Title: Gamers- this could really shake up the industry
Post by: Black Diamond Vol on January 30, 2018, 02:10:18 EST
Microsoft rumored to be acquiring EA, Valve, and PUBG.

Look at your game library- how many of them are EA games?  25%?  More?  Now imagine all those franchises being XBox exclusives in the future, including most every major licensed sports franchise besides MLB.  That could be scary news for Playstation owners. :eek:

I currently have both, so it wouldn't affect me personally- at the moment, anyway.  But I don't know if it would be good for the industry as a whole.  Sony currently slays MS when it comes to exclusives, but if this deal goes through, I could see them responding by making a big deal of their own.  The other mega-publisher besides EA is Ubisoft.  Would Sony try to make a play to acquire them?  I would.
