Not sure I follow. The moment you pay (full price) GP for 6 months/go past the retail price, that argument about 60 vs 10 price is null and void. Owning it, you could dip in whenever you wanted, vs having to keep an active GP sub past that 6 month mark?

Its like I want Sony to throw PS1 RE2 onto the servers, but Im really looking for them to honor my ps3 digital purchase so I can play it whenever. Not keep paying them the PS+ BC Tier cost every month, even when that game isn't what im playing atm.
I don't stay subscribed. I subscribe for a month and then cancel. For example, when A Plague Tale Requiem releases on October 18th, I will subscribe to Game Pass for $10 and once I complete the game which isn't going to take me longer than a month, I cancel the subscription. So basically, instead of buying the game for $60 and then trading it in for $30 (I normally get at least half back), I can avoid having to do that and still play the game for a nice and cheap $10 monthly rental. 😂

I don't think they'd want to compete with themselves when it comes to Spiderman Vs batman. They probably also wouldn't want to piss off marvel.

100% WB gets scooped up by some European or Chinese conglomerate

Nah it makes it easier, and more balanced. A Sony that purchases NRS and Capcom and co-owns EVO has the ability to push marketing etc and would have the ability to cross pollinate MKvsSF, MKvsDC, and more leverage/attractiveness when negotiating DCvsMarvel or MVC5 with Disney. Or future superhero media collaborations like with Spiderman.

Will they buy Capcom and WB before, or after Square-Enix?

I think Square is next.... I dont think Sony will announce ANY acquisitions until after we know about Activision.

They wont want to give the FTC ammunition to say.... 'oh, Sony are well able to buy publishers too, so this is fine'

I think NetherRealm is the only thing Sony would be really keen on getting.

Great way to explain the problem with pre-buying a registration service on the promised day-and-date games... I used too much math and a longer time frame to illustrate the same problem before (the rental deal gets worse as you look at a longer horizon, especially if play one game a lot, or even just replay the same from time to time).

There not buying no1 lol
nuh-uh, they're buying every developer sony fanboys like. Even if those developers who are clearly abandoning sony as we speak. A Sony fanboy podcast told me so. Oh and that twitter fanboy who lives in a 3rd world South American country confirmed it!

It's so funny, as someone who lives in Japan, to think that these folks thinks anyone remotely gives a fuck about sony or playstation here nowadays. they're seen as western brand, moreover a traitor brand, and they're getting outsold by nintendo 10:1. Nobody here even owns a TV, cares about console, or can fit a clunksole as big as the PS5 in their apartment, LOL. I don't know a single person who owns a playstation here. They're going toe to toe with Xbox for last place, LMAO!

they're clearly very jealous of the Switch and its success, and its completely blindsided them by stealing the japanese market, JRPGs, and japanese games supremacy in general away from them. Atlus and Persona for instance, all the fans moved to Switch. None of us care about PS moving forward, lol.

They're used to gloating and holding that over Xbox, but they can't do that with Switch. They have to submit and acknowledge that japan has rejected them in favor of Nintendo. Nintendo is a national heritage brand. Land in Narita airport and you have to walk through the Nintendo Zone. Mario is everywhere. Splatoon is everywhere. Kirby rice balls may even be served for lunch today. You can't escape Nintendo's absolute dominance over the region.

Sony fanboys are very scared of the S-E x Nintendo relationship. All the fake action RPGs in the world can't erase Octopath Traveler, Live a Live, Triangle Strategy, and the like. S-E's core is Nintendo right now.... and that is a great thing to see.

One day, FF will come home to Nintendo as well. It started on Nintendo afterall, and S-E owes everything to the SNES. Soon they will come home and Nintendo will acquire S-E.

Moved to Switch when Soul Hackers 2 is not even coming out on Switch and Persona 5 is getting ported 5 years later. I thought you didn't like second class citizens 😁
