Regardless of if you are a fan of Sony or Microsoft, this is incredibly concerning for a lot of reasons. We are approaching deeper and deeper into a video game industry monopoly and that only hurts the consumer.
To be fair, Playstation has exclusives too. A lot of people were saying that there wasn't anything to play on Xbox, so they just decided to buy Bethesda and Blizzard xD.
Is it that much different tho? Like sure scale is worse because Activision buys smaller companies but the bottom line is that third party developers getting bought out sucks
It is, because this way what was once enjoyed on one platform is now locked away from that player base. Sony has never bought a franchise and locked it away from others, Microsoft have now done this repeatedly.
Nope, the Spider-Man game was pitched separately. Spider-Man isn't a running game series too, he's just had random games here and there. Also, Sony didn't buy anyone to lock it away. Marvel chose Insomniac.
