    Interesting comment by Jim Ryan on how certain live-service games are subscription services themselves and that's where he sees more growth in the future https://www.gamesindustry.biz/ ... https://twitter.com/...

    A few things from my chat with Jim Ryan. If Sony put its first-party games into the service day and date, he says it would increase the cost of the service and result in less investment for its studios

    However, he acknowledges this position may change in the future. “things can change very quickly in this industry”. Here's the full interview: https://www.gamesindustry.biz/ ...

    there are some good options here for PlayStation owners though, and it's good to see Sony combine PlayStation Plus and PlayStation Now. Like Game Pass, I think it makes sense for streaming to be an additional benefit right now 👍

    Sony's Xbox Game Pass “competitor” isn't a true competitor. Sony isn't committing to day 1 launches for its exclusive games, and you have to stream older PS3 games. You can run Xbox, Xbox 360, and Xbox One games locally on Xbox Series X / S https://www.theverge.com/... https://tw…

    No Day-1 on Sony's Game Pass Competitor means it's not exactly a competitor...not a bad service but not really the same thing imo
