Hey I’m just one little old opinion. I just feel Sony is too aggressive with moneyhats and MS doesn’t owe them any favours keeping certain games multiplat. They too nice.

Keep in mind I said by comparison. Minecraft, Wasteland 3, Outer Worlds, Psychonauts 2, Minecraft Dungeons, Ghostwire Tokyo, Deathloop....I can’t remember the last time Sony gave Xbox a 1st party game. 

(To anybody eager to slam the quote button I’m aware there are deals in place. But if MS were more aggressive I say break them all, pay any fees necessary, and give your community some games they can call their own)

I mean, do you even read what you write?

Sony are dirty? Microsoft are nice?

They stand to gain more then they lose by keeping those games multiplatform- It's all about the money. 

Obviously- they don't buy big third party studios.

There is no 'nice'. These decisions are weighed on the basis of return and profit. 

If you need me to clarify “nice” I mean honouring the multiplat contracts. How it affects the end users, us. If they were to say treat 1st party games like Nintendo and Sony do, which I sincerely do not like that MS doesn’t, then they would proceed to nullify said contracts and swiftly cancel the PS versions of all games concerned. That’s what I meant by “nice”. Because they aren’t playing by the cutthroat traditions regarding 1st party games where they are only regulated to the owners console and nowhere else. And yes, I stand by the dirty comment, as Sony’s moneyhatts have been getting more egregious the last few years. 

Of course you make more money making games more available, that goes without saying. The point I’m saying is that MS is the only one really sharing of the big 3.
