Games being on more platforms is better for consumers, so I’m not complaining.
Competing on interoperability is a good space for platforms to compete as opposed to “who can pay for more exclusives”. Being able to multiplayer with people on Xbox, PlayStation, PC or switch is a selling point for Xbox.I was well chuffed when the STALKER trilogy was added to the PS store. Best 30 quid I’ve ever spent.
As a lifelong fallout and elder scrolls player i lost my shit when they said they were going Xbox exclusive. Way to tell half your fan base to eat shit. And what you don’t want my money idiot?
Think of it this way, how many people got an Xbox because it wasn’t coming to PS? That was the real motivation factor.
Why sell a $60 game once, when you can sell a $600 console and a $60 game.
Way more people can afford to pay $60 over $500. I’m as big a bathesda guy as you can get but I won’t get an Xbox no matter what
