Phil Spencer Criticizes Sony For Forcing Customers to Double Dip On Late PC Ports

Nice guy Phil, Over?

Head of Xbox Phil Spencer has quietly criticised other developers that port their games to PC after initial release, and charge full price for the new versions. Spencer didn't say he was talking about PlayStation... but he was talking about PlayStation.

Spencer explained Xbox is currently, "the only platform shipping games on console, PC and cloud simultaneously." He then compared that to other companies. “Others bring console games to PC years later, not only making people buy their hardware up front, but then charging them a second time to play on PC. And of course, all of our games are in our subscription service day one, full cross-platform included.”

Sony only recently began creating PC ports for its first-party PlayStation exclusives, but it's recently committed to the idea. PlayStation Studios boss Hermen Hulst recently said there was clear appetite for the PC ports, but that "PlayStation will remain the best place to play our PlayStation Studios titles at launch."

It’s Sonys product. They can release it at any time and on any device they damn well want. If you want to play their games on day one, get a PS5 console. If not then you’re going to have to wait years before you play it.

Yeah, i think its easy for him to talk like this knowing xbox games don’t really carry a lot of clout for their platform. It’s easy to release a game on a bunch of different platforms when..

1. You own the other platform, also (windows)
2. Your gaming IP aren’t that valuable
