Given how rough this game is (was? not sure how much its been patched) on current gen and OC I’m not hopeful about an old gen version.
Really liked the game but playing on PS5, the performance was definitely a distraction to the point I put the game down and still haven’t gone back to it.
My take is that they’ll go exclusive as much as they can because they’ll take a short term hit on copies sold if it slowly strangles the competition. Your right there not out to hurt Sony, but they’ll do it if it means they grow.
They want people to get on board with Xbox or more key, gamepass and if a big exclusive gets someone to dip in then there all the more likely to stay. This doubles down if the next big exclusive is again an xbox exclusive.
I disagree with your point that smaller titles like Doom will sell systems. I honestly think the “masses” will just not play them if there not available on their chosen platform. What I do think they do is inform your choice of platform and keep you there between the tentpoles and they look even more attractive to the casual if there “free” with your subscription.
Don’t disagree with your point but it was only a 51.9/48.1 split of votes cast.
In raw numbers only 72.2% of eligible voters actually voted and so the split against the total pool was:
It is what it is and we are where we are but I feel two points quite strings about these figures:
-Little over a third of the population upset the established norm to our collective detriment on empty promises and questionable rhetoric.
It just rubs me up the wrong way how so few can affect so many on such aobg term basis. This isn’t on the scale of having you choice loose at an election as those are time limited. This was permanent and way more intrusive.
Incredible explanation that captures how I’ve felt/viewed the whole debacle.
I have, for now at least. Reddit is a hard habbit to break, and maybe lemmy is just feeding that same habbit but it’s an interesting time.
This looks gorgeous but the more the trailer went in the more I felt it was all very scripted and I’m struggling to get a sense of how it will actually play.
Regardless I’m surprised it was shown given the continued stories coming out about how it’s not in a good state even after years of development and crystal dynamics being brought in to help. Hopefully a sign it’s getting there but the cynic in me feels this was ordered to quell the rumours.
