In order to promote the acquisition of Activision Blizzard, Microsoft said in the latest disclosed documents that Sony and a number of game studios have signed an “Xbox opt-out” agreement to ensure that many games such as “Final Fantasy VII Remake” will not will ever be available on the Xbox platform.
In fact, lockout tactics are very common in the gaming industry and while it seems unethical, it doesn’t help because competitors use this strategy to grab market share.
In addition, other content mentioned in the document, Sony has also signed an exclusive contract with third-party manufacturers, including “Final Fantasy 7 Remake”, “Final Fantasy XVI”, “Silent Hill 2 Remake” and many other games.
Although Microsoft has also made similar cases in history of exclusive exclusives or limited-time exclusives, it seems to attract more and more criticism than Sony, what do you think of this in front of the screen?
