All of these are solved with the parity contract

As for the price being unviable for their subscription… tough shit?

MS have to eat the cost of putting it on GP too and you have more market share, a consequence of having more market share

Youre mistaken. Theyre offering cod. If they offer cod to luna. Fair play. But ma have never said theyll offer all of their abk games to ps plus

The games ms are offerng are their own games on steam that you can buy and then stream

Not in a million years will MS offer their 1st party games on luna. Lets get that straight.

At this point, It is literally Jim Ryan standing there in his pants, screaming at the clouds.

Nobody else seems to be against this now. MS has managed to convince almost everybody that this deal should happen.

The fear is that the CMA will still listen to him and his nonsense.

Hopefully it close before June Diable 4 release date. I still have not buy it yet, still holding out hope for Gamepass day 1.

Sony already has a parity contract with anyone who wants to make a game for PlayStation. You can’t artificially make the PlayStation version inferior.

In fact, I think this was the reason why some indie developers had to choose between Xbox One and PS4. Xbox wanted the game to be released on Xbox first. PlayStation wanted best version.

The statement about MS pushing innovation the most over the last two decades (compared to Sony at least) is absolutely spot on. Barring a few gimmicks on a controller almost nobody uses, Sony has sat idly in their market position whereas MS has constantly been either changing paradigms or injecting major QoL systems to their hardware and OS (BC says hello).

Wait… so which is it Sony, is your amalgamation of PSN+ actually the largest in the comparable sector or is Game Pass far ahead now….? It can’t be both… I hate this fucking company - corruption and bully tactics are why they are where they are.

Yeah, I generally just like games, but Sony as a company has made me seriously consider just getting rid of my PlayStation and never buying one of their consoles again.

Kind of funny how one forum ignored that statement about Game Pass is more engaging than PS+ from Sony. I guess that will break them if they do post it.

There’s business and there’s just moronic business each time Jim speaks keeps digging his hole . Every time I keep hearing things about this deal I’m reminded how Sony is fucked either way whether it’s blocked or left through.

Support the devs, support the devs lol

Ps players only wait for big games and are trending gamers. This is why they say Xbox has no games despite Xbox releasing smaller games last year. They don’t play small games.

I would have loved to see Square in that chart. Lucky for them, they’re under “others.”
