Do you even know how many xbox 360 players actually jumped to ps4 last gen because Microsoft fucked the drm and all that shit up?
Crossing fingers for the news going easy on you when you find out like the rest of the world these games will be exclusive.
No one buys a 70 bn company to release multi platforms.
By that feeling of entitlement, then you would provscly demand the games to be fully f2p on your console as well because Microsoft should never get a dime from you.
While I'm straying off point a bit, your post highlights something that I haven'tseen mentioned.
While there were plenty of 360 users that jumped to PS4 as you pointed out. I'm not so ready to believe that many of them will so easily jump back.
The Xbox One's DRM was only one of several problems Microsoft had with it's console back then. It was less powerful on the gpu side, but cost more. There was the DRM, but just as many people complained about fear that the kinect was spying on you. Ridiculousfanboys aside, fans of Sony products are cut from a different type of cloth. No other fanbase goes to such lengths or puts so much effort into marketing their preferred company.
Today many of the roles are reversed when it comes to the new consoles. However, there's nowhere close to the same level of criticism. Of course there's no Xbox exec scurrying to make a commercial comparing Xbox's buy once, play anywhere advantage, or it's games price advantage, but still... it wouldn'tmatter if they had. Whether the fears about the kinect spying on you were justified or not. The fact that apparently only the crickets appear to be concerned about Sony having a mic in it's controller listening to everything you say says a lot.
There's a whole plethora of casual gamers that largely don't pay attention to details the way the people that regularly post at GAF do. Many of them were swayed to go with the PS4 last gen largely due to the hyperbole making the rounds everywhere by fans stoking the fires and handing out pitchforks. There's no call to arms this time around, no fears being played up, and little hyperbole being spread around the way it was before.
So there's quite a bit of truth in your comment regarding crossed fingers about news, and entitlement. Similar behavior just kind of comes with the territory when you're a fan of certain products it seems, and Sony's certainly not alone when it comes to this either. Apple has long been renowned for the same thing, as well Harley Davidson, John Deere, Snap On, as well as many others.
Just to be clear. There's a clear difference between the trolling and fud spreading fanboy types vs what I'm talking about here. Fortunately, the console warring type of Sony/Xbox fanboys that persists in gaming is largely absent elsewhere. Just wanting to clarify that as I don't want anyone taking me the wrong way.
