    Amazing. Hopefully that company moves into the 21st century and allows crossplay to all their online games, and perhaps even a step further and redecuding exclusive games and add release more PC games.

      As much as I hate to say it, I dunno that reducing exclusive is the best play right now with Microsoft locking down Bethesda and anything else they can get away with.

        Perhaps, it seems they are only doing it because Sony won’t play nice. There would have to be some sort of agreement between the two titans. Nintendo won’t play nice ever.

          I think in this dynamic, Microsoft+XBox has done by far the most damage to gaming, and so has the least amount of karma and trust. Whereas Sony had free, great online multiplayer services on even the PS2, Microsoft quickly ripped off everybody else’s consoles, relied on Halo to sell, has the worst everything, and has pushed the majority of anti-consumer practices in both gaming and the wider technology markets.

            This post implies that Sony has more trust is ridiculous. They refuse to secure their online services, leading to recurring hacks. There was whole rootkit fiasco which was crazy bad.

            They defended the ridiculous launch prices of the PS3 by saying that they think consumers should just work more hours to afford one.

            They still do shit things like hide basic features like cloud saves behind a paywall. That have no problem paying for exclusive games and exclusive content and if they had the money MS had they would do the same thing MS is doing.
