Look, I wouldn't want Game Pass on PlayStation. You're preaching to the choir here. Sony fanboys have spent the better part of a decade telling Xbox fans to buy a PlayStation to play exclusives, so PlayStation gamers can simply buy an Xbox if they want Xbox Game Pass, a PC if they want PC Game Pass, or stream it if they don't need a native version for all I care.
The thing I find hilarious is that the entire premise about Game Pass/PlayStation has
always been, from here to Era and everywhere in between, that Sony would never allow it for obvious reasons, despite Phil being "open to discussions" for obvious reasons. Like, this shit isn't even coming from left field. It's a common sentiment.
Framing it as if Phil is just "talking shit," that the real reason is it would kill Xbox and Sony would "reign supreme," and that it would give Sony a monopoly (wrong use of the term there, bud), is bullshit. That's why Sony has been quiet on the subject despite having an open invitation to publicly respond the many times journalists have asked them about it ever since Phil said he was "open to discussions." Wouldn't it be the easiest W in history? Instead Sony is doubling down to make their own competitor (or attempting to) so that they're not left in the dust.
Call of Duty, Fifa, Madden, 2K, etc. All at the top of Sonys best selling games EVERY year which we know that is how they make most of their money. All of that will be on Game Pass along with a plethora of other titles. And aside from all of that, what's stopping Microsoft from backing up a Brinks truck to secure more 3rd party AAA titles? All of which would be a detriment to Sony if their own gamers can pay Microsoft $15/month to play those titles. The revenue lost would be
astronomical.
Like I said, and the only thing I agree with
@Topher with, none of this matters because it will never happen. But I will add that it would be far more crippling to Sony then it would Microsoft. Again, common sentiment that I've seen parroted a thousand times. Don't know why it's so hard to grasp.
