SoP was better than the showcase. Insomniac going strong. No Rise or Stellar Blade, Sony are still publishing and all that but I guess they will be shown at TGA? Also Helldivers stay out of this year is a good idea but a little further than I selfishly wanted.

I think some of these people have given themselves brain-rot from being on these forums for too long and have allowed themselves to be sucked into this downward spiral by trolls and shills.I love this post right here

I meant that the exclusive clause was 6 months but it didn’t show up anywhere else after 20 months. Maybe that was a different game.
All zenimax games were third party & soon Activision blizzard games but when they get turned exclusive it's fine because Xbox parent company has the money to buy the publisher's you Microsoft shill
You're on here talking about who cares it's 3rd party & then when the next doom or the evil within gets announced that were 3rd party games & they're exclusive to Xbox you'll be on here high fiving yourself elated that Xbox got took something that was multiplatform (console) & took it away
FF7 will not be on Xbox unless MS has found a way to get through business contracts
Microsoft confirms that Sony has blocked these 4 games from hitting Xbox forever
Silent Hill 2, Final Fantasy VII Remake, and more are apparently being held hostage by Sony.www.windowscentral.com
Which Phil Spencer himself even mentioned recently on IGN about FF7 and FF16.
You're quoting a source going with the language of Sony "blocking" those games from Xbox. Do you remember what also happened during this ABK saga? A bunch of MS-funded Senators making threats to "investigate and punish" Sony for "blocking Japanese games from releasing on Xbox".
And now with Rebirth, the initial exclusivity window drops from 1 year to 3 months? Why does that happen, for a company that's said they want PlayStation to be "the home of Final Fantasy"? Why does that happen, after Square-Enix gets a new CEO? A new CEO who was very quick to start pushing better optics between SE and Microsoft?
C'mon, you are better than this. Some kind of wrench has been thrown in the dynamic between Sony and Square-Enix. I'm not using anyone else's words or thoughts to reach this conclusion, just common sense from analyzing a pattern of events and connecting some dots. Could I be wrong? Of course. And, I would actually hope I am wrong in this case. But something regarding the deal for Rebirth just doesn't seem right, if we're talking about Sony and Square-Enix's partnership being as ironclad as when FF VII, Intergrade, XVI, Forspoken etc. deals were made.

Feels like this forum has gotten worse since I joined, despite the majority of the worst trolls having been banned.
I'm willing to bet the terms of that deal were made long before those senators started blowing hot air. I'm not sure how you guys can stand being in a constant state of panic and despair over every little thing that happens and speculate based on pretty large leaps in logic. At any rate, I'm playing the shit out of this game, just like I did with FF16 despite all the hate and negativity that was thrown its way.

There does seem to be some cosmic, poetic justice where the more Microsoft tries to brute force their way this generation, the worse they do. Sales down double digits year over year in last months npds that came out today and starfield being star mid just recent examples.
Yes I know the name of the game with these regulatory trials is to lie and make the other company look bad. But that’s a very specific thing to lie about. It’s not hard to believe either seeing how the game is still not on Xbox and only went to PC. Pretty simple to come to the conclusion that Sony has an exclusive deal with FF7.
Once again people are harping this 3 month time frame. That’s all it is. It does not mean the game will be everywhere else after May. FF7R 1 already had a 1 year deal and it never showed up on PC until almost 2 years later. No Xbox.
Maybe Sony felt they don’t need to pay for a longer deal since they know it will be console exclusive to PS5 anyway? Who knows.
If both games do end up on Switch 2 and Xbox then that’s still not really Sony’s fault. That means the new president is no longer taking Sonys money and wants their games on all platforms. I don’t know. That doesn’t automatically mean success anyway as we’ve seen from other games going multiplatform so he better know what he’s doing.
Games being exclusive to a console, especially PS5, has a certain Ora and excitement that some multiplatform all you can eat type games do not have.
If the new Square Enix president falls for Phil Spencer’s fake narrative about play everywhere and billions of gamepass players like they fooled Sega and Bandai Namco with, then fuck them too. Their games deserve to end up becoming worthless if they abandon the console and loyal fanbase that made their games like Final Fantasy become popular and a global success.
But as of right now I don’t believe the relationship with Sony went bad or anything. FF7 is still exclusive to PlayStation. And so are some other games. We’ll see what happens with FF and future exclusive deals.
