Except they just got CoD. Playstation is about lose one the mega-franchise cross-platforms games that "everyone" buys.

IIRC they did sign the deal that let's the continue to get releases for a couple more years, but no way MS just keeps releasing their games on PS forever.

It is ten more years. If Sony isn't able to come up with a decent alternative in a decade, well, I won't exactly feel sorry for them.

More likely, they'll just buy Ubisoft or EA.

We want lots of smaller corps competing, not just a couple giants. Every merger is one fewer of the former, regardless whether it forces one of the existing big corps to step up their game.

Not that ABK was small, and for once I'm split because holy hell did it need new management.

problem with this is the size of these companies, sony is not a megacorp in same tier as MS and they likely wouldnt be able to allocate funding for large gaming acquisitions such as EA
