The UK’s CMA has expressed concern that Microsoft‘s Activision merger could “significantly weaken” PlayStation (Updated with lawyer breakdown)

Does this affect PC master race in any way?

it could keep games off PC Gamepass. but Death Stranding was on PC Gamepass, but not on Xbox at all. depends on the specifics of the contract.

@The Mad Titan you can't have civil conversation on this forum bro about shyt like this

It does, it's the reason you can't Play FF16 at release on PC.

could be, or they might just want to concentrate on one platform, and port it to PC later

Microsoft could buy Sony in one afternoon if they wanted to but also Sony has enough money to bribe third party studios, critics, government officials around the world, and award show judges

Our enemy is simultaneously weak and strong

Sony's position as the market leader gives them more leverage to make these kinds of deals

What about Microsoft's 'Whore Chest'/ infinite money glitch? If the argument is that it costs Microsoft way more to make a game exclusive to their platform than it does Sony, that still shouldn't be a problem for them since they have billions in the couch cushions

Is it possible third party studios just don't like Xbox and don't want the stench of their platform rubbing off on their brands?

I heard FF16 isn’t going to be on the Luna either
