This has nothing to do with Sony.
It just shows how weak the argument is when the best you and Microsoft can can do is deflect with whataboutism's.
This is about Microsoft buying a huge publisher then going to court and saying things they knew weren't true, then going back on their own word. They went into court and knew telling the truth wouldn't be popular with either the court or the public so they lied in court. That is what is being j...
This has nothing to do with PlayStation, this is about Microsoft breaking its promises.
Bringing up PlayStation is just a petty deflection attempt to not take responsibility for their own actions.
People are unhappy because this has caused thousands of people to lose their jobs, four studio closures and xbox owners should be mad about price increases and the fact that Microsoft paywalled day one games breaking their promise to their own consumers. Now ev...
Well, one thing is for sure Microsoft knows more than anyone about misleading people.
The fact is Microsoft said they wouldn't raise prices due to the merger then they did including making a new tier of game pass. They said they wouldn't fire people and they did. And they also closed studios so it's hard to argue that the effect on the consumer and the industry hasn't been negative.
This is a incredibly weak rebuttal.

It's $80 cheaper, you're paying $240 a year in hopes of getting Microsoft games, and things aren't looking great on the development side of things beyond all the stuff they started 5 years ago. There is no guarantee that some of these studios will even exist going forward.
No, game pass does not offer Ubisoft Classics, and you only need Extra unlike EA Play which requires Ultimate.
And it doesn't matter what you don't want, xbox isn&#...
Play on PlayStation and turn off cross play problem solved.
Darth, I don't really want to argue semantics. Bethesda was the very tail end of the generation.
This is what you said.
"Something they flat out just up and ended once they fully released the XBO"
This is not accurate, they were heavily advertising in EU all throughout that generation. They were advertising in the EU up until recently. During COVID they were advertising quite a bit and that was S/X gen. Heck they were ...
I don't care who develops the next Halo, but this listing does not say what is implied by the title alone.
"As per the listing, the new recruit will be responsible for creating and leading sound design for in-house --->and outsourced<---- content for the next Halo title, ensuring consistency and quality across all audio assets."
It's just saying what his job will be.
Which sounds like the type of managerial role...
Darth, they had been spending until recently.
From my understanding, they were spending far more during the xbone gen than the 360.
Darth, the reality here is that no amount of advertising is going to stop the free fall they are in. More advertising does not inherently mean more people are going to buy a product.
And he's not saying they lack funds as a company, he is saying Microsoft isn't giving his department the funds to ...
Darth, they spent boatloads for decades it didn't help.
Spending more is not going to increase their revenue as much as it costs.
It's not just Europe, in NA PlayStation is outselling them more than 2:1.

Inflation is down since they made that statement.
They also call into question the 2000+ people Microsoft has fired from the developers they bought.
And again, this is contradictory to what Microsoft said they would do.
They lied in court.
You say this in every article and it's still the same fake BS spread by digital foundry.
Every game that has 60 FPS on PS5 will have 60 FPS on PS5 Pro.
Many games that have 30 fps "quality" modes will have unlocked frame rates on PS5 Pro allowing them to achieve 60 FPS or close enough for VRR to kick in.
PSSR like many upscaling techniques will allow boosted frame rates in the sames way upscaling works on other platforms. ...

I am playing this too, it's my first time. I really enjoy games like this and I'm having fun.
They also added Summoner which I do know quite a bit about it's also really good.
Great month for PS+ all round.
Edit: I hope Sony sees the popularity of this style of game because i have for years (since PS3) been wanting and saying they should make spin off games of their popular series but in different genres.

It's not three times the price.
Just wait in a month or two there will be another article talking about Microsoft also raising the prices in Turkey.
Just like people were outraged that Sony raised their prices on PS+ and their consoles in certain regions then Microsoft did the same thing a few months later.
Microsoft isn't making less because they like you...
Microsoft increases Game Pass price in Turkey and A...
That's not the same thing, as what you said, the publishers set the price. The price was then converted to a valuation relative to the USD.
And using a valuation relative to the dollar is completely normal. Steam also recently made changes to how they charge using valuations.
In this case Ubisoft could have set the price lower
Spider-Man 2 1.999,00 TL
Assassin’s Creed Shadows 2.799,00 TL
"It's been reported by many indie devs that Sony enforces prices; devs and publishers are not the ones who control how much games cost"
This is just completely untrue. Why would you think that?
Developers and publishers set the prices on games.
Clearly games on the platform come in a variety of prices (some games are less than 1 dollar), and the prices match all the other platforms. (minus sales and things)
<...
They didn't just raise the price though, they also removed day one games from the standard tier and paywalled new games behind a more expensive tier which they also raised the price on.
And the FTC's appeal also brings up the job losses and studio closures as evidence that this deal should have been blocked.
