Ukufumana kukaMicrosoft kwe-7.5 yeebhiliyoni zeedola kwinkampani yabazali bakaBethesda iZeniMax Media iligungqisile ishishini. Sisivumelwano esisisiqalo, esixhasa ngoko nangoko uluhlu lweqela lokuqala likaMicrosoft ngokwemigaqo yesitudiyo kunye ne-IP kakhulu, kwaye akukho mathandabuzo okuba ifuthe loku kufunyanwa liza kuvakala kwiminyaka ezayo.
Kutshanje, siye sathetha nomhlalutyi weshishini uMichael Pachter we-Wedbush Securities malunga noku, kwaye wabuza malunga neendlela acinga ukuba isivumelwano siya kuba nefuthe kwishishini kwixesha elide kunye nelifutshane.
Eyokuqala neyona ndlela icacileyo iMicrosoft izuza ngayo ekufumaneni iBethesda, ngokukaPachter, yiGame Pass- eya kuba nethala leencwadi elinomtsalane ngakumbi kwixesha elizayo, kungekuphela nje umbulelo ngokukhutshwa kweBethesda okuzayo, kodwa kunye nemidlalo yakudala yeBethesda ejoyina inkonzo ezantsi. umgca.
“Ndingathi ukuba ufuna ukudlala imidlalo emitsha eBethesda, kuya kufuneka uthenge iXbox, okanye ubhalisele iGame Pass, enexabiso eliphantsi,” utshilo uPachter. “Ngokucacileyo iGame Pass iyasebenza, ke ukuba udlala kwiPC, unokufumana imidlalo yeBethesda ngolo hlobo. Kodwa ukuba ungumdlali wePlayStation, awuzukwazi ukudlala imidlalo emitsha yeBethesda apho.
“Kunzima ngokwenene ukwazi ukuba kuya kwenzeka ntoni kwizihloko zekhathalogu, ngokwethiyori Ukuwa kwe3 kwaye 4, Wolfenstein, Wolfenstein Youngblood, DOOM, ezo zonke zikwiPlayStation, kwaye uqikelelo lwam kukuba usengaqhubeka nokuthenga nokuzidlala apho. Kodwa ndiyacinga ukuba le midlalo yonke iya kubonakala kwiPass yoMdlalo emva kokuvalwa kokufunyanwa, ke baye benza iGame Pass ixabiso elinyanzelisayo, kuba ungadlala yonke into eyenziwa yiBethesda nge-15 yeedola ngenyanga. Ke ndilindele ukuba incede iinombolo zobhaliso zikaMicrosoft kakuhle. ”
Ngeli xesha, umdlalo omnye ngokukodwa uPachter ubona njengomthengisi ophambili weMicrosoft UMdala uMsongo 6, eqikelela ukuba iya kuba yeyodwa kwi-Xbox kunye nePC. NjengoPachter, nangona kunjalo I-Elder Scrolls 6 kunye nemidlalo efana nayo ayizukubeka iMicrosoft phambi kweSony, baya kuba negalelo elikhulu kulo mzamo.
“Izitudiyo zikaBethesda, azichumi, kodwa zikhupha umdlalo omnye okanye emibini ngonyaka ubuncinci,” utshilo. "Umzekelo wokugqibela Abadala umdlalo uphume ngo-2011, kwaye bendiqikelela ukuba kuza kuphuma entsha ukusukela ngo-2016… Ndiza kuba right ekugqibeleni!
“Kodwa owona nyaka awunamsebenzi, uyaphuma kule minyaka imbalwa izayo, kwaye loo nto ngeke zikhetheke kuXbox. Ngoko ke umthengisi inkqubo. Ayizukubabeka phambi kwe-Sony, kodwa ngokuqinisekileyo iya kutshintsha abantu abazizigidi ezimbalwa ukusuka kwi-PlayStation ukuya kwi-Xbox. Kwaye ukunyaniseka, ndingumthengi olindelekileyo we-PlayStation phezu kwe-Xbox ngokwam, kodwa inani lam 1 kunye ne-2 imidlalo yexesha lonke zizibizo zeBethesda, kwaye mhlawumbi ezintlanu kwi-15 yam ephezulu; ngoko ke amathuba okuba ndithenge iPlayStation hayi iXbox ayikho, ndiza kugqiba ndiwafumane omabini. Kodwa ukuba bendinokuthenga enye kuphela, ngaphambi kokuba ibe yiPS5, kuba andikhathali kakhulu ngemveliso yeMicrosoft njengoko ndenzayo. The Last Kuthi or Indoda yesigcawu okanye imidlalo yiSucker Punch. Ngoku iya kuba yiXbox, nangona kunjalo, kuba uMicrosoft ngequbuliso unezihloko ezininzi ezinomtsalane njengoSony.
Ke ithini impembelelo uPachter acinga ukuba isivumelwano seMicrosoft-ZeniMax siya kuba nayo kuSony kunye nePS5 kwixesha elifutshane? “Akukho nto ingako,” utshilo uPachter, ocinga ukuba izakuba nemidlalo ezayo ngo-2021 nangaphaya- xa iMicrosoft iqala ukukhupha umxholo weBethesda okhethekileyo-impembelelo iya kuqala ukuvakala.
“Ngokwenyani kuxhomekeke kwizivumelwano ebezikhona,” utshilo. “Njenge Starfield Ndicinga ukuba iza kuphuma kungekudala, ngoko iya kuba kumaqonga omabini. Ngokwenene iya kuba yimidlalo emitsha ezayo ngo-2021 nangaphaya kwayo iya kuba yodwa, nangona kukho nayiphi na ibhengezwe kwiPlayStation, ndicinga ukuba baya kuyibetha iPlayStation. Ke ayizukuba nefuthe langoko, kwaye njengoko benditshilo, ungaya kuthenga Ukuwa kwe4 kwiPlayStation yakho, isafumaneka kuwe. Kodwa ndicinga ukuya phambili, Abadala ngumthengisi weyunithi yezigidi ezili-15, kwaye ndicinga ukuba oko kuya kushukumisa abantu kwi-Xbox. Ndicinga ukuba abadlali abazizigidi ezi-2-4 ebebenokuba ngabanini bePlayStation ngoku bazakuba ngabanini iXbox.
NgeMicrosoft iqinisekisile ukuba zonke izihloko zeBethesda ezizayo uza kujoyina i-Xbox Game Pass ekusungulweni kwaye nokuba baya kuba bodwa kwi-Xbox kunye nePC kuya kugqitywa ngokwetyala-kwityala, kucacile ukuba bakulungele ukuvuna iingenelo kule ndibano ibalulekileyo. Kungathatha ixesha ngaphambi kokuba siqale ukubona iziphumo, kodwa ngokuqinisekileyo zikwimeko eyomeleleyo.
Udliwanondlebe lwethu olupheleleyo noMichael Pachter luza kuphila kungekudala, ke hlala ubukele yonke into.
