So there's a rumor that PS5 is just way better than the Xbox Series X and this.
Now, I'm just playing.
That's more of a fact.
But anyways, so anyways, let's get to the rumor of PlayStation looking to acquire CD Project Red.
Because how to combat the news of Microsoft trying to acquire the gaming industry, Infinity
Stones, and the likes of Activision Blizzard, Bethesda, and all other type of developers.
let's come out with our own news about acquiring a gaming developer in cd project red the studio behind
of course you should already know if you're a gamer the witcher and cd project red which was atrocious
at launch simply for the fact it was unplayable i didn't hear a single complaint about the gameplay but
only complaining about the game not being optimized which if you don't know optimization is basically
what makes a game run smooth on a certain set of hardware and it was poorly optimized to the
point with PlayStation literally took the game off of his stores which is so ironic and why i brought it up
is because now they're trying to acquire the studio they literally just finished taking the game
the latest game off of their stores because it was so unplayable but guess what it may not be as true
because these rumors were started by a destiny two leaker.
I don't know how it happened,
but you know this gaming industry,
everybody in their mama has something to say.
So a destiny two leaker leaked the information,
and then CD Project Red denied them
and the earnings called the president.
And you know what's serious when the president speaks out.
And the CEO Adam Kaczynski?
I think that's how you said.
He said, quote,
nothing has changed on our end so I can repeat what we have been saying throughout the years.
CD Project is not for sale.
We want to remain I and D.
and I was playing my fault, my fault.
We want to remain independent.
So CD Project Red is one of those type of companies where they're really sticking to the morals, quote, unquote,
and they're not just going to be, you know, mesmerized by the big bag that plays.
PlayStation can throw at them just like a Bethesda, just like a Ubisoft was mesmerized by how Microsoft just threw the bag at them to come make games specifically for their console.
So CD Project Red is denying these rumors, but still doesn't completely negate the fact that there has been a few reasons why Sony might be pushing to acquiring CD Project Red.
So they may have kind of leaked the information themselves, even though I have no way of confirming that.
just a rumor just speculation i'm just saying that i'm probably looking towards the future of gaming
being an exclusive type of battle sort of like with netflix disney who uh no hulu's on disney uh
HBO and all those other platforms to be if you watch that my father i mean laughing to be and
then um you know just different shows being bought by different companies
So they're exclusively on their streaming service is the same thing with PlayStation and Xbox fighting for these gaming developers. That's the best way I could put it
Because in general, if you try to just overtake the landscape of hip hop or hip hop look at it look at me
If you try to just overtake the landscape of gaming simply by putting out great games well that's not a that's not a model that's been proven over the years
So let's just buy developers have them exclusively
make games for our piece of hardware, which were in turn only hurt the gamers, but not our
bottom line, which is the only thing they care about. So overall, this is all just a rumor. It's
probably unlikely that Sony will acquire CD Project Red. However, there's always a possibility
that the two companies could work together at some point in time, because PlayStation
can always publish a specific game for CD Project Red
and have them under the PlayStation license.
But as far as the entire gaming developer
going under Sony for the bag,
it seems unlikely as when the president comes out
and says CD Project is not for sale, period,
then you probably want to believe them,
as it's not just anybody talking about the company.
It's the CEO slash president.
If I click my link to your in my bio, let me know on one of my social media's.
What do you think about these rumors about Sony trying to acquire CD Project Red?
Do you think they're trying to put pressure on CD Project to take the bag to join them exclusively?
Or do you think that Sony is overplaying their hand in this exclusive gaming developer bidding war?
