We already have the first victim of Microsoft's mess: Diablo IV

A few hours ago, the event of Microsoft in which they were going to tell fans everything they plan to do, including dispelling doubts about the controversy of exclusives that could reach other platforms and, of course, what awaits us with game passwhether it will be strengthened, whether they will take their foot off the accelerator and even whether it is expected to reach other places beyond Xbox and PC.

And as we told you yesterday, the news that those in Redmond were going to give was practically none. That is to say, everything was going to change to stay the same. It’s one of those magic tricks that happens thanks to marketing and which in the case of Phil Spencer

It was the only way out they had left. On the one hand, so as not to give a feeling of stagnation, and on the other hand, that there is nothing to fear about the bet of Microsoft for the video game market.

Diablo IV, first victim?

Beyond the other decisions that we are now going to talk to you about, what Microsoft What we want is to express their total confidence in the current economic model, that is to say that they blindly trust a game pass constantly watered by indisputable successes, AAA one of those that we will have for free from day one as part of the monthly plan.

Taking this step is positive for users, who will be able to enjoy one of the best ARPG of the market, but we are not sure what message it sends to fans of Snow storm, who view this movement with astonishment and with a certain strangeness, as well as despair. Her Diablo IV

was he left to give like this, in this way?

Neither Starfield nor Indiana Jones will stop being exclusive

In addition to the opinion of Diablo IV In Xbox Game PassPhil Spencer made it clear that neither of the two exclusives of Microsoft they will reach PS5… for the moment. This refusal did not give the impression of being very categorical, nor that they were not going to do without it once a reasonable period of time had passed. So yes, if you think that yesterday the bosses of Xbox were not as energetic as one might expect, you are right, which continues to raise some doubts among fans for the future.
