i don't understand why anyone is upset about this. i'll let you in on a little secret: if they could, Sony would put their games on the Xbox too. they would sell them to Switch owners, too. the PC market is still the largest segment of gamers in the world, and Microsoft is already perfectly fine with selling games to people wherever they are. Sony has always been a little more cautious, and is dipping their toe in as well. Nintendo will do the same, but much later, once they're CERTAIN there's a market there. the "You have to buy a $500 box to play our games" market is going to start shrinking more and more over the next few years. as long as we have great games to play, do you REALLY care?
lol whenever i see a story like this, i think back to when EA bought the NFL license, and all the Madden fans were super hyped....then i smile.
ok seriously, EA doesn't care, and won't until you guys actually stop buying the game. whining about it then lining up at Gamestop on release day isn't going to solve anything, and again, as long as they get your money, EA DOESN'T CARE.
....Sega didn't realize that lots of people would want to play Persona and other games from their massive back catalog outside of Sony fans? i love Sega, i truly am a huge fan, but MY GOD the way they do business lol
@Exlee300p well no of course not, it's much more likely to be a collection of legacy Playstation games (ps1-4), featuring especially rare games. Sony has such an unbelievably deep back catalog that being able to play the dozens of games you missed would be a good value.
@Exlee300p if Game Pass continues to do well, Sony is going to create a service JUST like it lol. Hell, they probably will announce changes to PS Now which will make it much more akin to Game Pass. 10 million subscribers is a lot, but Sony is probably aware it would have more, with a similar service dedicated to legacy Playstation games.
It's nearly August. We don't know how much it's going to cost, when we can preorder, what games it's launching with, or when it releases. Just like Microsoft, we've gotten little more than a ton of trailers, a little gameplay, and a bunch of "wait and see". This this is launching (probably? i don't know) in 3 MONTHS. the next event needs to be informative and SOON. there are going to be a lot of pissed off people if they wait much longer AND make it impossible to find a ps5 at launch...whenever that is.
i just realized i might be waiting for more game announcements. it's literally just Ratchet and Clank for me. I mean i suppose i'll buy Horizon, but not that much excited me, i guess.
Madden fans can share all the hashtags, write all the petitions, and complain ALL THEY WANT. EA cares bout exactly one thing: money. As long as the same people complaining about the game keep mindlessly buying the game, absolutely nothing will change. guess what? Madden 22 is going to be the same way. and guess what? it'll sell a ton, because Madden fans seem to think they HAVE to buy it. Only when sales numbers start to decline will EA actually give a crap what the gamers say. I always smile, because i was an NFL 2K fan, and i still remember the idiot Madden fans celebrating when they bought off the NFL. Congrats, winners!
My only concern is whether they are trying to build up anticipation, OR is there a problem? honestly, I've found Microsoft's approach more frustrating (here's the machine, yaaaay! huh? oh, no we're not going to show any actual gameplay until July. byeeee!)

"EA doesn't seem to understand"....
THEY. DON'T. CARE. until people stop buying, they couldn't care less if the game is any good. we'll be reading this same article in 5 years .
