I understand that power is a factor; I just find the idea of exclusivity in general to be fundamentally anti consumer behavior in the sense that it removes consumer choice. Make me want a PS5 because the PS5 is unique and good hardware, not because games are locked to it.
The idea of games being built for more powerful hardware is fine and makes sense; its not so much that the games are not on PS4 as it is that the games are locked to the Playstation environment that troubles me.
That's unfortunate. Games should never be banned. :/ I especially don't understand the bit about them being worried about impressionable younger people. This game is already rated 18 and up for PEGI. Its not meant for younger people to play.
I hope this doesn't discourage PQube from licensing Bullet Girls. The Bullet Girls games really need to come Westward.
@suikoden If it were men instead of women it'd still be fine. Its all fiction and cartoons at the end of the day. Its not real. No one is hurt. And limiting artistic expression sets a dangerous precedent, even if one might find this to be...well, lacking in value.

Re: Soapbox: Sony Is Not Anti-Consumer for Making PS5 Exclusives
@AhmadSumadi Hollywood would be anti consumer if it made me buy a specific bluray player (instead of any bluray player) to play their films.
