And I explained why those things are fundamentally different.
With the exclusive games, there was a contract with Sony, where Sony specifically paid them money for the exclusivity.
You have no insight into the licensing deal that Lucasflm games made with the developer in this case. Seriously, you have literally zero knowledge about what that deal entailed. Frankly, all of us know essentially nothing about the entire game itself, or its development timeline at this point. We have a 10 second mini-trailer that basically amounts to, “Something involving Indiana Jones!”
Disney is looking to make money. There are lots of ways for that to happen.
As long as Disney gets the money, that is absolutely all they care about.
Ya know what though? It’s fine for Brad to continue to imagine that all of these Bethesda properties are gonna somehow show up on the Playstation. It doesn’t really matter… at some point, we’ll all see what actually happens, and we won’t need to hypothesize about the future.
But really, thus far, it’s been kind of nuts… the ideas of, “Oh, well clearly they wouldn’t make the biggest franchises Bethesda has exclusive!” are absurd on their face. (not this game, of course, I’m talking about previous dreams that things like Elder Scrolls were gonna go on the PS5) The reason Microsoft made the acquisition, was explicitly for that purpose.
