I hate timed exclusives. Either make it a full exclusive or a multi-plat on day 1.
Project who? Never heard of it.
And MS will still do nothing and probably even release their Bethesda games on PS5 if they even release games like Minecraft Dungeons day 1 on PS. Those at Sony probably can't stop laughing how they can do everything to annoy Xbox players while MS is like "Sony is a good friend why should we be assholes"
I want to see Microsoft get gangster on Sony. I want Sony to have more competition and be a hungrier Sony. Microsoft is worth $1 trillon dollars. They shouldn't be so soft against Sony :/
Sony bringing out the exclusivity cash.
atleast 2 years or more of exclusitivity? why not just make it a full exclusive?
Massive.
Apparently, Sony striked a 2 year exclusivity on the game. Which means 2 years will be a PS5 exclusive, guaranteed. If the developers, for some odd reason, don’t express interest to port their game to other consoles the same day the deal expires, Sony should make it clear this way. It’s highly unlikely though
Gotta love the downvotes in the news section...
I really hate it when 3rd party multiplat games become exclusive or "timed exclusives". If a company can't do anything other than shovel money to bribe a developer, then they shouldn't be in the industry. Tired of all these EGS store deals to keep games off Steam for a year. Tired of the dumb Sony moneyhats. Tired of 3rd party multiplat companies being snapped up, for the sole purpose of keeping them off a system.
