Oh gee... I only wonder why all these companies make these deals with PlayStation?
Weird that Mr. Kotick is feeling upset that he might lose his golden parachute... almost like he really doesn’t care what will happen to ActiBliz and only cares that his pocket book is treated well.

Yeah but MS also has a habit of chnaging its practices whenever it feels like when you least expect it in ways that typically hurts the end user even if they're not doing anything remotely illegal. It's why I can't play my disc version of Crysis on PC anymore and that shift happened years ago.
Who's to say MS won't walk back the ability for you to use certain UWP apps (specifically emulators) on Xbox Series devices?
They can ban the account OR THE DEVICE. If your device gets the axe, no amount of account swapping will allow you back online.
Not enough gamers actually BUY the games they say they want on Xbox, Nintendo and PC. Square Enix sees that and signs the temporary exclusivity deal with PS where most of their gamers already are anyway.
Remember when Square Enix signed timed-exclusivity deals with Xbox for Tomb Raider on Xbox One? It didn't go so well and the company had to wait to make the lion's share of their income back when the game later released on PS4.
Because PS is the best platform for Square Enix developers and where the majority of their gamers are.
Yes, that's why.
You're welcome 343_Guilty_Spark.
Thank you for explaining exactly why Square Enix doesn't care to put the game out on PC at all. Also why they will launch it in a broken state with obtrusive DRM and will probably never really patch it.
It's because you don't care to pay them so WHY SHOULD THEY CARE?
I hope they cancel the PC version just to spite morons like you.
I wouldn't consider myself very good at GT but I beat GT Sophy on intermediate difficulty in 3 of 4 races coming in 2nd in expert difficulty in 1 race.
1v1 is out of reach for me. Good thing there's no prize for beating it 1v1, I'd be unable to get it anyway...
GT4 is a great game still one of my favorite GT games... but GT7 is a massive upgrade in basically every way at this point, there's no more trying to deny that.
That's a good way of looking at it.
I stepped in 1vs1 race and couldn't come close to Sophy. So I dropped to Beginner in Race 1 beat the Sophy and did the same in Race 1 intermediate as well. 2nd in Race 1 Expert. Sophy Violette is really tough. It makes me wonder if the colors mean something? I looked into it, seems they're just named after colors without rhyme or reason, anyway it's a significant change that might be subtle to new players. Can't think of many AI...
This is what live service games are like on PS... PS makes GAAS look DECENT!
Sophy is basically unbeatable for most players in driving against this AI using the same car. It drives more aggressively and while a great driver will not likely have many accidents with it most of the plebs wills still try to ram them or use them as moving barriers to prevent themselves from leaving the track.
Sophy is an aggressive driving model and by that I mean it pushes whatever vehicle it is in control of to the limits. It's burning rubber in long banked turns, ...
Drivatars have nothing on GT Sophy.
GT7's Sophy AI are limited to driving like real players they are far more agressive but also still clearly intelligent. They're capable of keeping up with the player without the clear and obvious cheating that you see in FM1-7/FH1-5.
Why not keep them both? Right now I'm broke (worse), but money is around the corner (temporally speaking) so I'll be able to get back out of the hole and maybe afford this stuff on the side in a couple months.
He just did.
AAA 3rd party titles? Like...

"Some poeple think sony cares for players... No no company does i just hope that we get the best competitiveness and deals + quality"
tl;dr: PS cares, they really don't have a choice. MS couldn't care less and this is abundantly clear.
If PS didn't care it would be coasting on a couple stalwarts like GT like Nintendo does relying on Pokémon. Or they could be floundering trying to keep pace with features while f...

Oh don't you worry Microsoft has huge plans for Call of Duty on Nintendo HW including Nintendo Switch... introducing Call of Duty: Paint Party Plus!
Call of Duty: Bubble Blitz will sell like hotcakes on Switch with Mario and Funko-Pop Master Chief and Cogs DLC!
It's actually longer than a single gen... since basically always.
That's Microsoft for ya.
