As a consumer why would a show a corporation any loyalty? I buy what appeals to me but the moment it doesn't I'm gone. My loyalty is to myself and my own personal taste not some company.
Some of you cats are red state republicans arguing against stuff that benefits you as a consumer. Why wouldn't I want Sony to make a copy of Game Pass 1 for 1 exactly? Because they don't see it as profitable? I don't care let them figure out how to make it profitable.
The same way I don't sit back and wonder how Spotify will stay in business and what they're paying the artist, The same way I don't wonder why Netflix doesn't put it's movies out in theaters first on a release window then stream them later is the same way I look at these gaming subscription services. I've been subscribed to Netflix for over 10 years. They make stuff I like and I keep the sub. I don't cancel and resub either.
When a new album comes out I don't have to wonder if I can stream it on Spotify or not be able to stream it shyt's there day one and all the legacy content is there and what isn't I don't really listen to. I couldn't imagine Spotify telling me I gotta wait X days to stream the new Nas album after release. Who wants a service like that as a consumer? Who defends that? I'm interested in paying the fee for a frictionless service. That's what Game Pass is. If Microsoft made it it's either there already or will be there day 1.
The Sony and Nintendo approach to this is half baked. Either go all in or stay out of it. No half measures..
I got loyalty to the platform making games i like, i really don’t give a shyt about these services or whatever else yall go crazy over. If sony stops making compelling games that i like i stop buying them, its really as simple as that. I buy consoles to play games that IIIIII like, which is why i got a nintendo, steam, and a playstation.
If the gamepass format doesn’t work for sony, (they don’t have unlimited money like microsoft) then it doesn’t work. Thats a false pretense to use, and no one uses it against nintendo for obvious reasons.
If sony putting games day 1 on gamepass means they need to cutback on budgets or add a ton of MTX to their games i simply don’t want it. If in some alternate reality where sony doesn’t care to lose any money or becomes a two trillion dollar company that can give away their games cool, I’m not against it but its not realistic.
The day it does become a thing for sony the games will change with it which means I’m prob cool on gaming from that point on
I’ll never understand why yall think nintendo and sony who are making actual profits selling their games should copy the platform losing money
