PS5 could see even more 3rd party exclusives than PS4

Honestly, moneyhatting 3rd party exclusives is a very scummy thing to do. I don't understand how people can celebrate that as a good thing. I guess, because it's Sony doing it,then it's ok. But it sucks for most of the players and makes me less inclined in buying a console or a game.

But buying 15 studios in a 1-2 year period, with a group of them being from a very big publisher that made multiplats is something to celebrate and not scummy at all?

Maybe it's not something to celebrate, but if they are paying for the whole studio/publisher talent, technology and opperation they can do whatever they want. Just like Nintendo paying for Bayonetta was ok, because they took the risk for themselves, so they deserve the rewards. However, coming around when the game is almost finished to pay some money with the only intent to prevent some people people from playing the game is some evil shit. I'm sorry, but it's not even comparable.

Ok, so for you to lose access for some months in a couple of games is worse than forever for several dozen, ok. Makes zero sense, but you are entitled to your opinion.

You see, I have all 3 consoles, I'll keep having them. For me, it makes no difference, I can buy a game on PS5 or XSX when they're available. The thing is, the operation behind it is scummy. Who gains from having a 3rd party developed game only available in a single platform for 6 months? Only Sony themselves and fanboys can look at that and think that's good for anyone. You're acting like those Bethesda games were promised to Playstation and Microsoft took them alway, but they were never promised to Playstation. The ones that were promised to Playstation are still coming. 3rd parties can still do exclusive games, because game development and publishing is expensive, so in some cases, it makes more sense to pick a single plataform and go with that and that's ok. What we are talking about here is Sony, just like Epic, going out of their way to prevent a game or mode in a game from coming to a specific plataform, for 6 or more months. They are not trying to make the game better, they are not helping with development, they are not taking the risks, they just want remove a choice from the consumer. What Microsoft did is bad for the industry for a whole different set of reasons, but those things are not comparable to what Sony does.

Sure they aren't comparable, they are much worse. These modes and DLCs are quite minimal compared to a full game. Same as one or 2 games a year with these shitty practices (because yes they are shitty) that still are available on other platforms (even if some months after) isn't as bad as a full publisher shut-off from the rest of the market. Even worse to go do a PR and say that they aren't taking away from other platforms. And MS buying those devs don't really make those games better.
