lmao, that face is hilarious
I got you, and agree with you. I just wanted to see more from Xbox, to push the competition. It would have taken something amazing to make me want to actually get one, but it would have been cool to have that feeling from when I was a teen and first xbox came out and I had my PS2, and I thought, damn, some of those games make me envious.
I was. I've owned every Playatation iteration except the pro, but with a full-time job and plenty of games coming out all the time the itch to get at a game at release is mostly gone.I think they only release these games to PC once earnings from said games plateau at a very low level. Meaning everybody who’s interested in it has bought it by now and weekly sales have dropped from say 100k a week to a few hundred.
So release them to PC (and mega PSN discounts) while theyre still fresh in gamer memory and see that earnings boost.
But like someone said, if you’re not buying a ps because, potentially, some exclusives might be released a few years down the line on PC ........
You weren’t really going to be buying one anyways, we’re you ?
It's a good question, but it might be as simple as leaving it up to the devs. Naughty Dog probably won't need to bother considering how well their games sell, and I'd think the same of Sony Santa Monica. I imagine for the rest there must be some point after which it makes sense to just go ahead and port a game because everyone who wants it and has a Playstation has already picked up a copy. And sure, it would make plenty of sense for Sony to hold onto its biggest games.
Console war is over.. Gabe has spoken.. wonder if Sony's close relationship with Epic Games steered him to say this.
The one and only thing a person needs to understand about Gabe Newell is that his own business-- gaming-- is a secondary concern to him. First and foremost he is an open-source zealot. That is the most important thing to him, and his purpose in life. It is his great cause. It is obvious he considers this the most important endeavor of his life, and perhaps of our time.
Yes, obviously Microsoft didn't do this out of the goodness of their hearts. Everything they were doing when they were the market leaders was contrary to a more open and cooperative model, and more nefariously so than Sony. I still remember when Gabe nearly lost his mind when Microsoft floated the idea of funneling all software through the Microsoft Store with the launch of Windows 10. He was bouncing off the walls in the press-- full meltdown.
And here I thought good old Gabe has been putting the finishing touches on Half Life 3 for the past 10 years....
