Announced on the same day as the PS5 Pro to sabotage it even more 🤡

Playstation is done. Nothing more than a Xbox. DS2 will be day 1 on PC and even Xbox lmao 🤣

I will not be surprised if Kojima the ho sells his studio and IPs to Microsoft. He's so friendly with Phil, begging to get acquired.

Reality is all the IPs are useless without Kojima.

Even MGS has suffered the same fate.

We aren’t talking Mario, Pokemon or Sonic here.

Probably the only reason Sony sold the IP. What can they do with it without Kojima? Nothing.

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.

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.

Reality, sony paid for developing title, giving engine and establishing IP.
Makes no sense to sell it for nothing.

But of course, Playstation apologist always with the same bullshit, this doesn't matter, that doesn't matter. The same was with xbot apologists. 1:1

That is the baffling part.

What did Sony gain from all this shit.

Still the IP is useless without Kojima whether Sony own it or not.

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
Lol. It wasn't industry standard to lose so much exclusivity over the last 10 years. The era of exclusivity is ending. The era of games as the platform has come.

The only constant in nature is change itself. Nothing true has ever been said.

MLB: The Show is a first party game released on all platforms.
Didn’t the contract leaked that they have to release on every platform. Also look how that game fell off. Last update that game got was from ps3 to ps4 till this day there isn’t a ps5 gen version of it.

This is nonsense. This will only be true when they don’t care about hardware anymore

Well it doesn’t matter now. Sony doesn’t own the IP anymore.

Is it still considered a walking simulator by your ilk?
It's the literal definition of walking simulator. I haven't, and will never, play the game. The "it gets good after fifty hours, brah" killed any interest from me.

Who are "my ilk"? Please enlighten me.

It isn't useless. You can easily leverage it for sequel, corporation, toys and other shit, even movie, series.
IPs add to the value, ain't extracting it.

But keep making 132th excuse for terrible Playstation moves.

Cope. If you think this doesn't matter then bookmark this post.
Illiteracy is beating your ass I see.

Go bookmark your lack of comprehension skillset... So you can eventually find it one day.

Who is gonna make the sequels?

Again I think Sony knows better than us on what value the IP had.

They were the financiers after all.
