Exclusives are a GOOD thing and without it, gaming would be WORSE off.

[MeachTheMonster]

Sony games are not everywhere on every device

They pretty much are through cloud stuff, and now xbox branding hardware that runs steam.

You can pretty much play your playstation games wherever you want.

I know on Xbox the line between it and PC is non existent
but Sony doesn't feel that way

They are slowly going that way. They are releasing more day 1 PC games than they are “timed exclusives” Only a matter of time before that turns into all games on PC day one.

"oh but not Nintendo"

Now you explain how Mario Kart being “exclusive” is beneficial to anyone but ninentdo?

Nintendo is the WOAT gaming company by far when it comes to consumer rights and benefits.

They get to profusely overcharge for their hardware and software. They get away with selling cheap unreliable hardware. They do fukk shyt like limited time releases.

And all that is cool cause you can only play mario on their little raggedy ass system.

And you dummy’s wanna argue that’s a GOOD thing.

Exclusives are anti consumer when you just locking out a ecosystem, to make yours look more attractive.

What does this even mean?

Exclusives are not anti consumer when you create something you are publishing on your platform or with one platform in mind.


It's really not that hard

So how is this different from what every publisher of the main three have done so far?

Gee, what a radical idea

This thread is arguing that as a “good thing” for consumers.

Just cause nintendo CAN bend people over for $600 Mario Kart doesn’t mean we should be applauding it.

@Fatboi1 made the OP and he ain’t even run out to buy that shyt.

If “exclusives” were so amazing all of you would have a switch 2 cause it’s the only console that will have them

BLOODBORNE

Stuck in a dusty ass situation on dusty ass hardware.

Now imagine if From wasn’t stuck waiting for sony to care about this game.

We’d have a better version on some other hardware.

Spider-Man

Has always had good games without needing to be exclusive.

I feel like people who are against exclusives are just liars who say that when it's not their favorite platform with the exclusives e.g. Xbox fans.

Stuck in a dusty ass situation on dusty ass hardware.

But Bloodborne wouldn't have even been made in the first place.

Time is inevitable. Plenty of third party games that are stuck on dusty ass hardware as well e.g. Final Fantasy XII, Afro Samurai, Dante's Inferno.

Now imagine if From wasn’t stuck waiting for sony to care about this game.

We’d have a better version on some other hardware.

This isn't exclusive to FROM. Plenty of other games are stuck on Xbox. Why can't Microsoft do something with Jet Set Radio Future? Or wait imagine if From wasn't stuck waiting on Microsoft to care about this game:

Or waiting on Nintendo for this game:

Now those games are stuck on dusty ass hardware

Has always had good games without needing to be exclusive.

but Spider-Man 1, Miles and 2 are among the best games from that IP. Those older games were mostly ass.

Multi platform fukkin stans

 

[Morose Polymath]

I sound goofy because there's usually some games that are the reason I buy a platform?

So nobody bought an Xbox because of Halo? No one bought a PS because of God of War? No one buys a Nintendo console to play Nintendo IPs?

Hey, the world is filled with an abundance of goofies. What can I say

This is lies. From made that game. Just like they have made other souls spinoffs. Sony just paid to lock that shyt down to their console and leave it for dead

Not on xbox

That’s a music licensing issue. Sega would have to find a way to fix that or remove the music which nobody would want.

but Spider-Man 1, Miles and 2 are among the best games from that IP. Those older games were mostly ass.

Naw some of them were great. And they didn’t need to be exclusive to do so.

Look at the Arkham games. GOAT super hero games. Not exclusive.

The entire series started from Demon's Souls, which was a collaboration between FROM and Sony's Japan Studio.
They were pivotal in this series even existing. Had that not happened, we would've never got the games that are acclaimed today.

Otogi and Lost Kingdoms are because of music licensing too?

Naw some of them were great. And they didn’t need to be exclusive to do so.

and the exclusive ones are absolutely better. They're the best super hero games out among all the others. That Insomniac touch was fire. They almost were exclusive to Xbox at first.

Look at the Arkham games. GOAT super hero games. Not exclusive.

Look at Sunset Overdrive, exclusive and a great game right?

No. Sony was bout to scrap that shyt. They didn’t believe in it at all. Miyazaki stepped in and fixed it. It was viewed as a spiritual successor to forms own game Kings field.

Otogi and Lost Kingdoms are because of music licensing too?

You can play those on xbox right now

and the exclusive ones are absolutely better. They're the best super hero games out among all the others. That Insomniac touch was fire. They almost were exclusive to Xbox at first.

Naw and Naw

Look at Sunset Overdrive, exclusive and a great game right?

Currently can be played on a plethora of hardware.

Microsoft allowed insomniac to keep the IP.

Only reason the franchise is dead is because sony effectively killed it by turning insomniac into their Marvel game studio.

In this instance, “exclusives” and the need for sony to use them to sell hardware has stifled one of the industries most creative studios.

But that’s a good thing right???

someone here copped Stadia to play BG3, and an Xbox to play Starfield. is that good for consumers?

 

[daze23]

"I'll just get it on PC"

"FH5 is coming to PS5"

I though you were already playing it on PC

 

[Fatboi1]

BG3 is on PS5, PC and Series X. How is this relevant?

Starfield was something exclusive to Xbox, they wanted it they bought it.

I know someone that copped an Xbox to play Halo Infinite. Is that good for consumers?

I know someone that spent $1000 to buy a PC to play COD Warzone, is that good for consumers?
