That’s a bold move, Cotton. Let’s see if it pays off for them.
Tap for spoiler
Valve has made the console model irrelevant. This is Sony officially giving up on the gaming market.
Valve still hasn’t figured out physical copies and reselling.
But then, maybe they eventually will, or Sony and Nintendo give up on physicals (as they seem to want to)
Both companies are leaning hard on digital only sales. Between the standard PS5 shipping without a disc drive and Switch 2 cartridges being little more than download keys the physical retail market is in its last dying gasps. Steam handily has both companies beat in terms of game catalog availability and affordability. A few console exclusives might be enough to maintain steady sales, but it’s an obvious trend that PC gaming is gaining dominance with third party publishers.
That’s funny because I’m not coming to PlayStation.
I guess they just sell less then.
Well, there goes my money then
PC players arent starving for games. We’re drowning in them
I could buy no new games for the rest of my life and still not get around to completing everything in my library (and I’m excluding bundled games I have no intention of playing).
And in 10 years time, all of these exclusives will be available via emulation even if they never officially leave the console.
So we got grifted by Bungie and need you to buy consoles, guys.
Bungie convincing Sony that they were worth 3.6 billion dollars is the grift of the decade. Sony either did no research or they really are the dumbest, most gullible motherfuckers on the planet.
Yeah yeah we’ve heard it before. Now I’m not the kind of person to promote suicide, but that’s because if you’re rich or means we won’t get to devour you alive and screaming 🍽️
Tell me again how much money they are losing because of Bungie. It’s so funny
I mean… For this to actually matter Sony would have to release a decent game for the exclustivity. The last decent one in my eyes was Ragnarok, and I never even finished it.
I have a PS5. It hasen’t been turned on in almost 2 years. I have no reason to. I won’t lose any sleep over this decision.
No problem. Then other companies will get my money (and time). I’m not buying your over priced and proprietary console.
I don’t believe them. They just think that lying to the public will sell more PS5s… somehow
Spider-Man 2 is literally the only thing they have that I want to play, and that is not worth getting a console for.
Spider-Man 2 is on PC.
Well I’ll be damned, I thought they only ported the first one.
If you played Spiderman Red or Spideman Blue
You’ve already played Spiderman 2…
It’s the first time I read these games referred as Red and Blue (like Pokemon editions, lol). Why not just call it Miles Morales, if you have to specify what it is with additional brackets anyway? Is this common way to refer like that?
I guess I was just trying to point out how incredibly similar they were.
And how little Spiderman 2 does to change that.
That’s because Miles Morales isn’t a complete new game, it is basically a DLC released as a separate game. I never played any of these games and this is just what I got when reading about it at launch.
If you ever played a Spiderman game for that matter. I couldn’t finish Spidey Blue. So boring. Cool cinematics tho.
The PS2 one is better anyway imo, and you can just emulate that for free. Speaking as someone who played the Insomniac Spider-Man games first too btw
cool, I won’t buy your games then.
We don’t want any of that… What do you call it? Money? HAH!
Oh yes they will. You’ve just decided to stop making money on them. Fine by us.
yup. if they can emulate the ps3’s insano-architecture they can sure as fuck figure out whatever comes next. they’re simply guaranteeing a wave of piracy instead of profiting off their already developed IPs.
PC gamers were not making them that much money. They don’t care about us. The sales numbers Sony games on PC were abysmal.
Fine by me. Sony does make good games and I can afford a console, so I won’t mind buying one. Most of this thread is just copium.
Oh well, still not buying a PS.
Sony: but line go up
(line turns out to be steam deck sales numbers)
Sony: not like that
