@jedinite You keep the DLC and everything that comes with that but not the game after you unsub, otherwise everyone would sub for a month, buy the expansion for half the price of the game, and cancel and expect to keep the game. No way would that work.
After I'm done playing Final Fantasy VI pixel remaster on the switch will jump back on the xbox. Hoping for AEW fight forever to hit the service or get heavily discounted. Will scratch my arcade wrestling itch.
@Kaloudz thats not to say other games wont be like overwatch ect. Multiplayer games i fully expect (just like bethesda) but single player probably exclusive. I suspect most things will go this route on xbox and sony since multiplayer games need a big player pool, while single player games dont. It just isnt in writing, now.
The new 10 year agreement is limited to COD only and is different than the original confirms The Verge. The original agreement would have been for other ABK stuff and the current franchises would have had future iterations available on PS. Sony’s ordeal through the whole thing now makes other franchises a question mark. Actions have consequences, and looks like the dragging out of this may cost Sony future games they would have had if they had just signed the deal.
@Tharsman i think the marketing is absolutely going back to ms early but playstation actually wanted that, so i dont think they would extend game pass to 2025 Id actually expect this next year unless marketing is stopped immediately, then id still have hope COD goes in THIS year.
@bpomber we can absolutely disagree on opinions. If you think the industry as a whole is worse off then yes thats an opinion and we can split there.
I’m just stating that the number of users that have access to certain games are factually larger than before, with the consoles the mobile users, pc, streaming services ect. The pool is bigger combined.
@Kaloudz no lol and to your other point, i think xbox finally having a big budget (where historically they were VERY underfunded) and sony going after starfield after securing ghostwire and deathloop really got xbox sick of losing out on games and moneyhatting only to have companies want more the next time.
@Kaloudz moneyhatting exclusives and buying studios essentially has the same endgame, keep games away from others. I prefer an ecosystem that is console ps cloud rather than a walled garden approach on only console. One is more accessible that the other, and people fail to realize that.
@InterceptorAlpha no company would ever sign a contract in perpetuity. Im sure COD will always be on playstation but they would have to re-sign on terms after this 10 year went through.
It must be the judge's son that works for microsoft, right? Forget they WANTED this judge in the first place. Are those same people going to bring up that a former employee who used to work for a Sony lawfirm is a senior director at the CMA? Naw, not gonna talk about that one i bet.
Now i remember where i saw Jim before. I used to love that show about a clown and kids throwing ping pong balls. I believe it was called "Bozo." This ain't the circus, Jim. Time to pull off the shoes and the nose and speak with some sense.
Jim is just angry that he is the MySpace of buying/locking content and Phil took it and made it the Facebook of buying/locking content. Don't be mad because a bigger, stronger monster decided to wake up and be the bigger, stronger monster it is.
@ZuneTattooGuy i wont be getting the disc anyway, it’s just a frisbee these days. All physical media does it take up space in the home at this point. Team digital all the way.

Re: Xbox Boss: We Could Close ActiBlizz Deal In US, But We're Waiting On UK
Technically i believe that MS can still close in the US at ANY time if they see fit, if they think the UK is going left I believe.
So it's just a minor delay.
Re: Xbox Extends Activision Blizzard Takeover Deadline To October
I'm VERY interested to see a robust MS mobile space and by-pass apple/google play store. Those 2 behemoths definitely need competition.
Re: Poll: Are You Buying The 'Early Access Upgrade' For Starfield?

Re: Microsoft & Sony Sign Binding Agreement To Keep Call Of Duty On PlayStation
Confirmed it was for 10 years. Bet marketing deal ends sooner than originally, tho, but won't be disclosed. PS wouldn’t want that.

@HonestHick I didn't say they wouldn't put it on PlayStation, but that 10 year deal is off the table. except some repercussions for the headache.
