SG 126 | Cumplimos 3 años + Activision Blizzard (casi) es de Xbox + Acuerdo Playstation / Xbox
Episode notes
Sector Gaming celebrates its third anniversary by recalling interviews, specials, livestreams, collaborations and events such as PodTalks. The team looks back on experiences connected with Ghost of Tsushima, Elden Ring, Bloodborne and other games that have shaped the show, while also revisiting its interest in virtual reality and its game catalogues.
In the news segment, they discuss the OWO haptic shirt associated with Assassin's Creed Mirage and explain their editorial stance: covering games, services and platforms without identifying with a single brand. They also exchange advice on subscriptions and purchases, and briefly discuss Exoprimal.
The central debate covers Microsoft's acquisition of Activision Blizzard after the FTC litigation, the agreement for Call of Duty to remain on PlayStation, and the possible implications for Game Pass, Blizzard, Battle.net, cloud gaming and the mobile business. They examine the revival of franchises such as Guitar Hero, competition between Xbox and PlayStation, and possible future moves by Sony, always from a speculative and opinion-based perspective.
The closing segment previews a weekly summer format, discusses games they are trying, and mentions future interviews whose names have not yet been confirmed.
