They said they believe in generations and have games (at launch as well) that are exclusive to PS5. Sure they could've been clearer but we do have exclusive next gen experiences day 1 like promised.

Spiderman is backwards compatible so you do not need to buy Spiderman again, according to them a lot of work went into the remaster which is why they are charging for it. We'll see if it's worth it, I doubt it is but we won't know until it comes out.

Day 1 exclusives to PS now is never something you would've expected from them, and to say it's anti consumer to not do so is really weird. Microsoft can afford to lose money on Gamepass basically forever until it spreads enough and they slowly price up the subscription enough for it to make money. Sony can't, why would they leave a tried and true business model to then lose money every year on a service they clearly don't need to have?

Pot and kettle on that spiderman exclusive deal. 

MS also has next gen exclusive games at launch that isnt on XBOne. Only thing is MS was clear from the get go, Sony just tried to hide the fact and let MS take the shit for it.

All of Xbox One games are backward compat too. Only difference here is if one of them XBOne games have a nextgen version MS wont charge you again for that version unlike Sony. I mean im sure work went into them remastered games on XBS S/X too right?.

Even without Day 1 releases, my main problem with PSNow is how Sony removes their own games from the platform (Mostly their popular ones) such as Spider Man that was put on the service after like a year and only for like a month just to force their customers to then go buy the game. Also the is no reason why sony cant do Day 1 on PSNow and they will at some point to compete wth MS anyways.. And then they will have egg on their face for trying to nickle and dime their customers when "It suddenly is ok to have games Day 1 on PSNow"

You sound like the wife that keeps getting beat but needs to make up excuses for why its ok.

Ah yes, the PC Gamer that benefits massively from the great deal that is game pass is the beaten wife.

Sony could've and should've been more clear with their message.

As I said, we don't know what they have done for spiderman remaster, and I didn't say Xbox wasn't BC. A next gen version isn't the same as a remaster. Unless you're going to target anyone that has sold a remaster of a game including MS. 

I hope they do put their exclusives on PS Now Day 1. But I understand they cannot afford to do that, and their business functions better with the model they've always used. Will it work out in the long run? I don't know.
