This whole thing is so bizarre to me. People have complained endlessly over the years about game console exclusivity. I personally think it's bad for the consumer.
And now that MS is talking about putting their experiences on other platforms, people are upset with them? That they've somehow lost their way, that the brand is dying?
Seriously, have I lost my mind? What's going on?
We're upset because we would have just bought a PS5 if they were going to do this. Otherwise, I'm happy for the PS folks.
Personally, I prefer the Xbox platform over PlayStation's. I've been on it so long that I'd hate to lose all my purchases and progress on everything.
I do too, but if you could go back a year or 2 and buy a PS5 knowing this would happen, wouldn't you?
Not really. Don't get me wrong, I'm jealous of the PS exclusives, but I've gotten more value out of Game Pass than I would have out of a PlayStation over those years.
Now if Game Pass ends up on PlayStation by some miracle, I'll be jumping ship.
