But it seems like today that attitude has changed from

"Wow! I will buy a 2nd console for sure! This game is awesome!"

to

"Fuck you, I'm not buying your game period and I'm now not even interested in your IP, I'll just play something else."

lol. Felt that kind of energy around Starfield as well. If you're not going to offer your product on the platform the player is at, they're not going to give you the time of day any more. 

Ppl these days are like: "I'll buy it if you port it to PC/PS5/Xbox/Switch.

The days of "yes I'll bow to the whims of the publisher deals and go out to buy a 2nd console/3rd console, are practically gone. PPl either have those consoles already or are locked into 1/2 systems, and with how today's gaming ecosystems work, there's little reason to go out and buy all 3 consoles and a PC, when you could just own a PC and a console.

Hell, we've even been seeing lifetime exclusivity deals dying out over the past decade, now slimming down to 1 year or 6 months, especially with SE, who used to be happy just letting an entire game or slew of them be locked to a single system for an entire gen or two. It's just not profitable to do that much these days, especially with money being left on the table that others could easily snatch up.
