I feel like they did this purely for pettiness lol
Remember how a special someone said Microsoft need to be more of a prick⌠I get prick type of enegery from this. Deep down Sony probably likes this because itâs something theyâd do.
Itâs also good for PC Game Pass
I seriously like to know the backstory behind this move.
Sarah Bond - Hey, 505/Kojima. Mind putting DS on PC Gamepass for a lucrative sum and reach a new player base ?
505/Kojima - Duh.
Probably, but they did have a say in denying it for Xbox I guess. It would have been fantastic to have this on Xbox too.
It was never gonna be on Xbox. Itâs first party and they own the IP.
That would have been too much, the game was edited by Sony on console, on top of the IP being owned by Sony so you would literally have to ask Sony permission for putting their exclusive on a competitor service.
At this point, Friday is either bad news day or troll news day for MS.
We had a lot of âneverâ happen in the last years with Sony. Iâm just sayin
Live feed of furious Sony fanboys on twitter streets today.
The only reason this is happening is because the game is published by a 3rd party on PC that is the reason why itâs only on PC. It is the exact same scenario like MLB that is only multiplatform because MLB forced Sony and they are publishing it on Xbox not Sony.
Watch Sonyâs GAAS games end up on Xbox
Nah I donât think itâll happen because they have enough of a player base that PS5+PC only is big enough. Not saying it canât or will never happen but I just doubt it. Sony is too petty to do that anyway even if it was more profitable I can see them not doing it out of spite. Probably the reason why Microsoft are going for deals like this because they know it pisses them off Xd
There will just be other reasons in the future
Well is it just luck or chance theyâre both published by 3rd parties? Why isnât HZD on Game Pass for PC unless you think thatâs coming.
Sony is blocking 3rd party titles from hitting Game Pass, I highly doubt theyâre like sure we donât mind our 1st party IP on Game Pass though.
There going to be less reasons in the future. Sony is going to tighten up these contracts.
If Sony continues to half ass their PC initiative and get outgrown by Game Pass there will be millions of reasons. And they are all green.
I doubt that. The next battleground will be the ecosystem.
But I like the moves like this. It was aggressive move from Xbox. They should do more Get ASW games on Xbox.
