I’m sorry, but there is some serious salt flowing here. Jesus people.

@Ravix I get that. 2023 seems like it’ll be a good year for them. Fingers crossed lol. It hasn’t been great for 1st party. Most of the game stay on there for nearly a year, a few even renew for second term and continue on. I still buy games. My favorite thing is finding a game I wouldn’t have noticed, or tried. Any game on the service also gets an automatic 20% discount, literally the day it’s added. So for me it’s true, I do actually buy more games. It’s growing my backlog for this upcoming winter too, so that’ll keep me busy.

I agree again, besides the main three franchises, there hasn’t been much 1st party to draw me in.

I’m going to snag a PS5 soonish, and want to try the new Plus out. Funny enough my favorite thing about OG PSNow was getting to rent the games. You could rent them for different time periods, as short as four hours. My Vita collection just collects dust, sits in a box, and doesn’t do anything for me. So collecting and owning isn’t really for me.

I’d definitely keep your eye out on that website at least, worth scrolling through here and there. Peace.

@IronHammersFC try planetside 2 out. Game is insane. Three teams fighting all at once. 660 vs 660 vs 660. Greatest combat game of all time. Sad Sony sold them off years ago.

@Ravix hey there.

Here’s a full list of all games available on the service. Updated as of this week, directly from Xbox.

@IonMagi if it doesn’t go through, what’s to stop Activision from NEVER signing a new deal with PS. They could honestly do all they want to ***** on Sony. Sign a 10 year exclusive content deal with MS if they wanted.

@Sequel societal destruction? Really?

@Shstrick idk man. I don’t believe a dev cares much about WHERE their game sells, as long as it sells or makes money. If they strike a deal with a Xbox, and are happy with the contract and payment, and still make sales elsewhere… who cares.

It’ll go through. Any concerns the UK Gov have, will be settled by MSFT. It’ll take them a little bit longer, but it’s still going to go through.

@Mostik idk. Why is it that they raise the prices on PS5 only. I don’t see them doing to the other decides that Sony produce and sell? Just wierd.

@__jamiie I know subs aren’t a popular thing with many. But I like this. I don’t want to stick with just one box, but I have a full time job and a house. Im busy. I get to game MAYBE, 3 to 4 hours a week.

Being able avoid $1,000 bucks plus, just to enjoy games is nice. I’d rather spend it elsewhere. So for me being able to just sub here and there is awesome, and worth it. If I toss down 10 bucks a month and get, say, 20 hours of enjoyment out of it, the. It’s worth it. I don’t want to OWN every damn thing out there. I have a small physical collection, and I don’t see a point in adding more. I don’t want to pay 50+ bucks, for something I might touch twice.

So yeah man, anything that makes it easy for ME? I’m all for.

@ChrisDeku I don’t see that happening.

Idk man, just seems like you’re rambling over nothing.

Competition is good, but block fees to me sound real low. If you weren’t concerned with Xbox’s business, why go to those lengths.

@GigaGaia also… nobody held a gun to Sonys head, telling them to bill for online access. Sub service? Who started it first? I’m not console warring, just shocked at how bad a take that was.

They invented DLC? They invented Season Passes?

@GigaGaia much better? Where the only console choice is PS, Nintendo… and maybe Ouya lol? Come on dude, Xbox has done a lot of amazing things, don’t be like this bud.

DOOOOM!!!!! And Gloom!!!

@ORO_ERICIUS idk if they care homie.

@Don_Corleone VG charts, shows that both the PS3 and the 360 sold beck and neck. Each ending up around 80 million units. The Xbox One Gen was bad, but it wasn’t before, and it may not be this time around. Besides a ***** ton of games make bank without being on both consoles, or even any consoles.

Wow. Some pretentious commenters.

@Northern_munkey dude, most big PS Exclusives are slowly coming to PC. Even if it’s years later, they’re being updated to be 4K monsters. So even if a person waits years, the version on PC will typically be better than what launched on the PS5 or PS4…

@mucc no they haven’t. Also you can earn Microsoft just by playing games and doing the bing quizzes. Honestly Bing is not bad, it’s waaaay less advertising than Google. Anywho. By using it and doing the Gamepass quests you can continue to earn points, and can redeem for sore credit. I haven’t paid for Gamepass in nearly 2 years.

@talocaca remember, that conversion is a one time per person thing. And they are closing it off soon from some reports.

@Abrothers587 Two things. First if Xbox has “no exclusives” because they all come to PC… doesn’t that make all PS Exclusives “Timed Exclusives”? Really… even if it’s a couple of yours, that’s still a countdown. That means their all Timed.

Second, with PSNow having 800+ games, and most of those being old, then PSNOW would actually have a larger ratio old “old ass” games “no one likes”.

Bonus. If PSNOW is a killer, why has it taken it 6 years, and having its price cut in HALF just for it to finally come close to 4 million subs. When Gamepass is resting at over 23 million in less than four years.

You can prefer one to the other, but no dude Gamepass really is a better deal.

@RubyCarbuncle they mentioned they’re aiming to drop a new game every 3 month quarter. Giving each dev nearly 6 years to develop it.

Also you can’t knock Xbox lacking exclusives because their on PC. If you do, that would make all PS games timed exclusive.

@JapaneseSonic not really. They only showed a handful of projects. They have 23 studios. Most with unannounced projects. They do have their own show. I think the last one was in 2019, before the pandemic. Really though they still have a bunch to show.

I mean, the rule book doesn’t say “when” you have to start nurturing. Nothing says they can’t buy em’ up, and THEN start nurturing. Also I’m kinda worried that MSFT will start gobbling up Japanese devs.

@Col_McCafferty I mean, it didn’t hurt outriders at all. This site said it would crater, but it didn’t.

@SwittersB and all of it at full price.

@The_Pixel_King they Never hid it. Double fine was even talking about it all over Twitter.

No one hid it. It was made clear years ago, and even after the buyout. Come on do some reading.

@uptownsoul look up the growth of mixer compared to other streaming sites.

@uptownsoul mixer wasn’t bleeding money. It just wasn’t getting anymore popular. Every other site grew during the pandemic. YouTube, Facebook gaming and twitch, but not mixer. They knew it wasn’t going to grow any further.

Kinda reaching here lol.

@kingbreww Remember it was a small team Internally. And that each game had to be tested, and permission received from the license holder. So far with 360, and OG Xbox they have about 616 as I counted. Program ran from 2015 to 2019.
That’s almost 13 games a month, 154 a year.

It’s actually really impressive. They paused in order to focus on ensure Xbox One games worked with Xbox X/S, but plan on returning after. Really it’s actually quite impressive.
