Because he doesn’t bother to explain what exactly was “woke” about either of the games.  It was an outright accusation with zero proof that they even understand what woke even means.  This is a telltale MAGA sign.

Soon as you used “woke” you’ve outed yourself as a MAGA moron. Congrats.

I have not gotten into this generation of gaming but it’s a debate in the household whether to get a Series X or a PS5 this Christmas. PS5 has some great exclusives but I know day to day the kids will play the Series X more because of Game Pass and Minecraft. 

100%. I fire up my PS5 a couple times a year for these big exclusives. everything else is gamepass. If PSN offered some sort of incentive for first party AAA games I might be more interested.

I’m going to buy it and I’m going to love it, but it’s also the kind of game that makes me look across my TV to the other side where my Xbox sits and makes me grateful for Game Pass, which is the perfect place for a game like this, that I’m going to play for 15 hours, beat, and then never touch again. At least that’s…

As usual you don’t understand things. You specifically ignored what I wrote because you don’t like to think. I’ll repeat: Nintendo is the leader in console share, software sales, and profit.

Wrong. Nintendo is the market leader in console share, software sales, and profit.

Or you could go with the details revealed in all the activision hearings where it was spelled out that sony was paying to keep final fantasy games off xbox.

MS didn’t invent paid exclusivity, come on now. Paid exclusivity has been an industry practice since the 90's. Sony paid for timed PS2 exclusivity of GTA3 after MS rejected the offer (probably the second biggest mistake they’ve ever made). Don’t get me wrong, MS absolutely paid for a shit ton of exclusivity,…

Again, you’ll need to explain why Game Pass will inevitably result in reduced quality.

You’ll have to elaborate on that. Game Pass doesn’t inherently incentivize shitty games. MS wants good games on Game Pass because good games are what drive user acquisition and retention.

sorry, civil liberties are being stolen by fascists every day, can’t give too much of a shit about which megacorp makes the vidja games

Bungie is owned by Sony which invalidates both of your points.

It’s late stage capitalism for sure. But honestly, with our political climate as it is, the last thing I care about is shit like this. Sony is throwing a hissy fit over a more extreme behavior of the trend they have consistently bought into for over a decade now.

Except they are’t timed. Square has been quite open about the fact that FF16 and the ff7 remake will NEVER come to xbox. So your argument is invalid.

Sony’s just pissed there’s competition in the “pay for exclusivity” market. They hoard content for themselves and then complain when others try to do the same. “What’s mine is mine and what’s yours is mine!”

The argument from Microsoft refers to “advanced” consoles in an effort to dismiss the Nintendo Switch and focus on Sony.

I don’t get why so many gamers are caught up in the false hype that is graphical fidelity...

If that is truly a thing that’s important to you, you’re even sadder than I initially thought.

But how could it be the best end-credits scene if it didn’t set up the next “Multiverse Wars” chapter?  /s
