minus-squareMereo@piefed.calinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up57·4 days agoLol… It was foolish of Sony to retire from the PC market… Exclusives will not entice people to buy a PS5 in this economy.
minus-squareBreakerSwitch@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·1 day agoWhile I don’t strictly disagree, PC hardware isn’t cheap today either. Just had a desktop get damaged in a move, and I am loathe to replace any parts (really need a new mobo though, it’s TECHNICALLY working, buuuut…)
minus-squaresamus12345@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up28·4 days agoYeah, it seems like the exact wrong time to do that. Hope it bites them in the ass.
minus-squareMereo@piefed.calinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up9·4 days agoI’m sure they will go back on their decision.

minus-squaremagiccupcake@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up5arrow-down1·4 days agoI bought a ps5, and like what exclusives? Since 2020 I bought like 6 games? (At least ones that aren’t remasters) Horizon forbidden West, god of war Ragnarok, ghost of yotei, GT7, Spider-Man2, and returnal. Of these only 2 are still exclusives. Not great value for a ps5, I thought I’d be buying more single player exclusives but there just aren’t that many. Even if Sony locks down future titles to being exclusive, they are not making enough to justify a console over a pc.
