Pointing fingers knows know bounds. Some dude made a thread calling basically all sony fans hypocrites, despite only a couple examples from individuals.
Then Kynes basically saying "still too expensive" on the vita price drop thread.
A thread saying "do you think 8gb of gddr5 is too much", with a bunch of trolling in it regarding pricing and imaginary bottlenecks.
Trolling in the youtube thread.
Hell, my thread and jay's have put everyone on their toes. Go back a day before and look at Sony threads. Sorry, just because a dozen or so sony guys talk smack, doesn't mean we don't see the same.
Not to sound aggressive or anything, I know it's just your opinion, but it's a real aggravation to see this happening, and then see people not able to recognize it. Again, not your fault.

Developers are more important to me than Sony/MSFT/Nintendo. 

Seems you forget Sony/MSFT/Nintendo are developers themselves, their respective fans should care about them as well.

lmao no they are not.  Sony and Microsoft are publishers, not developers.  Nintendo is both a developer and publisher.  

Do you really need to laugh at it?

Is there a distinction between owning first parties and being the company that gets the games out? I see it pretty much the same way. Especially when Sony/Microsoft first parties could have the same fate or worse if those companies go out of the gaming business which is what concerns me.


I wouldnt laugh if it wasnt funny. It was though.  At least know a little bit about what you say before commenting.

Yes there is a big difference.  Publishers publish and fund the games.  Developers make the games.  Hypothetically if Sony went out of business what would happen would be that companies like Naughty Dog and Guerilla games would likely get picked up by a comppany like EA, Activision, Ubisoft, etc.  They would still have the same talent as they had before.  Publishers are all different though and might have different standards whether it be timelines or maybe even push for a sequel or a new ip.  But i will state one more time.  Microsoft/Sony is not developers and do not make the games. 

I don't think there is actually a difference. You make it seem as if in case Sony/Microsoft goes out of business, their first parties go free immidiately and so would do their IPs. It will come down to what Sony/Microsoft do with said companies and especially their IPs, which are fans' interests. That was my argument. Fans of Sony/Microsoft/Nintendo care for those first party IPs, and the uncertainty of what happens to those games and companies is no different between any of them if they go out of business.  It will depend in what they would choose to do with the companies and the IPs if they go out of business and you can't be certain of what their actions could be, which is my point: we care for Sony/Microsoft/Nintedo as well because they have those IPs under their belt. You don't know if they would hold unto those games for a future comback and let them frozen in time.

I guess I could say that yes, maybe Sony is not a developer perse, but putting some thought to it, there is not much difference between seeing an separate office where Nintendo techinicians are developing a game and an outside building where Sony's first parties are developing a game Sony owns. They are both divisions between each companies and subject to their companies will and fate.



Nintendo is selling their IPs to Microsoft and this is true because:
