Yes, of course it's a trade off between people unable to play because they don't own the console/pc/phone/laptop and people who can't afford to spend 100 bucks on one game. In this case, redfall will be the first Arkane game I'll be playing day one, and Forza Motorport the first Motorsport game I'll be playing day one, etc. Gaming is traditionally a very expensive hobby and I've been unable to play dozens of games purely due to the cost of purchasing them. Now that it's releasing in a way that makes it very, very affordable for people to play it, that's exactly what will happen. That's the part that irks me a little with the whole "I just want more people to be able to play the game!" That is good for gaming.Ĭlick to shrink.So you say this, but do you think more people would play this game if MS didn't acquire Zenimax and the game was only releasing full price? You cannot be OK with timed exclusivity, developer and publisher buyouts and the moment they hit platform holders, guys have an epiphany. People need to choose a hill that they are willing to die on, and die on that hill. In any case, I did not like people complaining about timed exclusivity when Microsoft similarly had the means to chase that.Ģ. For some, it was they need to do what Sony is doing. My opinion has always been that I would want Microsoft getting more developers in as opposed to spending money on timed exclusivity. You spent yours in a way that suited your needs. Stop worrying about how people spend their money. I doubt that even the regulators notice that this is probably not the best way around it because these cloud providers are going to be dependent on Microsoft for IP. Maybe people should look at what that means, and why the focus now seems to be on nascent markets. There is no issue when it comes to antitrust. I dont complain about anyone doing this because it is just business and how the industry works, but when you get pissy about Sony doing it and getting defensive when it is brought up that MS has done this for the better part of a decade with Xbox when they could then the only hypocrisy is what is coming out of you. Which is the same game that MS played for more than EIGHT YEARS when they were able to. If things were more like the PS3/360 gen (which the 360 had the vast lead the majority of the gen) then Xbox would have continued and played the same game Sony is playing with content. Sony was doing the same with Street Fighter V and FFVIIR, so why did it stop for Xbox only after this? They lost their sway in the market due to PS4 sales starting to eclipse the maketshare they were both fighting for. Not even 10 years ago today was the Xbox One announced yet, it is still relatively recent that they were doing things like this since they launched the Xbox One with Dead Rising 3 exclusive, then the next year Titanfall exclusive, and 2015 with Rise of the Tomb Raider exclusive (I wont even include the PUBG exclusivity in 2017). Because it was the same exact tactics used that are repulsive to Xbox fans like yourself.
