      Lol, Starfield was originally going to be a Sony exclusive. That means Sony was literally going to pay Beth money to deny Xbox gamers access.

      MS just made the better offer.

      Yes they do. They used to buy exclusive rights back during PS2 days but eventually both MS and Sony realized it’s cheaper to just buy the studios. Sony has only a small number fewer acquisitions than Microsoft. Both companies have always bought exclusivity.
