They aren’t willing to move on either.

Simply get another platform if you think the grass is greener there.

Don't worry: they already are.

We'll see how SIE deals with that if/when PS5 Pro sales slow down vs. estimates, and when PS6 early adoption rates track noticeably behind PS4 & PS5 launch-aligned. Because both things are very on-track to happen; it's a question of by how much.

And no, I'm not going to stop talking about PlayStation in this context: some of you just want an echo chamber where you shut out criticisms of SIE's increasingly incompetency in managing their platform outside of chasing short-term profit margins. Their mistakes deserve being openly discussed and analyzed just like Microsoft's or anybody else's. No exceptions.

Greetings from the Rixos Premium JBR. It's past 11pm already here, so they turned off the lights of the largest ferris wheel in the world.



Of course they are, but you need (good) employees if you want to make money. If Sony doesn't want more, people cannot expect Sony to revive old IPs with the teams they currently have. Hence my initial response to ChatGPT beta.
poor man, you couldn't afford clear view to the peer?

It's already happening. They will only realize all the money they've lost when it's too late.
I know it's very slowly happening. I have two gaming friends I've known since 2016 who have pretty much basically transitioned to PC... And these guys were die hard fans up until 2 years ago.

They only use the PS5 if something is exclusive to it and they don't wanna hold out or if we are gonna rarely play together lol.

this is clear and simple joke. if you can't understand, or handle it. you know it --->>>> your problem.

no one did any politics here nor we were heading there.
Good if it just stops at that joke and doesn't spiral out of control, but keep in mind this joke also contained a NSFW picture though.

Having said that, carry on debating your platform concerns or corporate alliegances.

Us core gamers lurking in these forums make a minority of gamers for all platforms.

What we think or do doesn’t make a difference.

It’s the casual majority who do.

Arrowhead want the game on Xbox. If Kojima got a deal, I would be pushing for the same if I was arrowhead CEO.

apples and oranges.

I think Sony would be willing to make Helldivers 3 with a different studio rather than sell it to Arrowhead.

Yeah decisions like this have basically solidified I'll be rolling Switch 2 & PC (and if Valve does it, Steam Machine 2) for my gaming going forward. Any SIE & Microsoft games I want will either be on PC Day 1 or be there within a reasonable time frame where I won't mind waiting (I rarely get FOMO).

Meanwhile I also get the PC and Nintendo exclusives that won't touch PlayStation and Xbox consoles, choice of free online play, mod support, and if I want, full Discord voice chat integration. It's a win-win IMO.

Also it's not even that hard to set up a PC for a console-like experience. The so-called problems of comfortable PC gaming are exaggerated; they mainly come from people who can't keep their systems clean or haven't used a PC extensively.

Or never touched a BIOS.
“Valve steam machine” is the Steamdeck. No tech company will ever make traditional box home consoles when you can make a portable console that has similar or passable performance to play AA & AAA games.
