Sounds like he's making a pitch to consumers abou the benefits of purchasing games on Xbox where they only have to buy it once and can play it cross platform. This has been a complaint for years from folks who buy a game like 2K, fifa, Destiny, Cod, etc and want to play with friends on another system. Folks also want content/progress to carryover cross platform to avoid the grind.

It's an issue that's somewhat been alleviated by crossplay, but it's a legit consumer issue.

Sony stans :mjlol:

those are multiplatform titles, he's specifically talking about playstation's 1st party here as they're literally the only "platform" who's releasing pc ports after the fact.

Dude states a literal fact and Sony stans in here mad about it like he said something offensive :mjlol:
What’s the literal fact again? Is there some sort of law that states Sony should release their games on pc and console day one? What about Nintendo? Why isn’t anyone on their neck for not releasing their games on pc at all?

because despite saying otherwise, playstation remains xbox's "competition" in their eyes.

so why did he buy a multiplatform 3rd party publisher to take games off nintendo and playstation? :jbhmm:
Studios were purchased to secure content for Gamepass which is available on a multitude of different platforms.

You don’t even need gaming hardware to play them. Pretty much anyone on earth can access the games without a specific hardware purchase.

Sony is the only one spending money to keep games off other games platforms:ufdup:

It's a simple analogy to being abused or taken advantage of and thinking it's ok or perfectly normal.
Son. No one is being taken advantage of. Da fukk? Lol. No one is FORCING anyone to purchase the game on another platform or double dip. It ain’t like the shyt got some exclusive content.

Do you want Bethesda owned by the likes of Google or Amazon? :scust:

PlayStation and Nintendo fans can still play future Bethesda titles, they already have a phone; PC, and or streaming device(FireTV, Droid box, etc). :obama:

We don't force you to pay $400 plus for a plastic box just to play our games :blessed:
