  1. I just love how consistent gamers are.
    When Epic Games were buying studios and making deals to make games that were planned for Steam now exclusive now to the epic games: "thats anti consumer"
    When Microsoft buys Bethesda potentially making ips that have been cross platform for almost ever: "haha, ponies mad, sony fan boys seething"
    I hate the console wars, and some of you must love the taste of leather to be able to lick Microsoft's boots this mucn.

  3. My view is this. Nintendo and PlayStation have always had the exclusives, with Sony even going as far as buying exclusivity for some games either timed or permanently to give Xbox even less games. Microsoft has been lacking exclusives for the Xbox the entirety of the 8th generation, so why shouldn't they keep some games to themselves, especially when they spent $7.5B to do so? To expect anything less would be hypocritical.

  4. Yeah best. Try to beet 2k and rock star and ea. For being the biggest casino in the world. I doubt it. I hope sow but it's the modern day gaming company. Yes they can but they don't want to.

  5. I get having exclusives when you fund the development of original IP's, but buying up long running multiplatform franchises and locking them off to long time fans because they aren't xbox/pc gamers is utter bs. That doesn't make me want an xbox, it just makes me resent microsoft.

    Similarly, I think making FF16 sony exclusive is wrong for the same reason.

  6. I'd prefer if it was timed exclusives for Bethesda games. No reason why people on PS5 shouldn't be able to play the next Doom for example. Also by timed exclusives, I mean at least one week apart or at most one month apart. Any longer would be BS.

  7. In my opinion is exclusive games should end man like honestly it's getting to this point in the gaming industry in my opinion with these new gen consoles and every new console every seven years I really kind of feel like it's getting closer and closer to the end of exclusivity I know some people would disagree with that and that's the other right to your opinion I just feel like it's getting to that point because think about it you know how many people in this PlayStation 4 Community want to play Halo you know how many people in the Xbox Community wants to play God of War you really think about it the money they're going to make is going to be crazy because many people want to play Gears of War many people want to play Killzone shadow Fall and Kill Zone on the Xbox or God of War are rising for being West you get my point he'll be great to have no exclusivity and you know how many people on Xbox one to play Spider-Man that's what I'm really want to bring out here it's that exclusively needs to stop

  9. All those dollars and no sense. Anyone with $120 can play all the new 'exclusives' for a year on Gamepass Ultimate without even owning an Xbox console. $7.1 billion is alot of $ to spend only getting the price of 2 retail games per year back from each gamer while gamers on Switch and PS purchase 3-4 games per year on average plus subscription services. Not sure who thought this move would be profitable, but it isn't. It will take SO long to just break even, and all that time they're not making any profit in the meantime. And you know the quality from all these studios is gonna take a massive hit. Who wants to dump they're heart and soul into games that fetch $15 a month as opposed to $70 each? So glad I have my PS5 and Switch for quality and my Series S for quantity.
