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

[The Mad Titan]

Microsoft had plenty of timed exclusives on the original xbox also

Aint nothing wrong with timed exclusives. It when you start doing all that extra stuff on top of the timed exclusive stuff..


"Capcom, You put that on xbox and we can't promise you front page promotion " Infact we can promise you any promotion or air time"
"Sega, you release that on xbox and we cant promise you any bonuses, promotions, or waive fee's on all future dlc"
"random indie, you drop that on xbox and according to our metrics in the long run you'll lose money based on what we are offering, we also can't promise you and promotions at all on anything or add time."

Nah they're still doing it. The Medium, Stalker 2, Scorn, etc are all AAA timed exclusives. People just dont care cause they're lower profile games, and thats why people think they stopped after Tomb Raider.

No. Those are indie games that need funding/publishers to exist.

It’s not the same as going to square enix and paying them NOT to put their games on xbox.

When did Sony say Game Pass is unfair? I missed that.

Either way, like someone posted above, this is just the Spider-Man meme being acted out in real time.

That’s what the thread is about. Read before posting your sony defense stories all willy nilly.

Microsoft have still yet to prove themselves in gaming. It’s been over 20 years and they’ve only managed to put out 3 successful franchises which are all well past their prime.

They’ve literally resorted to just buying games at this point. They’ve always been a wack developer which is why they’ve always lost every console generation and this isn’t gonna be any different.

I’ve yet to be proven wrong

Sony buying COD "It's not fair"

Sony pays and put in contract with Square... No new Final Fantasy releases to Xbox

Lmao all I said was MS does the same shyt Sony does. Blocking games off Game Pass, blocking games off PS, its all the same shyt.

I guess warhammer and stalker 2 are just some small indie games now

Yes because Microsoft had to help them develop their games

No, not really.

Indie games usually have funding problems and they don’t have the employees/experience to launch on multiple platforms at once.

In those cases exclusive deals aren’t “blocking” games off the other console.

Of course they are. If it wasnt MS or Sony, it would be EA, Square, etc, and the game would multiplatform.

Sony and MS jump on these indies because they see value in making these games (and potentially the studio) exclusive.

Stalker devs have never even released a console game before

EA square etc don’t publish games unless they own the IP.

Exclusive deals allow indie devs to stay independent, keep their IP, and be financially stable until release date. These are the type of deals that SHOULD be happening.
