This genuinely sucks so much man. The PS5/PS4 ports by Nixxus in recent years have been phenomenal. Death Stranding 2 max settings super ultrawide is a visual masterpiece and runs like butter. This SUCKS :(

If Sony can do this... Forza Horizon 6 is seeing +40% early access engagement over Forza Horizon 5 without PS5. FH5 was a bigger launch than any Halo. The idea that games are limited if they stick with Xbox is not corroborated. Build great games and people will come.

This makes sense, gaming is becoming a luxury past time. You have to create FOMO and give people an incentive to buy these expensive boxes, exclusives are the only way to do that, the big problem is Sony's AAA model is unsustainable. They can't compete with Nintendo's first [imag…

Exclusive games to PC was a failed experiment. It was always going to fail just like I said it would. Years of pushback and called everything but a child of Christ, and we've completed the circle. Consoles need exclusive games and they're good for industry.

Sounds like Sony's next single player game will be uncharted on PC. As in it won't rank on the PC game sales charts.

PS5 is so culturally irrelevant that no one even wants to make an emulator for it. What single-player games are they talking about

Sony really mismanaged PC and now they're pulling the plug completely outside of live-service games, it's quite frustrating honestly.

As expected honestly. The PC sales on their single player focused games weren't fanatastic. But they are still doing multiplayer as multiplatform. Interesting strategy honestly. Try to take advantage of both ends of the stick. I just want the rumors about Sony reviving old IP's

This tells me they got a STRONG lineup in the pipeline they know they can leverage. For the PC dudes upset at this, sorry, should have played more and trolled less. Enjoy Fairgames tho.

For years it was: “Sony games are all cinematic movie games.” “No gameplay.” “Overhyped walking simulators.” Now the same people are angry when Sony doesn't launch on PC. If the games were that bad, why are you this upset about missing them? Pick one.

“market conditions” Sony's most profitable generation by the way. There is no defending it. No excuse. It's pure greed.

Xbox decreased the subscription price, while PlayStation increased the subscription price! Never buying your new console again - the PS era ends here.

Hot take: Online gaming should be completely free, this is a completely arbitrary price with no real benefit. There is no “market condition” that should result in what is a free service on PC, to consistently increase in price just because you're on console.

Seriously, what are the “ongoing market conditions” that causes access to online multiplayer gaming to go up in pricing?

Weirdly selective in what's changing. Seems like a very calibrated push for more annual subs and premium tiers.
