Yes I know the gaming industry is excessively terrible. And it's because Sony is stupid. Their reasoning for blocking off Shadow Tower Abyss even when it was entirely ready to be released outside of Japan basically boiled down to it was unique and interesting, so it can't be marketed, boo. Like there'd even be harm in just letting it release, like they have some actual coherent standard when a cursory look at the shit they allow to release on their consoles shows they do not. Darmik posted... If only it were that simple for developers. If money can come from anywhere I'm sure From Software could have gone with a company like EA or Activision to fund their game right? Or maybe Kickstarter? If that was the case why aren't you blaming From Software? Or maybe the reason Bloodborne exists is because Sony saw value in the Souls franchise and wanted their own exclusive IP version of it? I don't see why a third party publisher would bother with that. Dude you do realise there are more Souls games by From that are not Sony exclusive than there are ones that are right? Sony gets 0 credit. They did NOTHING but throw money around to hold a Souls style game hostage. Bloodborne exists because From made it. It exists as a console exclusive because Sony threw money around after previously rejecting these games. If Sony had their way, Bloodborne WOULDN'T have existed. You have it entirely backwards. Darmik posted... It's not holding a title hostage because the entire reason the game exists at all is to be an exclusive title. It is literally holding a title hostage. It's forcing fans of specific games to HAVE to buy their console or not get to play games in the series anymore. That is what console exclusivity is. There's no reason to spend money to get exclusives except to coerce fans of existing games/game series to have to play on their console to continue enjoying those games. Giving Sony credit for Bloodborne when all they did was that is entirely fucked up beyond comprehension. They're completely 100% harmful to these games, their entire existence and presence in the process is harmful. These things have been successful in spite of Sony's meddling, not because of it. They will receive 0 credit, Sony can go fuck itself. --- I am snazzier, hot, hot rant. Warily slight as. Croak rush, OK? Weirder, almighty make out. ::) <cite>Tmk posted [p:895124692] in Xbone 2018...
