    That’s funny because I’m not coming to PlayStation.

    I guess they just sell less then.

    So we got grifted by Bungie and need you to buy consoles, guys.

    Bungie convincing Sony that they were worth 3.6 billion dollars is the grift of the decade. Sony either did no research or they really are the dumbest, most gullible motherfuckers on the planet.

    Yeah yeah we’ve heard it before. Now I’m not the kind of person to promote suicide, but that’s because if you’re rich or means we won’t get to devour you alive and screaming 🍽️

    I mean… For this to actually matter Sony would have to release a decent game for the exclustivity. The last decent one in my eyes was Ragnarok, and I never even finished it.

    I have a PS5. It hasen’t been turned on in almost 2 years. I have no reason to. I won’t lose any sleep over this decision.

    No problem. Then other companies will get my money (and time). I’m not buying your over priced and proprietary console.

    Spider-Man 2 is literally the only thing they have that I want to play, and that is not worth getting a console for.

      If you played Spiderman Red (Peter) or Spideman Blue (Miles)

      You’ve already played Spiderman 2…

        It’s the first time I read these games referred as Red and Blue (like Pokemon editions, lol). Why not just call it Miles Morales, if you have to specify what it is with additional brackets anyway? Is this common way to refer like that?

          I guess I was just trying to point out how incredibly similar they were.

          And how little Spiderman 2 does to change that.

            That’s because Miles Morales isn’t a complete new game, it is basically a DLC released as a separate game. I never played any of these games and this is just what I got when reading about it at launch.

        If you ever played a Spiderman game for that matter. I couldn’t finish Spidey Blue. So boring. Cool cinematics tho.

      The PS2 one is better anyway imo, and you can just emulate that for free. Speaking as someone who played the Insomniac Spider-Man games first too btw

    Oh yes they will. You’ve just decided to stop making money on them. Fine by us.

      yup. if they can emulate the ps3’s insano-architecture they can sure as fuck figure out whatever comes next. they’re simply guaranteeing a wave of piracy instead of profiting off their already developed IPs.

      PC gamers were not making them that much money. They don’t care about us. The sales numbers Sony games on PC were abysmal.

      Fine by me. Sony does make good games and I can afford a console, so I won’t mind buying one. Most of this thread is just copium.

    They will come crawling back after the current moron in charge gets fired. Until then, its like 4 games.

      Exactly! They’ll cut jobs and trim the fat until they run out of half-assed, short-term methods of increasing quarterly profits year over year. Then they’ll remember PC gamers are almost exclusively adults and some of those adults have deep pockets and no interest in the closed ecosystems that consoles provide.

      Just watch.

      Lol they will not. The next Xbox is literally going to be a PC with a full Windows OS. Sony is not going to become Xbox and give people no reason to stay in their ecosystem.

      They also sold 98 million ps5s. All the delulus in this thread acting like their money matters when it doesn’t. Most of the Sony games sold poorly on steam. PC gamers aren’t worth the effort.

      People will 100% buy the ps6. I’m not missing out on more horizon, gow, or tlou. You say it’s 4 games, meanwhile I looked at the top 30 best selling PS5 games and half of them were published by Sony: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_best-selling_PlayStation_5_video_games

      Hardcore PC players on Reddit/Lemmy just keep proving they’re still detached from normie reality.
