known2FAIL 09/21/20 1:11:32 PM #1:	I don't think this is an aspect anyone has really talked about. Think about the PS5 time exclusive Bethesda games... Every time the game is booted up.. You will see "Microsoft" flash on the screen. It's clear that Sony doesn't want anything to do with Microsoft. (Outside of their cloud servers because theirs are so shit) They don't want them to set up their Xbox Gamepass system or Xcloud with them. Xbox doesn't even want to win the console war in terms of consoles being sold. They want their games everywhere. Sony is petty... Do you think they will not allow Bethesda games on their platform just because it's owned by Microsoft? I'm sure they have to commit to the current games already announced but what about after that? I can see a world where Microsoft would allow some games to go to PS5 but Sony blocks it because they don't want Microsoft games on their platform.
