Tell me then, what happens if I am playing Starfield for example on my phone, and then my phone loses connection to the cloud servers for whatever reason? Whoops, there goes my session, hope I didn't lose any progress. Quite a difference from playing on my PS5 console, where if I lose internet connection, no problem, just keep playing the single player game that I was enjoying.

Recently at that scale? Since 8th gen started? They definitely haven't.

I’d say phone a friend, but it sounds like you have no cellular connection. Maybe you could use Maps to locate… wait Nevermind.
Tuck into a ball and scream as loud as you can until help arrives. Rock back and forth a little to soothe yourself in between screams.

As I said before, you can get GP deals much cheaper. Also, even for people paying full price at $200, so do lots of people who sub to NF at $200/yr too.
As for the "loophole", it's no loophole. It's been promoted since 2019 and it's not going anywhere. They just revised it so instead of getting 3 years of GPU on a gold upgrade, you now get two years. They arent going to suddenly axe the entire deal.
I get it that you're trying to make GP look bad, but this thread is really about COD and PS, not GP.

Cool! How about letting Sony and Nintendo have access to Infinite Undiscovery, Blue Dragon, Fable trilogy? Then sony and nintendo can give you some stuff as well from that era. That would be really nice, even though it wont happen.

I think that’ll happen the moment the marketing deal with Sony expires next year. It will sell GPU subs, for sure.

Crazy to think that for every copy of COD and MTX purchase, MS will make 70% of the cut from PS purchases. MS will make more money off COD content off PS than Sony themselves.

Why would Sony going to lose consumers, specially if CoD continues on PS?
Sony continues being over 2:1 in most metrics regarding console and game subs over MS and Sony's games continue being super successful and Sony is growing not only in consoles but in many other areas too (MP, GaaS, PC, mobile, movies/tv shows, eSports, accesories, even theme partk rides...).
I think Sony will continue with the current strategy they already have.

If you only have a PS5 do you
A) keep buying COD on your existing console for 89.99 CAD once a year
B) spend $600cad + tax + $18.99 cad + tax per month for gamepass
Realistically if people are going to switch, they will do it for next gen. 5 more years of full priced COD is less than a series X will cost you.

What if your power cuts out while you're playing? Poof. Lights out. Quite a difference from playing on my Switch console, where if I lose power, no problem, just keep playing in handheld mode the game I was enjoying.

MLB 'forces' Sony's San Diego Studio to release MLB: The Show 2021 on Xbox
Microsoft responds by immediately slating it as a Game Pass freebie
There is really nothing that Sony can do about the situation. While Sony-owned San Diego Studio is the developer, the Major League Baseball Association still owns the MLB license. The association decided to extend that license to other platforms. It could have dissented and lost the license altogether, but Sony agreed with taking the game in this direction.Source

Most of the people playing right now are doing so on an X|S or maybe XB1. There are thousands playing at the moment.

Or is it just one of Phil's balls in my throat?
There's over 120K people playing Blops 1 and 80K people playing MW3.
Incredible numbers for 13~ year old games.

They actually could. Dont make MLB games so Xbox and Switch dont get copies either. But in their best interest, it's better to make games for all platforms.

Holy shit. I still have copies of World at War, BO1 and BO2. I'll be back playing this week. I just hope modders arent rampant.

Pointless 10 year deal, it was allways coming to PlayStation, too much money to lose not releasing on PlayStation. The point is how many cod players are going switch to Xbox, once ms starts increasing the price of cod outside of gamepass.

Last week we had Xbox is doomed threads, Xbox will go 3rd party. Are we going to switch it up this week and have a bunch of stupid Sony is doomed threads?

How long? Is this for 10 years? It’s not forever is it?

or just...switch to another game like Apex, this obsession with COD needs to end, its had one good game over almost a decade (MW2, maybe MW) and hasn't been good since COD 2

Wasn’t this a case of MLB forcing them, there’s no way I could see Sony going multi platform with this game otherwise.

Thats what the consensus has been from the beginning. Make MLB multiplat or lose access to the license. Sony decided to do it and support all console platforms.

Yeah I mean I dont play cod more than a few hours a year, I was just illustrating that it doesnt make sense switching even if its "free" on a sub and its all you play.
But I agree with your point as well. The glory days of COD for me are long gone.
I think folks are jumping the gun on all "other" Activision games being exclusive. The CoD deal is just a regulatory guarantee MS had to make. Other Activision games will come to Playstation, but they (Microsoft) wants to dictate what those games are as apposed to being required to spend resources to developing games for other platforms.

Youre the minority Bo.
The vast majority of the 10M COD gamers on PS would rather keep playing than abandon ship to spite a deal made between two giant corporations with branded game boxes. A lot of casual gamers dont even know or cares what happens in MS/Activision deal. All they care about is having fun playing COD, which will be on PS systems for 10 more years.
And Jim Ryan and gang agree. So they signed the deal.

I guess it depends on the cut Sony gets from each sale I suppose. My guess is that it’s better than the 30% currently used
Would be an interesting case study. I think the deal will entrench CoD's dominance and make it more difficult for Sony or anyone else to develop a true competitor. Continuing the game on Playstation for 10 years as apposed to a shorter period of time just slows down the urgency for Sony to develop a competitor.

The only thing we know is that it's a 10 year agreement, and that it's only for CoD and no other Activision game.
Nothing on the specifics of platform/services.

Sony's GAAS are already stated coming to PC. We just dont know the details what the games are and the timing. It's assumed GAAS will day one on PC to maximize user count and building momentum, but technically they dont have to do day one PS and PC. They could stagger the PC version to come later if they wanted to.

So basically Sony is ultimately going to take an L on this as while they are getting COD for 10yrs that is all they are getting vs previously MS had been offering up all Activision content to them through 2027. I fully expect the rumored Blizzard survival game will now go exclusive to Xbox / PC.

An opinion piece? Who wrote that, you riky and darkmage?
The only quote in the article is :
"As part of the goal for this year's game, MLB decided to bring the franchise to more players and baseball fans," a PlayStation spokesperson told Inverse. "This decision provides a unique opportunity to further establish MLB The Show as the premier brand for baseball video games."
The rest is opinion. There was no PlayStation exclusivity because RBI baseball was on xbox and Switch. Xbox could have made an MLB game anytime they wanted. But, when you have to spend 80 billion dollars to have" first party" that's not an option because you don't have the talent in your studios.

MS only offered franchises that are already on PS. That would not have applied to any new IP including the Blizzard survival game.

Nice jab at MS that had nothing to do with the baseball talk.
Besides, why have any internal studio make a baseball game when the competitor will make it for them?

The people saying they don’t play CoD, wouldn’t you have rather had 3 more years of the rest of the upcoming games from the Activision/Blizzard teams? Or do you only care about Sony getting more money for 7 additional years from only CoD, a series you don’t play.
Just seems funny that so many here say they don’t play CoD, but care so much that Sony gets to keep it. It just seems like you are rooting for a corporation to make money, a corporation that doesn’t care about you.
