Difference is EA is looking for xbox exclusives and EA is multi platform games.  This will not benefit them as they would lose the licensing from the NFL, NHL etc if they were to lock them into just the Xbox.  Valve is all PC so they could pick and choose the exclusives from there and PUBG could easily be made into an exclusive.

You meant Microsoft right? And yeah, they’re looking for exclusives. And Madden and FIFA could easily become exclusive, and as long as Microsoft guarantees a set level of profit/royalties it’s all good. 

Then again, look at Minecraft and Mojang—they could buy EA, and keep pumping out FIFA and Madden multiconsole, but make everything else exclusive. Battlefield, Anthem, Star Wars KOTOR 3, Dragon Age...all could go exclusive no problem 

I did mean MS, yes.

As for exclusive the franchises I mentioned above will never happen, NFL contract even states will be on all platforms simutaneously and I'm sure the NHL and FIFA have similar licensing contracts (former IT guy at a company EA screwed over that made C&C).  Some of their IP, yes they could but the majors not so much.
