Why Sony says it can’t trust Microsoft’s Call of Duty offer? Answer: Bethesda
I normally respect Ars a lot for their reporting, but they also conveniently ignore Minecraft that not only continues to get support on other platforms but other platforms also get any of the spinoffs.<p>To my knowledge Microsoft never made any commitment saying that Bethesda games would always come out on other platforms.<p>I also still think that Sony is being incredibly hypocritical here with how they are responding considering their love of making exclusive contracts. Final Fantasy being a big example right now but it seems to be a trend that Square and Sony will continue.<p>It remains to be seen how Sony will actually handle Bungie.<p>Ultimately the way I see it, is the Activision deal actually a good thing? I don&#x27;t know, it is a lot of studios going under Microsoft. But on the flip side Sony has a very nasty tendency of getting cocky in gaming and making some very anti consumer decisions. Ex: The price of the PS3, backwards compatibility, cross play multiplayer, and others.<p>The simple fact is we need competition in the console marketplace, without it I doubt we would have ever gotten any playstation games on PC, which they still seem reluctant to support at all.
