Did Sony Aqcuire Deathloop, Ghostwire Tokyo, Final Fantasy VII, Final Fantasy XVI, Death Stranding etc or any of the studios behind them? No. They made a deal with external studios to provide exclusive (sometimes timed) content to their platform. MS does and has done the exact same. (Gear of War, Dead Rising, Tomb Raider, Stalker 2, High on Life, etc)
None of the games you listed were a result of Sony buying a publisher.
What is the purpose and end goal of all exclusives? To deny your competitor access to games. What is purpose of acquisitions? To deny your competitor games. Some of the games listed have no release dates for Xbox despite being out for years, making them essentially acquired content. Xbox has more games on PS made by their acquired studio than Sony. You all need to stop with this nonsense that there are more noble methods of denying gamers access to games. The only positives with MS acquisitions is that every game they make is multiplatform. The same cannot be stated for Sony.
