Has nothing to do with Sony=good, MS=bad. Frankly buying one of the biggest publishers who routinely publishes games on both platforms with massive amounts of success is very different from buying small developers. IG made most of its best games with Sony's backing and they were largely exclusive before being bought. ND, SP were largely exclusive before being bought. Xbox owners don't lose anything from them being bought. PS owners gain from Sony making larger investments into their projects. Bethesda on the other hand, routinely made games for both platforms. PS owners lose out on their games because they're an established multiplatform publisher. Microsoft buying Playground Games is a fantastic thing that benefits Xbox players and doesn't hurt PS players. Microsoft buying Bethesda isn't the same thing. |
I know. Which is why I provided a list with multiple purchases by Sony. A lot of them not small. A lot of them multiplatform developers, including Insomniac.
I'm just trying to figure out, in the end, after all purchases up until this point... Is it really that different?
There are a few of games that were made for Xbox from Bethesda which didn't appear on Playstation consoles either, not to mention Windows... Morrowind being the most obvious one. I was trying to steer it away from "mostly exclusive" talk rabbit hole. A multiplatform developer is a multiplatform developer.
