Yes, just like starfield. Since the whole point of Microsoft buying up studios were to turn them into exclusive game pass studios.

If this turns out to be exclusive, I'm pirating it in show of support for the PS community. Gamers shouldn't have to miss out because of BS corporate wars.

While I don't disagree at all, I wish it were possible to pirate the Sony exclusives without having to wait a year or more for a so-so port.

Yes, it's kind of ironic to complain about exclusivity while at the same time wanting to promote a company that has built an empire out of exclusives.

if you wanna fight exclusivity don't buy devices designed to be walled gardens in the first place. Whether it's PS, Xbox or Switch.

If you hate the practice of exclusivity (or the version of it that Microsoft or Sony have these days), the more effective action would be not only to not buy it but also to not play it. When you play it, you can discuss it on forums, share word of mouth, and other things that encourage other people to buy it. When you don't play it, you're probably supporting some other game that needs the support more and abides by your values.
