Hear me out, Xbox GamePass App on Playstation 😂

I can't believe they're allowing Microsoft to buy AB. Pretty soon there will be no competition at all

I could see Sony going and making everything under their umbrella an exclusive in response to this.

Honestly, I don't really give a crap about Sony Playstation being angry. I don't play console generally but had to buy a Playstation 4 to play God of War, Marvel's Spider-man and the Uncharted games. All of those btw have either just appeared on PC or will show up in the next few months. So Playstation says Microsoft isn't allowed to make games platform exclusive but Playstation is allowed to do it?

Sony just reimagine Killzone. Make a property for PS and PC which is better than Call of Duty
