@I_DeathSinger_I It's always funny to see you write about fanboying

[Brian East 🍐 @Merco981]

@I_DeathSinger_I PC gamer telling randos to buy a console is crazy work.

I highly doubt you'll take your own advice with that fancy gaming PC you've got.

@AmericanTimdog Good for Xbox if they go back to exclusives.

They will lose a hell of a lot of money before they make any though

[Brian East 🍐 @Merco981]

If it is true, Gears E-Day is exclusively an Xbox/PC game:

You need to understand, it will need to be a flat-out amazing game of the year contender type of game in order for it to do what #Xbox wants it to do.

Cherry-picking reviewers pre-launch to artificially boost the meta scores won't work. That trick has been overdone, and gaming Twitter will easily see that coming.

Real FOMO comes from games universally recognized as must-play.

@Spectre799games Imagine if the only movies developed by film studios were done via fan requests....

@Smilomaniac ok, fair point

[Brian East 🍐 @Merco981]

@DestinLegarie You know that is an amazing thought...

You should go to Sony Santa Monica and talk to the writers, get them to change the name.

If you didn't put PlayStation off with the lack of sales on PC, you could have had this in GoW:Laufey

@SonySantaMonica @PlayStation

I hope you guys keep track of some of these guys when they ask for a review code pre launch.

@nuhre_ @grimy_trades and people wonder why Playstation saw the PC space and said, "nope"

[Brian East 🍐 @Merco981]

@curatorgamingx Racing is niche

[Brian East 🍐 @Merco981]

@JamiesAct Cart in front of Horse, they actually did significantly discount the Xbox on multiple holiday seasons, and barely anyone took the bait.

You need better exclusives first.

Have a big trip coming up at the end of June

This came at a great time

PC Gamers are the creators of their own problem here.

Publishers will always want their games purchased, and will push back as long as gamers still search for ways to freeload.

Just so happens that consoles in general carry way better anti piracy measures that don't impact the optimization on their own.

Every workaround once found can be easily resolved.

So is the issue the fix, or is the issue the fact that the walls of the garden got patched up?

@ATRIUM_ONE @Garaa0fTheRage Frauds have a problem

@Puertorock77_ Interesting how the Evil DRM narrative is still going on...

Makes me wonder if some of these guys who were active on that exploit are trying to gaslight the DRM situation in hopes that they can continue freeloading games off "evil Sony"

[Brian East 🍐 @Merco981]

Check Mystic Ryan's recent post on youtube.

It seems that resetera mostly figured it out to Playstation fixing an exploit to fake a return on a game through jail breaking a playstation and keeping it offline to fake owning the license for the game.

Likely Playstation kept it quite to keep others from getting further ideas on the concept.

@JayDubcity16 Damn, that sounds like he's still holding the line.

So beyond all this pocket watching and twitter PC Builders trying to build their #PS5Pro killer, I've been thinking about it, who is this new console for?

Easy answer is the enthusiast with deeper pockets and sure I won't argue against that.

But I can consider one other angle...

Imagine someone enjoying the PS5 feature set and for what it offers: the exclusive games, 1st party, 3rd Party, timed whatever, are great.

You keep hearing about the PC guys who say that the exclusivity doesn't matter, they'll get it eventually and it'll look better, and sure, respect for the people patiently waiting, that's fine.

What if Sony sees this discourse and thinks: if the PS5 Pro can get closer to rivaling PC level of fidelity (NOT matching OR exceeding, just get in that space), how many of those guys thinking of PC builds would rather pick up a pro and forget about building a PC and spending more out of pocket for less of a difference and putting them into the ecosystem?

There's got to be a business angle they want to play at here.
