And this isn’t a Microsoft exclusive issue, especially here in the US. Sony, Microsoft, and Nintendo have a monopoly on hardware already. If these companies just buy up all the publishers in the space I can’t see a future that benefits consumers tbh

(@Mbscreens) reported
MS has basically said that games will be multi-platform "if that platform supports gamepass", so not multi-platform at all. Why ******** would Sony or Nintendo allow a service that gives their direct competitor all the money for games on their system?

@ItsWashington17 i hope the new crash and spyro games will still be on nintendo and Sony consoles cause i am a nintendo guy

@meyerpark @mr_evaporation @7Ten Probably not since they'll still make profit from games and they're most likely won't exclusive to xbox (like Crash has been on Nintendo and Xbox consoles for awhile)

There's something really funny about Crash now being on Nintendo consoles when he was originally competing against Mario on PlayStation 1 and now he is owned by Microsoft, their current direct opposition.

@thatoldgamerguy Even if MS bought every third party today, Playstation, Nintendo, Take2, Unreal and Apple are still competitive. ABK $70b is proof that every third party is safe from monopoly issues when being bought.

Banjo-Kazooie went from Nintendo to XBOX and now Crash Bandicoot has gone from PlayStation to XBOX I mean, the latter was not nearly as direct as that, but WOW HMM 🤔

@LuckyMastermind I feel like this is just more proof in my mind that they are doing what I have long predicted they would do: they are doing this to build GamePass as the ultimate service and they will have a presence in every single device, including Sony and Nintendo devices.

@MarkellHawthorn @PlayerEssence But they won't call them that, since the gaming media still has this latent problem with Nintendo (many still refuse to state the Switch as a 9th generation system) ever since Nintendo refused to go third party the way Sega did (in the 6th gen, this really was a thing).

@holammer @QuarantinedCoof Last time MS made that offer they were literally laughed out of the room. If Nintendo was facing the same problems that ActiBlizz or to a lesser extent Bethesda was facing than maybe but Nintendo is doing better than ever RN.

the whole act/bliz Xbox thing is a double edge sword. One hand its a huge get for xbox and a huge blow to sony and maybe nintendo. As we know they wont give newer games to other platforms. However its also a blow to gaming in general and might be a bad sign in my op.

@dinabass No problem...Nintendo and Sony should just join forces in the video game sector... Microsoft will STILL pour money into the only business sector of their large org that is losing money... And how does this impact Diablo 4?

@DoombotQ I don't see it being an FTC issue. There's still lots of companies out there making games, and Nintendo, Sony, and to a much lesser degree Stadia, are still competition.

(@KaizerAllen) reported
@Johan_Cheetah @IGN But like Banjo-Kazooie and Pokémon with Nintendo, the two brands (Crash & Spyro) are so heavily associated with Sony that people consider them PlayStation IPs.

(@okitsRGS) reported
it didn’t really sink in how crazy it is that Crash Bandicoot, PlayStation’s first ever icon, is now owned by Microsoft, that’s terrifying It’s like if Nintendo outright owned Sonic, it’s insane

(@SpiderJohnO) reported
@AN7HAZ @KixNobody Yeah makes a lot less sense. Why make for example Crash exclusive? Tony Hawk I could see having an exclusive game as the franchise has been somewhat quiet. I can see Blizzard making exclusives that never existed. Even Rare back in the day for years still made Nintendo titles.

@N8Nostalgia I haven't no! Dang, maybe we'll get some Crash and Spyro skins in Halo now lol But in all seriousness, I'm not sure man, hopefully Crash and Spyro still become available to Playstation and Nintendo as well. :(

@Dortokay @nintyfan1991 @serkantoto Nintendo's cash on hand ending 2021 was 16.378 Billion. So they'll probably never be in trouble...ever. But yes they're not the richest but for a company that only does videogames it's impressive.

(@vedu1411) reported
If all the Activision-Blizzard games are added to the Game Pass like promised, this service will become untouchable!!! Nintendo’s NSO & Playstation’s “supposed” Spartacus don’t stand a chance against it, atleast when comparing the services.

(@TommyHanusa) reported
@supererogatory Nah, it shouldn't be a problem unless you look at the nuances. Microsoft isn't trying to monopolize games, it's trying to corner FPS. And they can point to Sony and Nintendo (and others) and say they still represent significant competition. And "nobody cares about videogames" tm

@Oldmangamess @PlayStation Nintendo will lose out too, they got franchises like Crash and Spyro along with Tony Hawk, I just think it’s a wrong step the Industry is taking, acquisitions will continue and denying other gamers the chance to continue to play the franchises they’ve had for years is wrong IMO

(@JustSaiyanThis) reported
@geoffkeighley If they fix Activision, maybe. Right now? No, it's not. I hate that every big company like Sony, Microsoft, Tencent, etc. are buying everything. What's worse is the constant begging towards companies like Sony or Nintendo to compete with Microsoft in buying other studios.

@fireheart4560 Especially with Nintendo having issues getting the Joycons to function properly I'm sure they don't want to deal with the switch anymore especially cause they're are still being sued

(@UlrichPro1) reported
@MrHiP3R @FederalStrength @garywhitta I do not think so! Most of Activision games are on Windows PC, so we are "only" speaking about COD and Overwatch (+ Spyro and Crash) on consoles. This is big new do not get me wrong, but not as schocking as a SONY/Nintendo acquisition IMO, only due to cheer number of franchises

@nintendolife Not much... Aside from Diablo, Spyro and Crash what other Activision/Blizzard games were on Nintendo?

@TarkeCat It is a step in that direction but there is competition its not like Activision Blizzard and Bethesda had the whole market Tencent, Sony, EA and Nintendo still exist Im more worried about if Microsoft intends to change anything regarding internal problems

@dyhptg @NintendoAmerica @Konami Well they can buy Konami but are the devs still there to make games? That's the real issue. Konami might just be stocked with pachinko devs by this point.
