As a huge fan:

I hope not.
I mean just because they throw a bunch of money at a company to buy all their IPs doesn't mean they're going to start shitting out gold sellers. Look at how bad Rare got.
But then I don't even think anyone decent is still making those games anymore.

This, they already said they aren't interested in the console competition anymore. The new console is going to be more like an alternate PC that functions more as a console but will offer support across both platforms.

It's still better than doing absolutely nothing at all with these franchises. The demand is clearly still there for all three, so why shouldn't someone attempt to make new games for them?

Fuck Valve.

They sit on their Steam Money Printer and pull something out of their Dev Studios every decade+.

Look at the time frame between the Last Half Life game and Half Life: Alyx.

It's HUGE.

It's not for people who want to buy a new system once every 5 years or so that will function the games at full console specs throughout it's life without the need for upgrades. A lot of people's hangup is they don't want to buy and install new RAM, or a video card, or a processor, even as easy as it is.

Imagine if not only did Microsoft buy Silent Hill but then actually contracted Kojima Productions to make a Silent Hill exclusive.

I mean, at least Sony fans could play it on their PC's.

It's for people who only want a Brain Dead Simple Box.

PC's are for people who enjoy tinkering, willing to deal with the odd quirks, willing to get their hands dirty.

I wouldn't say that. There are still a lot of people who just aren't interested in playing games on their PC. Maybe they don't want to buy one or put one together. Maybe they like the idea of the simplicity of consoles where you just plop down on your couch, turn it on, and play. And sure you could make every argument in the world that using a PC to play games is just as simple and easy, but that's not going to magically make people jump on board.

I agree, without the insult. Not everyone wants to tinker, and open their system up and play with the electronics and replace parts. Some people want it fully functional out of the box with little to no maintenance going forward. That's the primary need for a console to still exist, plus they still sell very well.

Microsoft is always doing what is right for the players, while Sony continuously copies (and makes worse version of) Nintendo products.
I do not understand why you would chose to play video games on a Sony console when you can opt for power (The Microsoft Xbox console) or innovation and excellent first party titles (The Nintendo Nintendo console)

Presumably Microsoft would get their tech with this deal too, right? I always thought the Fox engine had a ton of potential to never get used outside of like 3 games...

"exclusives"

Even though PS4 only had like 4 good exclusives. And one of them is getting a PC port.
