    It’s no secret that Microsoft wanted Game Pass on Playstation.

    Sony refused. So this discussion is literally irrelevant

        I want to replace my broken laptop too.

        But my Bank & Account doesn’t agree with the amount I have to spend.

        So we are at a stalemate.

        This is it. This is the entire news in a nutshell.

      This might be a hot take, but imo no system maker should be allowed to refuse. Phones, consoles, etc all trybto exploit users by creating a monopoly within their ecosystem, so I’m instantly against it. Should be illegal.

      Not really. Xbox gets to score some free public goodwill by looking reasonable and accommodating while Sony looks like they hate consumer choice or something.

      It’s not even news in the first place.

      “Company wishes it could expand to complete and unfiltered access the entire market with zero backlash from its chief competitors.”

      Golly gosh, you don’t say.

      Yeah I was wondering what they meant by “changing strategy.” Phil Spencer literally said in the past they wanted to put Game Pass on other systems and devices a few years ago. During the Activision or Bethesda talks (can’t remember which), he also said games from those companies would be available anywhere that Game Pass is available.
