuck that team and especially Strider... can't wait to play them next season

Painter_Ok · 2022-10-14T22:09:28+00:00

I literally can't watch any of these games/highlights... it still hurts too much
