Microsoft now owns Crash Bandicoot

[A Black Falcon]

So MS now is saying how they'll totally keep Call of Duty and major Blizzard titles on Playstation, and are "interested in" having them on Switch as well.  Speculation is that they are trying to make sure regulators, who, again, in the Biden administration are skeptical on big mergers, approve the merger.  Can they say one thing and then totally change their tune after it's approved, perhaps, but that would look really bad.

And of course, Sony's saying the same stuff at the same time about their purchase of Bungie.  So either we are in for a weird new age where both major publishers make games on the other platform, or both are lying and are going to do that for a while but change once the mergers are past the point of no return.  I guess we'll see, but the quest for more revenues does seem to suggest that maybe they aren't lying?  I mean, a customer on your platform is more ideal of course, but both want more money and you can potentially get more money by having a larger audience (depending on a lot of factors, of course).

Strange times...
