Publishers stay ripping MS off 

[Remij 4,676]

When you're losing you gotta pay up for exclusives.. it's the natural order of things.

Was worth is for the meltdowns alone

Any of these whores that take money from Microshit or Epic to keep games off other stores for a year can go fuck themselves.

what an ownage game.

Doesn't bother me

Embarrassing. MS got fleeced bad only for the game to flop on Xbox and arrive a year later with more content on PS4 .

 

If only they had used that money to fund two AAA IPs but MS sucks at making their own games so I'm not surprised SE took advantage of them. The only bad thing that came out of the deal is that TR never recovered after flopping on Xbox and it pretty much killed any hope of success for the trilogy after it failed on Xbox.

Everything Xbox touches turns to shit. It is cursed.

That was funny too 

 

MS have been trying to make up their shit business decisions with money for a while now. Lucky they have the deepest of pockets of they would've been out of this industry a while ago.

They have the deepest of pockets because they continually take risks and spend.

LMAO no. 

They have the deepest pockets due to everything not gaming 

If they were Nintendo and only had gaming, theyd be dead.

If they were Sony, they'd be dead. Gaming division literally saved Sony.

MS' gaming division is like the spoilt kid having rich daddy just absolutely throw money around everywhere to make sure it can't fail. 

 

It's ok man, there's no need to be deep throating MS 24/7, why are you so sensitive? We the consumer benefit tremendously from their money splurge, you don't get anything extra for being a defence force

They've had the deepest pockets even before they got into gaming.  It's called an absolute monoply on enterprise and personal computing software for DECADES. 

 

Again, nothing is wrong with that and because of their deep pockets they can afford to spend spend spend.... even if the gaming division losses hundreds of millions (which it did) they can afford it. 

 

If it wasn't for their deep pockets the Xbox brand would be dead and buried right now.

you're the one who melted down, bigtime.

 

When the news came out, just barely 2-3 months after release, that the game was going to come to Playstation.....people were laughing their asses off that jonb literally got so mad that he started typing, in big capital letters, spoilers for the game like a child.

 

It was hilarious to see just bad his meltdown was.

jon also thought paying those twitch streamers was worth it too
