Well he’s wrong because all console games eventually come to PC one way or another. He’s just ensuring they won’t be coming first under their control.

PlayStation at this point is like those soldiers you find deep in the woods, trying to fight the war on their own, ignorant to the news that the war ended years ago. still trying to fight the console wars in 2026.

No Problem Mr. CEO emulation will do this for you regardless of your choice.

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.
Kushan@lemmy.world 1 day ago
Bungie played an absolute blinder by signing up with Activision all those years ago as all the shitty monetisation they pulled got blamed on Bobby K.
Nope, turns out Bungie was just that shitty the whole time.

With halo and the staff that made it, you could argue they’d be worth that much but they didn’t.
DragonOracleIX@lemmy.ml 16 hours ago
That argument lost all of it’s weight after all the Halo veterans left or were fired/let go.

This would not be a problem if the PS5 had any games.

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

Spider-Man 2 is on PC.
Ganbat@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 day ago
Well I’ll be damned, I thought they only ported the first one.

If you played Spiderman Red or Spideman Blue
You’ve already played Spiderman 2…

But WINGS
Seriously, so many tasks take you through/past Central Park, it got annoying having no easy way to websling through. The wingsuit is a great part of the kit.
Only question being, how the hell does broke, near-homeless Peter afford all the gadgets.
MrScottyTay@sh.itjust.works 1 day ago
Hard disagree, if you play 2, then go back to the first, they play so differently. Each iteration has movement getting even more fun than the last.
thingsiplay@lemmy.ml 1 day ago
It’s the first time I read these games referred as Red and Blue (like Pokemon editions, lol). Why not just call it Mile’s Morales, if you have to specify what it is with additional brackets anyway? Is this common way to refer like that?
warmaster@lemmy.world 1 day ago
If you ever played a Spiderman game for that matter. I couldn’t finish Spidey Blue. So boring. Cool cinematics tho.
binux@sh.itjust.works 1 day ago
The PS2 version 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
Pika@sh.itjust.works 1 day ago
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.
Flames5123@sh.itjust.works 19 hours ago
Ragnarok was the only reason I bought a PS5. I also haven’t turned my PS5 on in almost 2 years.

Right now, Indie games are wiping the asses of big industry games. Megabonk, Coal LLC, you name it. Singular people putting out content getting thousands of purchases. I know they have a team, but Relogic selling 70m copies of Terraria?

Heh. My backlog spans 19 years. I won’t miss much. Only a couple of their first party titles got my attention at all.
scrubbles@poptalk.scrubbles.tech 1 day ago
For those who don’t know, is largely because of Xbox supporting PC games on their consoles, and then also the Steam Frame. All of a sudden they know their hardware won’t matter. Not excusing it, it’s still incredibly shitty, but this is the main driver.
brucethemoose@lemmy.world 1 day ago
That makes sense.
…On the other hand, Sony could make a pretty sick PC gaming tower, if they wanted. They could still have first party titles and such through some proprietary store with a hardware check, but just give it the ability to play generic PC games too.

Maybe they should make their console more affordable then
djdarren@piefed.social 1 day ago
Tbh, it’s not even about affordability, I just don’t want to have to own four different devices in order to play fucking games.
How many CD players did you need to play regular CDs from all the studios? One.
Same with DVD. And Blu-Ray.
Consoles got a pass back in the day because they legitimately used different formats and architectures, but now they’re basically all just single use PCs that don’t even have a physical media drive, they can all piss off. If a game isn’t available on PC, I’ll wait until I have a PC powerful enough to emulate it, then I’ll pirate it and they can shit up a rope.
dreamkeeper@literature.cafe 1 day ago
Nonsense. Consoles were deliberately designed to be mutually incompatible. All the tantrum throwing in this thread is just people crying about Sony going back to the status quo of the 90s and 2000s. It isn’t that big of a deal.

I hope that when Horizon 3 is released, they will reconsider this. It’s a series, and people who bought “Horizon: Zero Dawn” and “Horizon: Forbidden West” will be outraged.
Cerothen@lemmy.ca 1 day ago
I was really happy when I could finally play the horizon games and enjoyed the heck out of them. But if the third one never comes to PC then I’ll just never play it. At worst I’ll be able to just watch the entire thing being played for the story.
Same with part three for ff7 remake. But again I’ll just have to live without it. My console days are over and they aren’t coming back.
