Excusives are becoming less and less over time. And it's a good thing. Not sure why anyone would have a problem with it.

Exclusivity really only benefits the corporation by creating an incentive to choose their product at the expense of greater sales potential.

They do absolutely nothing for the consumer at all besides virtual bragging rights in console wars.

Here we go again with the consumer rights/morality argument :russell:.

You guys always go for the "it's not right!" argument while hypocritically participating in the very same industry by buying said products. Almost everyone in this thread has bought exclusive games on a platform or something that was only on their platform and bragged about it because someone else on a different platform don't have it.

And what tangible benefit did that exclusivity provide to you as the consumer?

The same benefit you get from playing any game you enjoy, the fukk?

Why are you acting like suddenly you're against console exclusives when just a little while ago you were championing exclusives especially on PS5? Your posts are inauthentic, it just seems you want to parrot the "Sony is anti-consumer brehs." narrative while pretending it's not literally the same elsewhere.

Do you go around asking people on PC what tangible benefit do you get playing Counterstrike 2 on PC? Why can't I boot up my Xbox versions of games and play them anywhere else outside of PC? What if @ORDER_66 's Xbox Series S breaks down and he wants to finally upgrade to a PS5, why is he being forced to stay on Xbox to play his library?
Isn't that anti consumer? He should be able to just bring his games to another platform. Why isn't this possible? It's a prison for gamers, this is literally anti consumer.

I can play my Sony bluray movies on an Xbox :troll:

I'm literally shaking right now.

If playing new releases while they're timed exclusives is hype/fomo, playing new releases while they're on Game Pass is hype/fomo as well :ehh:

Can't cherrypick when the logic applies, either both platforms have value or both are running on hype fumes :yeshrug:
If everybody is playing the same games, the cheaper option with the better consumer rights/benefits has to be the better option right……:mjpls:

But that's anti consumer, why is Microsoft forcing devs to only have their games on Xbox day 1 on a subscription plan? Why can't it be on everything :blessed:?

Also why are you forcing everyone to be cheap? That's anti consumer we want options. How dare you assume my preferences bigot.

Good thing microsoft isn’t forcing devs to do anything.

They pay devs more than any other store.

They offer devs the most flexibility on how they want to monetize their games

And they give consumers the most rights/benefits on how to use/access their Hardware/software.


Don’t know how some of you have convinced yourselves this is all a bad thing :hubie:

Sony forcing you to buy their hardware to play games that they release onto other platforms anyways isn't benefitting you as a consumer, especially when you own a gaming PC that allows you to play these same games at higher fidelity and performance.

You said it yourself that you only buy these games on console because you can't wait a year. And they got me too the same way. But I'm not gonna sit up here and lie like exclusivity is a good thing for me as a consumer that owns multiple platforms.

and Nvidia is forcing you to buy their hardware to play those same games you already have at a higher fidelity with tech that's exclusive to that line of cards. Why aren't you on Nvidia forums protesting Nvidia? Why can't you just use DLSS 4 multi gen on a RTX 4000 series?

This "but Sony is forcing you to buy hardware." line doesn't hold up. How is it Sony is forcing you to buy hardware but Nintendo isn't forcing you to buy hardware? If I'm buying the hardware, and I'm satisfied wit the software, how can you be unsatisfied for me? Why are you trying to speak for everyone? I don't buy my games complaining that I can theoretically play them at higher fidelity elsewhere later(which doesn't even mean anything as I still need to buy strong hardware which costs way more than the console itself.)

Either way breh you just saying stuff right now because not too long ago you wasn't talking like this lol:
Cause Sony got the best exclusives. I dont see yall making threads about Tarkov or Valorant coming to consoles.

And I know you saw Tunic at the SOP. :sas2: How come MS exclusives come to PS consoles within a couple months lol.

More consoles sold, more exclusives, more homicide :wow:

Responding to Xbots:
Exclusives don't matter.
Console sales don't matter.
Executive KPIs don't matter.

What's next?

PS5 got undeniable exclusives :manny:

I'm leaving console behind if Sony ever goes day and date tho (doubt it)

Nobody wants to waste resources developing and optimizing a game for a completely unnecessary SKU.

There's a reason why the best looking games are usually exclusives aka developed for the least SKUs possible.

You didn't seem to have an issue with exclusives a little while ago? What happened? :patrice: Why suddenly now you're preaching the gospels of multiplatform?

Exclusivity is a good thing in some capacity because not all exclusives are even realized without funding from someone. Games don't just pop out of thin air. If Sony/Nintendo or whoever is either funding a project or w/e to get something made and the flipside is it's only on one platform, then people who are fans of that IP or would be fans now get to experience this.

A lot of the games you like wouldn't even have been possible it it wasn't for exclusivity. Like, nikkas freaking out over Marvel Tokon, a game mind you that was pitched to Arc Sys and Marvel and Sony is funding it and the flipside is it's not on Xbox/Switch 2 but only PS5/PC(due to it being a MP game). Boo fukking hoo it's not on everything else.

Just 20 years after the games original release date.

Surely waiting a few years for Death Stranding 2 to come to xbox isn’t such a crazy proposition…….no??? :jbhmm:
Fallacy.

Nobody is "waiting" for Gears, it just got announced. Stupid comparison. Horrific comparison. Nobody bought a PS5 in 2020 off of "hype fumes" of Gears coming to it 5 years later. Moronic post. Why are most of you nikkas dumb in these threads?

:heh:
You're literally quoting me saying I'm leaving console behind the day they drop their games the same time as the PC version.

You know console wars are over right. You can be critical of Sony now.

Nobody bought a PS5 for Death Stranding 2 either, yet here we are :stopitslime:

Your problem is stannary.

It’s why you are having such a problem with @CoolinInTheCut right now.

You sony cult members can’t fathom the idea of a rational opinion on any of this stuff.

You nikkas got issues.:huhldup:

Dog, this wasn't the whole post, you skipped over everything else because you know it was true. You're in here faking the funk acting like exclusives are a thing that's anti consumer when yourself enjoy them. This "you can be critical of Sony now" is a deflection. The idea of exclusives isn't something specific to
Sony. Acting like exclusives are something that only Sony is doing to "hurt consumers" while you yourself are praising exclusives not even a few months ago.
