the twitter statement of course.
So if Starfield is a disappointment, PlayStation fans will laugh at Jeff Grubb for confirming it is exclusive to Xbox/PC? That doesn't make any sense. PlayStation fans aren't that stupid.
No, most aren't that stupid you're right.
It was good enough for Sony to back up the trucks of money to try and make it a timed exclusive. Microsoft just out did them.
Those people are making alot of insinuations there. He is just stating that the game is exclusive.
We can disagree but IMO one of these is worse than the other for the industry and I have a feeling it is not the one you would choose. Sony's moneyhatting only goes so far and is typically time-gated. The other removes the traditional third-party titles from other platforms permanently. But hey, let's celebrate that some of those other folks will not get to enjoy those games. Suck it Team Blue. I mean, that is what gaming is all about, right?
I dunno about that, but hopefully it's good.
Do we know this to be the case? It very well could be, I just mean, do we know for a fact that it wasn’t Sony that decided to pull out before MS came into the picture?
Oh Lord Baby Jesus, please save this poor soul that thinks only Sony does this and not MS.
I think enough people reported it and Sony already took Tokyo wire and Deathloop. They will money hat any good game right now.
Microsoft stopped money hats on AAA games long ago. They for years they had no money from corperate. When they did they wisely put it into studios instead of short term fixes like money hats. The exclusives they have are indy games that cost very little and they get gamepass deals with.
And you think he is the moron?
Just look at how you are acting here. You look pretty offended based on just this post alone. Calm down. I think you take this console warrior thing a little too seriously.
Stalker 2 iand war hammer are indy games neither are big studios under 100 last I heard.. We have no idea on the scope of cross fire x single player yet. We are not talking project Athena or zenimax level money level yet lol.
Lmao the ironi!!
Havent you heard? Microsoft is the industry leader and sony is doomed.
Of course this is a common industry practice, I never stated otherwise. However, for the past 2+ years it's been most Sony that has geared aggressively towards paying for exclusive content and timed exclusivity of 3rd party games. Microsoft has been busy marketing GamePass in the same time period and buying game studios from around the world.
My personal timeline for every big exclusive game made by third parties (on either console) or by Bethesda will be 13 months. Bethesda may be altogether removed from my list of questionable exclusive status claims much sooner than 13 months from now, but it will take a clear and unequivocal statement by MS before that happens, with no room for interpretation. I think by the end of E3 we will have a pretty good idea.
Forgot about that one! I love Vermintide 2.
Who cares game will prob be a buggy mess. Its Bethesda after all

So I have a question for you, and I'm not being sarcastic.
For the new generation, Microsoft made big changes to their game development kits. The new GDK, called Game Core, is a unified environment for creating games on PC, Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One, and xCloud. The goal is to make it easier and more efficient to create games for all Game Pass platforms. They want to pump out content for Game Pass, and developing for PS5 would be a distraction. Except for rare exceptions, the only way Bethesda games will be on PS5 is through xCloud. It would make more sense for Microsoft to bring the free to play Halo Infinite multiplayer to PS5 than to bring Starfield or Elder Scrolls to PS5.
It's really strange to me when people frame Xbox games being on multiple devices as a negative. To me, it's a great benefit. Being able to play the same game in my office on PC, in my living room on Xbox, and on the go via xCloud, and have all the progress carry over, is awesome. I own a PS4 and plan to get a PS5 too. I wish PlayStation had similar flexibility.
And in what universe is that better? How are they financing it from beginning to end when when we know that Starfield had absolutely nothing to do with MS for over 4 years and Sony was already involved for a PS version? Same for Doom, Elder Scrolls, Fallout. They had nothing to do with any of these multiplatform IPs.

Sugar?This thread is a hoot.
So much
Timed is worse. Timed is always worse. When a game is permanently exclusive, that's how it is. This is the platform I'll be playing it on. End of discussion. When it's timed to some platform, I might have to wait a year to play it on my preferred platform, and that kinda pisses me off a little. I own all consoles, so I'm not locked out, but I have preferred controllers and such, and I like to be the one making the choice of where to play, not having it forced down my throat by some bigwigs who just signed a check to rob me of that choice.
Microsoft really need a sensational E3, this can't be stated enough. Obviously Sony will have their own event around the same time but you know they will bring the goods. Obviously all eyes will be on Halo, I think it will impress. They need some surprises and give us some glimpses of titles beyond 2021, 2022.
It's not twisting anything. I game on all platforms, I have preferences, and timed exclusives are annoying.
