Yeah it is heading that way.
1 - No communication between big 1st party releases
2 - Keeping 3rd party titles away from other platforms
3 - No 1st party showcase now for over a year and a half
4 - No Game Pass equivalent service, PS Essentials/PS+ is not good and is a far more expensive and not as diverse
But anyways - If the deal goes through, Sony will need to actually start speaking more because right now they are starting to speak very little and its getting very annoying. No showcases, no games, and the recent showcase wasn't interesting. Where is 1st party?
