Playstation sucks because they force exclusives. They have tried to build their brand on exclusives and it only hurts gamers.

The sad part is a bunch of playstation fanboys gobble it up, and seem to enjoy others not being able to play games.

I would be happy to see playstation turn in to a game studio so they release games on all platforms.

Xbox on the other hand is putting gamers first , and gamepass is amazing. Xbox has been killing it and I look forward to the future. I don't plan to buy a console again, but atleast they are doing things right.

Gamepass terrifies me. Don't let what happened to movies and TV happen to games.

ROFL.

Most of PlayStation’s IP BEGAN as exclusives.

MIROSOFT- on the other hand, buys out IP that was cross platform and turns it to exclusive.

And if you seriously believe that MICROSOFT- puts gamers first, you’re out of your mind.

What games are Xbox exclusive? As far as I know they are on PC and some on switch.

[–] Rhoeri@lemmy.ml 0 points 1 year ago

Everything Bethesda for starters.

Good point. It's kinda funny Sony fretting over MS abusing their position with respect to Call of Duty while they continuously publish PS5 exclusives.

[–] Rhoeri@lemmy.ml 0 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

The point to make is that PlayStation CREATES exclusive rights with their developers when the games are created.

Not after they’ve been cross platform for years/decades and THEN pull the rug out from competitors platforms.

Microsoft are pulling dick move after dick move because they can’t home-grow good IP. And all you fanboys are buying into the bullshit that it’s someone else’s fault.

There's no "PlayStation creates": Sony pay developers to build stuff restricted to PS's hardware walled garden. All development is always made with PC (Blender and such)

[–] Rhoeri@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

I didn’t say they created the games, I said that they create the agreement with the developer at inception. Not when it’s established.
