@kingtito: Hu. You dont even know the difference between a developer, publisher/holding company.

The question was: When did Nintendo/Sony aquire a major publisher?

And you obviously forgot what the conversation was about. Doesn't surprise me you've been crying about what I said for over a week now. Send me your address and I'll ship some tissue

Ok then, enlighten me with your deep thoughts regarding the subject, maybe then you ll stop avoiding the debate and start answering the question. Or anyone else for that matter.

MS is the only company to acquire a publisher as far as I am aware.

There is no need for deep thought on this subject. Sony and MS do the same things when it comes to purchasing devs, publishers ect ect and making their games, in MSs case, kind of sort of exclusive. Neither one is better than the other but YOU seem to think otherwise.

That really was my only point. In reality there is no debate

I disagree. MS acquisition would not lock any of the games to one specific hardware. The other will.

Well that IS true but I didn't want to break his heart. He seems hell bent on MS being the worst of the 2

What Mr Hines doesn't know is that every PS5 owner has a gaming rig, which is way more powerful than a Series X. So in reality, we don't care.

@kingtito: It's no surprise to me that you think any deeper analysis is unnecessary. Your ultimate trump card. Covering your ears and scream "I cant hear you!".

Developer, Publisher, Holding Company, whats the difference, right? Well, neither Sony nor Nintendo have ever aquired a major publishler like Bethesda Softworks.

And how ridiculous it is to claim Sony, MS and Nintendo are virtually indistinguishable companies, with identical priorities, philosophies, strategy and whatsoever. It's like you're in need for an unnuanced premise to give your half assed opinion some weight.

Projecting much. You're the one making asinine claims "buuuttt MS is evil and Sony not so much". Double standard much

Well perhaps they couldn't afford it. Doesn't matter because Sony has purchased devs before and they've paid to keep games off competing platforms. You think that's better than MS purchasing Zenimax? The end result is the same is it not?

They're all after the same thing, your money. Not much difference and if you think they're vastly different then you're pretty ignorant.

You want to keep crying about it be my guest. I'll send you a few boxes.

Many saw this coming from a mile away the moment the news of MS buying Bethesda came out.
