They arent the exact same but they are similar. Both have the same goal which is to boost subscriptions and make more money. Of course sony can afford to delay adding certain games because of how many PS5 units they've sold so they have the potential to make money there like you said. The downside is most people who want to play those games have already played it and own it so that may diminish their subscription memberships. Xbox versions of games aren't going to bring in those nu...
All industries raise prices. Thats just how it is. People aren't going to stop playing games and streaming content. Yes, people will complain as usual but the overall majority aren't going anywhere. Sony raised prices over 55% for psplus in Turkey. Are you gonna stop playing Playstation because of it? The answer is no.
Saying what? Gamepass is successful. A lot of devs want their their games in the service.
To each his own. Millions of gamers do.
Just because a game is on gamepass doesn't mean people don't buy it. I have gamepass but ill still buy some games that I want to own even though theyre available on gamepass. You make it seem like all new games including 3rd party always release on Gamepass which isn't true at all. Its only a small fraction. Yes sony does stuff a little different with psplus. Its their model and it works for them. Microsoft doesn't have as many xbox console out there than sony has playstation...
Of course not. They can't see past their disdain for anything Microsoft or xbox related. Sony does similar things and its crickets. So keep the it coming gamers.
As for the Arkane founder, he's entitled to his opinion. The Gamepass model works for Microsoft and a lot of other developers. Is it sustainable? That remains to be seen. So far its doing pretty good.
You mean buy it and close it the same way Sony did Firewalk studio after they mismanaged it.
Bored? I don't think so. There is plenty to play on xbox and more coming. They aren't the ones who released concord which bombed so hard that they canceled a bunch of games because of it.
Restructuring and laying off was not part of the deal. If they couldn't be stopped purchasing a publisher what makes you think they don't have authority to lay off people, canceled games and close studios. No different than sony doing similar things with their playstation business. People didn't stop playing playstion games because Sony closed down a few studios and let employees go. Its the same with Microsoft. Stuff like this has always been part of the industry. Its sad but un...
Its always bad when people lose their jobs. Let's not forget sony did the same thing not long ago canceling games and also laying off and closing studios.
Another clickbait article.
Clickbait article.
Agreed.
If you arent a xbox gamer or never have been please stop acting like you care about the devs or the games. Its ridiculous . Microsoft should be held accountable and then people should move on. This is nothing new. It happens throughout the industry.
Yes. This is good. Next gen has already started.
Fake news
You dont know jack. They didn't bet on concord, though.
Kinda like when Concord flopped right. Stone throwing.
According to some,whenever its not Microsoft its not so bad. Gaming is a risky business. I feel for the employees but I understand why these things happen.
They are going to exit the dedicated hardware space. Thats most likely what they've been planning for a long time. You don't need a traditional dedicated console to play games anymore but for now its still the best way. I believe sony will do the same thing in the future. Right now their hardware sales are still going strong but not as many as it used to be. In the future, consoles will be way too expensive for the average person to afford and for them to produce ,and the majority ...
