The rare time I agree with him. And it's better than he's saying because it's only a 70/30 split for the first 50M. After that the revenue share drops to 80/20. In exchange you can reach an additional 150M monthly active users to sell your $200M AAA games. This isn't a hard sell. It's a way better deal for Playstation than selling a boxed game through Amazon.
God you're ignorant AF. If you bothered to do any actual reading, you'd know that out of the 130+ million Steam users, only ~ 30 million regularly buy games. The MAUs for the platform does not represent much in dollars because you can open a Steam account for zero dollars. And a single person can have multiple accounts, at that.
Also your ignorance seemed to make you forget that a digital storefront exists on PlayStation consoles. I swear the past two years have been a goldmine in dumb gamers showing their asses online, it's not even very fun to debunk the BS these days because choosing to stay perpetually stupid on these topics just shows laziness.
Anyway, I'm going to bed.
What you're saying is "Building Valves customer base is a way better deal than building your own console install base"
It's just boring at this point seeing disingenuous shitposters and gaming-ignorant types online in general. You know the ones, the kind that have on multiple ocassions had the most data-inaccurate and dumbest of takes, yet stubborn enough to never reconsider their POV. If my patience for their type was at a 90 out of 100 prior to everything with the ABK crap, nowadays it's probably at a 5, especially after events that have transpired this year.
They add absolutely nothing of value to gaming discourse, because they're either PCMR/Valve fanboys who know almost nothing of what they're talking about when it comes to consoles, are supposed PlayStation influencers who don't know nearly as much about the business or the platform's own history as they let on, are "gaming media" who at times are even worst than the console warriors, or are Xbox psychopaths who do everything in their power to push their corporate lord and savior's market agendas even if it means rampant FUD against other platforms.
When it comes to talking games all of them are worthless in their own differing ways and the sooner gaming can expunge them, the sooner we can get back to meaningful, positive discourse and constructive criticism that isn't thinly-veiled warring.
