San Mateo. Calif — In a landmark ruling, a federal judge has awarded PlayStation with custody of Xbox games on the weekends.
The ruling comes from Judge Franklin Bash who has presided over the messy divorce proceedings between Xbox and the competitive hardware business.
“It is my opinion that this divorce is not necessarily the correct course of action for the parties but if it’s what must be done then what we really need to think about are the poor games who will be affected by this. They need somewhere to go and they need to be nurtured and loved,” said Bash before giving his ruling. “The best way to achieve that at this point is for PlayStation to be given custody on the weekends. This will ensure that they get a fair shot at a normal life. Xbox can give whatever they can offer, funding, marketing, etc. and then PlayStation can swoop in to be the fun parent and get it nominated for awards.”
Bash later clarified to reporters how the custody agreement would function.
“Well since these are Xbox games, they deserve to be with Xbox and Xbox deserves to have them but on then on the weekends they will be released on PlayStation. As Xbox divorces the competitive hardware business it’s important to know how that affects their games. It takes a toll on them, they’re played less, by less people and sometimes even just left alone on GamePass for an irresponsible amount of time. Now they’ll get a more well rounded shot at life as they also get to be enjoyed by PlayStation players who don’t have games of their own to love.”
Xbox CEO Phil Spencer gave his opinion on the ruling, praising the judge for his decision.
“I applaud Judge Bash on the ruling. When everyone plays we all win and that’s been lost in this shuffle of this divorce. I’m really happy for the games, they truly deserve this. So whether you play on PC, on your phone through the cloud or even PlayStation, you will get to enjoy Xbox games just like all two dozen Xbox console owners.”
At press time, the developers of Indiana Jones and the Great Circle, the first game scheduled to go to PlayStation on the weekend say they’re excited because PlayStation lets them eat ice cream whenever they want.
