Thanks for all the other company suggestions. My brain sort of went numb at this news. So we've still got the following big boys:

Bandai Namco
Capcom
EA
Take Two (i.e. Rockstar)
Sega
Square
Epic Games

EA seems like it would be the biggest reciprocal response for Sony to try to pull off. I'd probably put Epic 2nd on that list.

I do have to wonder though if this truly means we won't see things like Call of Duty on Playstation. There's still a ton of money to be made publishing on the "other" platform. Like, you put CoD on Game Pass (and maybe raise the prices a bit...) to create extra value there and lock people into the subscription. But you still sell the boxed/digital copies for all platforms, because, why not.

Then again...aren't they going to be no longer publishing Bethesda games for Playstation? So yeah, maybe I'm wrong.
