Microsoft is collecting businesses like infinity stones

Weird Crash Bandicoot and Spyro are now Xbox titles.

The greatest thing about this deal is how nobody could stop it!

[Matteso]

Nintendo and Playstation consoles: Goodbye Crash and Spyro.

Stella, didn’t you predict the deal wasn’t going to go through??

"We are honored to have you part of our community ...You are welcome here and will remain welcome..." Translation: You get an XBOX console, you've nothing to worry about. Pretty slick, Phil.

The only way physical media goes out is of they find a way to solve digital refunds or returns. Possibly could just make games on those little plastic cards with the 25 characters on the back of them. And if you trade it in when the SKU is scanned at GameStop or wherever you trade it in at then it deactivates it automatically then a new 25 character code is printed on the receipt when the next person purchases it. Theres gotta be a way to solve the issue of returning/refunding digital games how we can with physical media.

It’s a huge deal because Minecraft, cod, and at least one bethesda game has stayed consistently on PlayStations top 10 most played for decades lol

[CMONCMON]

Oooh bring back Heretic Hexen series and put World of Warcraft on console

[kenadrian]

Sony could have kept activision games on playstation, but they refused to work with xbox. Now they get nothing.

[RainbowPukingCloudOfDoom]

So that means Master Chief is at the end of Overwatchs next Battlepass?🤔😂

[MrMementoMori]

All future AVK games will be 7/10 now. Bet on it.

[Dexter]

As ps fan Ryan is crying rn to see this and will be in rage 🤣💀

[tahan]

Stop spreading misinformation. That quote had nothing to do with exclusivity. It's regarding Msft's strategy of gamers being able to playvon different devices that support gamepass.

[yusefyohan]

Microsoft gonna buy out IGN next and make them rate all their games no less than 8/10

[herrdavidw]

What we saw in the PC vs. Mac during the 90's in computing now we're seeing Xbox vs. Playstation in gaming.

[djtomoy]

as a laissez faire capitalist this news is quite pleasing

[ZardozXerxes]

Hopefully microsoft stops blizzard being so bad.

Ok xbox please please build new series and original ips, you bought these big studios now invest and build something new . Imagine cyberpunk scale, but the quality of some like rdr 2. Money's not a problem, please create new things that we couldn't have ever experienced before.

Pls remaster the previous transformers games from 360 history
