You read the title, didn't read the article, then read my comment and are confused? I suggest you read the article.

A) it usually helps to quote what part you're referencing regardless if people have read the article or not.
B) your comment makes no sense on its own anyway.
Read the article.
I'm with the other dude. Your comment makes no sense, even after reading the article. You have spat out words without context as to what you're responding to, and without enough detail to infer it on our own. 🤷🏼♂️
Bro read the article bro I'm lazy bro the secret is there if you read the article bro trust me bro
I think they're trying to say that they're a PlayStation fanboy and one of those "gamers" that thinks exclusivity is a good thing/doesn't want the "Xbox/PC trash" playing "their" PlayStation games.
Which, in my opinion, get fucked with that one.
Literally the subtitle.
How do you think they're going to get people to move from PC to PS?

Is that weird little link you keep signing off with supposed to mean something significant?
You know the people that copy-paste things into kickstarter to try to get a refund, or those old copy/past things people would put on their facebook walls about the ownership of their pictures or whatever?
That link is the Lemmy version of that.
Someone should repost his comments without attribution, remix them without indicating as such, and/or use them for commercial purposes. Then we wait and see if he tries to enforce the license.
I figured. Not sure what that link is supposed to stop, but go ahead.
They're not trying to do that? They're trying to make sure their games reach a wider audience. At this point consoles don't care about having you locked into their ecosystem, they've realized gamers gonna game regardless of platform, and most prefer PC.
So they're going to (hopefully) try to make sure they have their "exclusives" released on more consoles. You know, "crack open that funnel" and all.
It's a dumb point because there is no console that beats having a PC.
Are you seriously suggesting a handful of 40 hour single player experiences is worth sacrificing: full backwards compatability, emulation of all old consoles and games, Mods, games that can't be adapted to the limitations of consoles (grand strategy, certain MMO's), cheaper sales and key sites, as well as inevitably having access to the exclusives from all platforms
The only path for console developers to win over customers is through cheap hardware, which doesn't win over any PC users who have better rigs.
Your point is bad at making any real point. You basically just spoke around the topic then blamed everybody else for not understanding lmao.
Wow, reading comprehension is so low. I'm impressed.

Agreed. You can't read very well. It's probably the reason your writing is so bad and you are struggling to communicate with people.
Yes, I write "bad". You write so "good". Much wow. Very impress
You missed a period and your signature.
Or just don't be a dick
Yeah, he shouldn't have been a dick. I agree
Okay I've read the article. Your comment still makes no sense, whatsoever.
Are you saying you want to keep console exclusivity a thing, by making options available to both PC and PS users locked only to PS? Because that doesn't make sense, nor will it literally ever happen.
