Ooof, need to go lower my prediction on the opencritc prediction thread. This is going to be Avengers all over again.

Civil War baby! 

Yes let’s make the biggest Money hat in the last 10yrs and don’t mention it’s console exclusive because regulators are so fucking one braincelled that’ll really trick em.

Sick of that beans of toast mofo

Final Fantasy 7, Final Fantasy 16, KOTOR, Baldur's Gate 3, CoD Exclusive Content, Deathloop, Ghostwire Tokyo, Silent Hill 2.

At this rate, I'm sure it won't take long, I've been lucky so far, I've not played Final Fantasy since 13, I never played KOTOR, I never played Baldur's Gate, I don't care about CoD stuff, I didn't care about Deathloop or Ghostwire from the viewings, I don't care about Silent Hill.

T'is a little funny that people act like these deals aren't designed to drown out Xbox though, Sony is absolutely the market leader by a huge margin and they're doing a combo blow of their own very strong 1st party alongside a constant stream of fairly notable money hats to keep Xbox down, they do it so easily because they are the market leader, they can abuse their market position to get significantly better deals than Microsoft can.

I'd expect the exact same title would cost Microsoft twice as much as Sony if not more to money hat it and no just because Microsoft has the money doesn't mean they should outbid absolutely everything no matter the costs. Sony has a huge advantage in this regard and it won't stop until Microsoft gets closer to Sony in market share.

I do hope that if the ABK deal fails though, that what the lawyers suggested over on ResetEra happens and Microsoft pushes regulators to investigate the whole timed exclusive stuff as Sony is abusing their position to get much better deals than Xbox and they are doing absolutely nothing for these titles development, all they're doing is tossing money to keep the game off Xbox.

If KOTOR2 Remake is exclusive then … I’m literally gonna throw Ryuus Xbox at him.

also happy 5k comments.

Exactly the sentiment being spread around

Why is there so much state of play discussion in the Xbox thread lol.

Is Baldurs Gate 3 even confirmed as a timed exclusive? Not mentioning a potential Xbox version in a state of play wouldn't be unusual at all. It's like when Xbox had there event and Minecraft Legends only had Xbox one/xsx logos at the end when we all know it's coming to playstation and switch.

I'm not feelin the happiness

Bro. Let them get KOTOR Remake out first

That was a funny moneyhat because it seems it happened before there was any real content to it, then there was a internal demo which was so bad that Aspyr was taken off the project and replaced by Saber Interactive, Lol.
