      I… I dont understand this.

      It’s really not that hard to understand.

      Wouldn’t this just hurt playstation and make more people buy xbox?

      MS buying Activision is about hurting PlayStation.

      Sony is like a pissed off 5 year old

      No, they’re protecting secrets from the competition. It’s not like MS will just send their prototypes of the Series X successor to Sony either.

        Couldn’t there simply just be a contract between sony and Microsoft about the specs and keeping them under a specific umbrella and that’s it? I feel like it’s an incredibly easy solution

    I really hope Ms gets activation, for switch it means same day releases on all activation games.

      I will never understand gamers wanting all the game devs and publishers to be owned by 2 or 3 large corporations but ok.

        It’s mainly because I’m a switch player, MS and Nintendo made a deal that would give switch players same-day release as xbox activation games. And all xbox activision games would also be ported to switch. They pitched the deal to Sony as well, but Sony wasn’t having it.
