    Waste of money. Eventually they will just close most studios, as always.

            More competition is great, but I always hate platform-exclusive content. PS5-exclusive games, Xbox-exclusive games, Switch-exclusive games, even if we're going to movie-streaming world, we have Netflix-exclusive series, Disney+-exclusive series, Apple TV-exclusive series, Hulu-exclusive series, like damn those big companies really make this "exclusive" terms really normal in this modern world.
            Kalian tau apa yang buruk dari ini? Kalian bisa saja ingin memainkan game tertentu karena terhalang keterbatasan platform. You want to play Gran Turismo series in PC? Nope, keep dreaming it's PS-exclusive. They want you to buy their PS5. You want to play The Legend of Zelda in your tablet? Nope it's Switch-exclusive. Just buy a Switch, they want your money. You want to play the upcoming Indiana Jones in your PS5? Sorry dude but Microsoft just want to make it PC and Xbox exclusive, even though some internal codes says that they already developed the PS-version of Indiana Jones, but nope. They need more money from their Xbox Series X/S selling.
            At least in music world you can choose easily between Spotify, Apple Music, Tidal, YouTube Music since most of the popular songs are mostly available in all of the platforms that I mentioned. (some exclusivity especially in YouTube Music existed tho, but you know that everyone can make music and posted it easier on YouTube right?). But for the gaming and movie world, it's a different story.

                According to Wikipedia MS currently has more first party studios than Sony i.e without Activision Blizzard.

                  Microsoft just bought an entire Publisher, I'm not sure you understand the difference between that and a developer

                      And monopoly? 🤣
                      Sony still have more gaming studios than MS will have with this deal.

                      Problem is that fools like you two comments on something about you don't have idea...

                        Honestly more people should try Xcloud. Before qhen it was new it was shit but now its super good it has NO delay. And the only thing i get is sometimes the screen has a line going up or down and it looks darker than everything like a slideshow but it doesnt happen that much and sometimes you see pixels or weird color saturation being too extreme. BUT this was all in WIFI not in Ethernet so things wouldve been better if it were connected and if the internet was faster. I have a 50mbps but even with that id say youd have a decent gameplay that really wouldnt be TOO different from the original. BUT maybe yall with ethernet at 50mbps can try it out or faster. Will have less problems than i did. Still game ran good as fuck, only 1 stutter where it froze for 1 or 2 seconds but that was after playing for 5 hours. So its pretty good for now.

Sony users are happy as long as their platform uses every dirty trick to gain advantage, because its their platform and they dont lose anything. But the moment others use the same trick, they complain. Its a very common human behavior

                                        Now Amazon/Facebook/Apple know they could just buy their way into the gaming space if they wanted to.
