Why are you making this a thing about lumping together events? Not all of the exclusives shown in the Sony event were first revealed there, so if he's gonna count those among the '20 exclusives', how is this any different?

Hell, one of those games-- Little Devil Inside --was actually a kickstarter from 5 years ago, but somehow it ended up as a timed console exclusive for PS5? Reading recent comments from the kickstarter page, the people who successfully helped fund the game don't seem too thrilled by this. I suppose we're not gonna talk about that rather shady business practice?

To be fair, it was the same thing that happened with Scorn on Xbox Series X. Scorn was also a kickstarter game, from 2014 I believe. Scorn devs decided to make it Series X/PC only because of a few reasons. They didn't think they could hit 60 fps and native 4k on PS5, and MS agreed to market the game and give it more exposure with an announce on a large scale event, in exchange for exclusivity. 

I'll admit, I wasn't aware of this. But looking at the kickstarter page the game was only announced for PC at the time, and nothing has changed other than adding Xbox as a platform. They still plan to release at launch on PC. Little Devil Inside was backed for several other console platforms, and those are currently being locked off for an unknown amount of time.

If there is another case like Little Devil Inside though, whether Sony or Microsoft, it's certainly worth calling out.

Main point, not all the exclusives shown from the Sony event were first announced there. It was already known Godfall was meant to be a launch title last year.
