vivster said: God. All these PS4 owners make themselves look pretty silly. They're making this a bigger deal than it is. They're basically playing into the hands of the Xbox fanboys. Sure it's absolute bull what the PR released but it's the usual PR bull we're seeing everywhere. No need to rant. Just sigh, roll your eyes and move along. |
As someone mentioned above, Joe has been an Xbox/PC only guy (never bought a PS3) up until this generation, where he bought both PS4 and XB1. So you can be sure that his rant is not coming from a "one console owner" perspective. He's mainly angry about the flat out lies they wrote in the letter to the fans, such as things like "reaching out to a wider audience" even though effectively they cut their userbase to a small portion of the one that supported them from the start.

There is no use and no reason to rant about PR speak. It has existed since the beginning of time and it will not go away. Honesty will not win you fans.
Do you think the reception of the deal would've been better if they said: "thanks to the money we received from MS we don't have to develop for another console!"?
No. Companies always lie. They have to because everyone else does it too. If they don't, the fall behind the liars.
