"I’m still going to buy a PS6 if their games are on PC" I doubt this. However i don't really care.
If Sony say exclusives are more important than ever then putting them day one on PC flies in the face of that statement. You want a unique selling point to drive people into you ecosystem. Sony's unique selling point is exclusive content with high production values. Microsoft for the time being is deriving it though pure value via rock bottom pricing....
Ever heard of pinball. Its been around since the 1930s
"Hold this L" Wow
Your right he shouldn't care. However to suggest that it would happen doesn't make much sense from a business standpoint. Anyone suggesting it will happen is likely doing so because they have a favourite platform and enjoys validating their purchase in a way they perceive to be the expense of others. Otherwise known as being a d*ck.
Ironic that the one calling people they have never met incels is also the one that writes like they have Aspergers. I mean if there is anyone here that is likely to be involuntarily celibate its you.
PC gaming was trash until the turn of the century. Gaming started in the arcades. You crack on though ignorance is bliss so I'm told.
All at once though? You think 41 games are going to be listed? Are you special?
Well they've already said they will nothing has really changed
4 games actually the rest is DLC. Of those 4 games 1 is coming soon (Days Gone)
If cloud gaming succeds it will be a damming indictment on the standards of the average gamer. I mean why would you pay for an experience like that honestly?
@Hellcat You can archive the games now reducing some hassle. Also AAA Games average at 50gb that's roughly 13 max that can be stored on the internal storage. I agree it's not ideal but how many games are you playing at any given time?
They might have more money but the question is how long are they prepared to take the loss on gamepass. They are paying money to publishers to begin with to get it on gamepass then they have to pay more to stop it being a PlayStation timed exclusive. Unless they can get the subscriptions high enough they aren't making profit. The question is how long have they got to get there? Took Netflix a while right? We can speculate but you don't know the answer and neither do I. I venture thou...
"Timed exclusives? No publisher makes titles exclusive (or timed exclusive) simply due to the number of sales on a platform. Exclusivity in any form only comes when the platform holder pays $$$. "
Agreed but Microsoft will have to pay more to get them or stop them. When Sony make an offer Microsoft will need to pay more to stop it. Because Sony already makes the publisher more they are in a better position to negotiate a lower price.
Sony have ...
"publishers don't get paid by Microsoft aside from the 30% store cut"
If gamepass is free (almost) what's 30% of 0. Of course Microsoft are subsidising publishers.
The point is when your competitors are increasing the publishers revenue year on year the publishers will want you to offset that with even greater subsidies. I can see more timed exclusives going to PlayStation because of this, and if Microsoft want to prevent that they'r...
Luckily the switch is region fee i think. I'll be importing from the states then.
I agree its an oversight. Conversely its another reason why i don't like auto updates.
Tun off auto updates.
What do you think is most likely contributing to the loss? I'm willing to bet Microsoft make a bundle off of accessories.
@Orchard
Throwing stones in glass houses again are we?Pot calling kettle black much?. And any other idioms which may apply.
Given either side is equally capable of spouting nonsense why bother pointing out either.
Do let me know when the hypocrisy stops.
How are they being robbed exactly. It's written in the terms and conditions right?
Why do people expect business to be conducted on the basis of sentiment alone. Competition dictates price. It's also what drives improvement.

Looks like someone just wants to score points instead of just being happy that some games are appearing on PC
