As a big Xbox fan i can't really defend this behaviour.

Sattya Nadela can go fuck himself, the console is basically dead
I don't know why you're blaming Satya when this started as soon as Phil decided to dig into daddy's pockets to splurge ~$75 billion on publishers/developers to try to lock previously multiplat titles and their sequels/spin-offs as Xbox and Game Pass exclusives so that they could, in Matt Booty's words, "spend Sony out of business."



Fraud alert

I've known he was a fraud for MONTHS so this is nothing new. Also, as much as I enjoy talks by Reforge and Puertorock77, it's been nauseating having them GLAZE this dude for weeks and trying to defend him when he gets called out by chat.

We’re switching off crossplay on ps5 right? 😂
If it's crossplay that involves PC, yes. It's cheaters galore because they can't aim their mouse correctly.

One of the things that turned me off from liking Xbox ever again. Like, spend Sony out of business? Really?

Microsoft came into the video game console business with the sole aim of killing Sony. This was already the case in Bill Gate's time and they didn't change a thing until the Xbox Series generation and billions of dollars in buy-outs hurt the Xbox brand and made them become a third-party publisher.
 
Lol we already have Gears of War Ultimate. It’s also funny seeing Sony fanboys on Twitter getting hyped for a game from 2006

It’s also funny seeing you get hurt by this news considering you claim to be a PC gamer.

You aren’t fooling us.

Sad attempt at spin. It's right up there with "PS gamers are paying for Game Pass for Xbox players" in terms of transparent cope.

OT: I didn't see any mention of a physical edition. This franchise was one of the very few I was interested in on XBox so I may be willing to buy it, but not if it's digital only.

I mean, they did the same thing with Gears back in 2013-2014 too. Epic owned the IP back in 2013 and were teasing a major announcement that coincided with the release of the PS4. Then Xbox swooped in and bought the IP so Epic never got to releasing it on PlayStation. Also, there's been a 2011 PS3 build of Gears of War 3 out in the wild that kinda proves that it would've happened had it not been for that sale. It was basically like a curtailed version of what Xbox did to keep Starfield and Redfall off of PlayStation, where they just went after the entire publisher instead.
 
Good games are timeless.
I never understand the “make new games” crowd. Like I’m fine with great games getting rereleased so people can play them. How many people have old consoles to play classics that aren’t BC? Not many. It’s usually just thinly veiled salt. There are TONS of new games being made, doesn’t mean we can remaster the good old stuff.
 
I'm not sure PS fanboys are crying over Playstation games on PC as it hasn't really shown to have a negative impact on the Playstation business.

There probably are some weirdos that get emotional about that but let's just look at a few basic details:

  • Multi platform games historically sell better on Playstation
  • This would imply PC still has a long way to go to match the userbase on Playstation
  • Xbox has not been able to keep up with Playstation for years
  • PC players may actually become Playstation players over time
There has only been an upside to this strategy. Forget about the rabid fanboys- overall the size of that crowd is not that significant. It's only a small portion of the audience.

In my case, while I had a standard PS4 I stopped buying games for it once the PS4 Pro came out and newer games looked better there. I have always had a really good PC to game on.

Horizon Zero Dawn came out on PC, I bought it, played it, loved it, then when PS5 came out I bought that in anticipation for Forbidden West on PS5. I also got Ghost of Tsushima on PS5 while I was at it, and am definitely getting Ghost of Yotei on PS5.

The multiplatform strategy at Xbox is different, as they have been putting games on PC for years. Putting games on Playstation is relatively new. Spencer has even come out and said Xbox lost the war.

Your counterarguments do not work because they are different situations.

You don't need to believe me on all of this just look at the stats.


Look at how well Black Ops 6 did, particularly on Playstation




Sales of that game were up 60% YOY. 82% of sales were on Playstation

PC is not killing Playstation business and Xbox certainly isn't either. Playstation fanboys don't actually have anything to cry about.

Checking twitter…



It doesn’t seem PS fans are the gen talking about it.
Most tweets come from Ex-bots.
All major Ex-bots posted some spin.
