Hating Sony doing it again: Paying publishers to not put games on Xbox Gamepass

[Leasy]

You can't put it on gamepass

But we not putting on psnow either

But you gotta tell how much they offered you so we'll know how much to offer someone else incase we do.



Y'all wonder why I hate on Sony. Mad extra

They can't stop the growth its sad the say and this explains why Microsoft went on a buying binge of publishers.

The brick and motar way of gaming is over and Sony wasn't prepared.

Sony out here scared to death of Xbox Gamepass read 1.9.4




Why not put the shyt on their service for the people??? No they wanna charge 70 bucks

This is from months ago. I think it came out in April.

The crux of all of this isn't paying for exclusive content because all these companies have done that. It's Sony using their market leadership position to get sweetheart deals with major publishers on AAA games to hamper or limit what can come to Xbox Game Pass.

Microsoft is basically saying we tried to compete with Sony and were unsuccessful so we went a different way and instead of Sony competing with us they're trying to use anti-competitive practices to damage a business model that's different from theirs because they perceive it as a threat to their dominance.

Notice they aren't targeting Xbox as a console with that Resident Evil deal they're specifically targeting Xbox Game Pass.

Shrewd business practices but clearly anti-consumer. They know that if someone happens to own both consoles and a multi-plat game comes to gamepass, they gonna play it there.

Stans in here really defending this shyt tho


I’m convinced Sony could talk about y’all’s momma and you’d be like “yeah that bytch did ground me on some bs back in the 3rd grade, I guess she had it coming”

welp

Microsoft and SIE both made competing bids for Valheim and Immortality to have those games on their subscription services. Microsoft won both bids.
Sony typically does not require subscription exclusivity for games included on PS Plus. Microsoft often requires day one Game Pass titles to not be made available on competing subscription services.

And? Sony keeps shyt off Xbox entirely.

You notice how it's no big deal when things are revealed to be different from how we were led to believe? It's funny watching people lose the energy to criticize this stuff.

And? Sony keeps shyt off Xbox entirely.

MS has done this and they still continue to do this.
