Yah I’m done with PlayStation, what is the point of investing on a library for this console when all your games end up on PC/Xbox and they are even play anywhere there.

Fine by me, PC it is, not going to be dumb and spend money on a PlayStation library anymore specially when BC is very limited.
Do you already do any PC gaming?

If not, what sort of rig would you be considering, and when would you make the switch?

Just to point here because I’m seeing a lot of Jimbo claims…

Death Stranding was a Andrew House deal… so blame him instead.
Bullshit. When Andrew House signed the deal it was written nowhere that it could be released on other consoles. But then the current management sold the IP back to Kojima and here we are.

Kojima usually gets what he wants. He is treated like a king and Sony will sell back his IP to him to prevent pissing him off. But let’s be real here, Kojima Production is nothing without Kojima and I don’t see him having anymore left in the tank in wanting to make games. It’s been clear for awhile that Kojima wants to head to the film business.

Dude they are funding the sequel. So Sony gets no IP, and probably only gets revenue from sales on PlayStation? Ahahah

What the fuck man, who is running this business? Let Kojima go to the EA’s of the world then, let him sell his ass or put his ass on the line by funding the games himself.

What weird shit is this, how does opportunity cost make sense here? You spend hundreds of millions on an IP that you won’t even own, build it up so that at the end it’s not even a PlayStation IP? You give away your top of the line technology so that it goes on Xbox?

Why not spend that money building your own IP? This is ridiculous.

So paying for online, paying for cloud saves, paying for a version of game that only works on PlayStation, and meanwhile I can just connect a dual sense to PC and play their shit on Steam where backwards compatibility is on a whole different level, and I get to play that version on an handheld too if I want, which in the future will be powerful enough to run those games better than on PlayStation.

Clown shoes, dead platform coasting on history.
And?

If the 2016 contract allow Kohima to buy buy back the IPs. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Happened with Quantic Dream in 2019 and recently with Platinum Games.

Sony fund 3rd-party IPs too… so they are finding Death Stranding 2.

That is now how it works.
These agreement already have point that the developer can buy the IP back if they wish after determined contritions.

Not the first neither the last time to happen.

If.... Which I very much doubt with Kojima using Decima.

And even if, current leadership knew about it and could have made a new deal.

AND, even if new negotiations failed, they are still going to treat and market DS2 like it was their game, which now we know it isn't, same with Physint.

Yep, DS was his deal. It came a year later to PC. Only Jim Ryan acquired the IP after MS was attacking them on licenses and loopholes (505/ MLB etc.). At best a renewing of agreements and terms but that does not mean launching it on another console, something changed probably for Physint.

Not that the Xbox version is going to make a difference in the world, game is 5 years old. Their logic is like the other ports this will benefit us of more users coming form there when the sequel comes (yeah right). My gripe is the sequel is a USP for your platform with the Decima and now you bring the perception of it coming to other platforms.

I don’t even get that surprised anymore at the stupid shit Sony does this days. They obviously don’t care about exclusives anymore.

I bet Spider-Man and Wolverine will go to Xbox eventually too.

As I said. The day of PS are counting. Decima on Xbox same day as PS5 pro, Lego Horizon day 1 on PC & Nintendo while skipping PS4, Marathon day 1 on Xbox. Yeah wrap it up. Nintendo is gonna go for killing. PC & Nintendo are undeniable safe investment.

PS hardware raising price, no exclusive first party, increase price in online subscription etc. It’s literally the worst place to play PS games while investing on other platform save you money & lets you play a larger library then on PS while other platforms have full permanent exclusive & are growing

Sony isn't beating the third party publisher allegations
Also they decided to reveal this on the day of PS5 pro release. Brain dead leadership now we will have to continue seeing “maybe days gone” or “gow ragnarok”/“helldivers 2” comes to Xbox for the rest of the gen

Sony probably have to make up for the estimated loss of income from Concord. The money was expected to go other places to expand the company overall. I hope the doom cheerleaders are happy.

The plus side is now people don't have to claim the game is shit anymore.
If so that’s some short sighted decision that itself should lead investors suing the leadership.

It’s like Nintendo bombing w Wii U & all of sudden porting Mario to PC or PS

Ip is owned by Kojima. Why it was released on PC/Xbox b4.

Its not clueless to think the industry standard will carry on. Only Xbox has gone MultiPlatform

I already have a PC, and already have a Steam library yeah.

And you know what I’ve learned? All this can you build a PC for the price of the PS5 pro with same performance bullshit doesn’t even matter. You can cheap out on the GPU and still play all those games, probably not even playing in 4K so you can get pretty similar results at lower rez and you just upgrade to another “cheaper” gpu later that.

The math doesn’t even matter anymore, online on PlayStation is what 120 +- a year? Plus cheaper games on PC like, over the course of one or two years, if you buy games on the regular you are going to save money.

PlayStation looking like “casual Dad buys his son a console”, this is the last one for me. I haven’t bought a game for PlayStation in several months because I’ve been paying attention to what’s going on.

Think this is just 505 squeezing whatever’s left of their deal for Death Stranding 1 unless Sony let 505 have a deal for 2.

Kojima will fully own the IP apparently LOL another episode of PlayStation looking like absolute clown shoes. Produce the game, build it into an IP, give your technology away, and then watch as Kojima picks your tech and your IP and takes the PlayStation name away from it ahabah
Let me guess the pysint game is full exclusive or multiplat & uses decima? If that’s the case why give Kojima the decima engine + all the bonus if the game is multiplat, he’ll at this point I can see death stranding 2 be day n date on PC & pysint fully multiplat.

What a clown show
