Even if it's on GamePass day one, that is outweighed by the fact it's been taken away from those who don't have access to GP which is tons of people.

Tweet of a random YouTube video of a screenshot lol.
Anyway any and all 3rd party exclusive deals are disgusting. Consumer doesn't benefit because little Johnny across the street can't play.

Can ark2 even run on a switch. Ark barely ram on Xbox one and PS4.
What about ff7 remake?

A game can be on game pass day one and not be a timed exclusive. Those things aren't necessarily related

I cry about Xbox and hate PlayStation.
i never seen anyone talking about Ark, and isnt the first one suckass? and it runs like ass?It's funny until you realize that Ark 1 comfortably outsold FF15.

Was this the huge XBOX exclusive going to PlayStation that people online were hyping up?
I agree, it sucks and shouldn't exist. But at least some gamers can profit this way so it's not 100% useless like this shit used to be.
I know, Two Point Campus or Sniper Elite 5 for example. I never said they are related.

It's janky as fuck but it's still way more fun than most polished AAA games

Ah look, everyone’s here to show their support. Yes, of course this has to be moneyhatted. Sure has nothing to do with it coming to early access / Game preview, a Platform/Concept Sony for whatever reason simply doesnt support. You guys seriously expect this developer to ship a 1.0 version day one? Lmao take your fanboy glasses off people.
even the ones that cause games that would other wise not get produced to happen?
if sony is funding the new silent hill and keep it exclusive, good, (though until it is physically in my hands, I'll assume all silent hill stuff is fake), Nintendo bank rolling Bayonetta 2 and 3, never would have haloened without them, 3rd party exclusive deals are awesome if it brings something that otherwise wouldn't have happened
50k players on steam, constantly pimped on game pass, mind bogglingly frequently on switch top sellers digitally , performance wise, unstable 30 sub hd on xbone and ps4, I can live withbthat, switch port is something else, like doom 3 hacked to run on a voodoo 2 type bad

whats the point of doing timed exclusives for shit like this? aint nobody buying consoles to play this game!
So now your fine with timed exclusives once I pointed out you had no problem with ff7r being exclusive?
Edit: also Microsoft published mass effect until ea bought BioWare.

And he'll answer that you are fine with whole publisher being bought and the circle will be closed.Can't you guys just agree that timed exclusive a shitty no matter who does it except if otherwise the game wouldn't have been made ?
And that 3rd party exclusives depending on how they're done can be shitty or good?And finally that this is not a x == good and y == bad it is a business and those are financial decisions, we are not arguing aout whose friend is right.
I suggest you actually read the entire conversation including the link I posted.
I’m calling him out for being hypocritical. I’m not taking sides in whether timed exclusives are good or bad.

That was not about you but more about how it's the same discussions and arguments over and over, break the cycle with a goofy gif and move on...
Fine.

But I thought MS hated moneyhatting and didn't do it.

I would gladly play Ark over any final fantasy. But that is just me.
I am quite looking forward to Ark 2

Phil Spencer said this sort of thing was part of their long-term strategy. That was seven years ago.

Yeah but he is planning 20 years in advance...Phil Spencer said this sort of thing was part of their long-term strategy. That was seven years ago.
Temtem is fine on PS5 if you know what you're getting into
I'm not necessarily looking for a grindy creature-collecting RPG at the moment, but if you are, this is the Pokémon alternative to consider.

Temtem
Temtem is a massively multiplayer creature-collection adventure. Seek adventure in the lovely Airborne Archipelago alongside your Temtem squad. Catch every Temtem, battle other tamers, customize your house, join a friends adventure or explore the dynamic online world. Every kid dreams about...

Not Rogue Legacy 2, or Death's Door.
You mean stuff like the DLC for GTA4? Tales of Vesperia? Eternal Sonata? Mass Effect? STALKER2? Bioshock? Tomb Raider?

No, I simply said FF7 was a welcome addition to the Playstation line-up. Which it is.
Forgot Alan Wake too, that was another I got on PC. Stalker 2 and Warhammer Darktide likely the same.
Exactly. You had no problem with a timed exclusive until you did. Just happened to be for Xbox instead of Sony. I’m not arguing whether the practice is right or wrong.

That's interesting, thank you. I actually thought that was the reason why Arma: Reforger isn't on PS4/PS5 yet, too. MS sure as hell didn't pay for that one.
I don't know about Death's Door, but MS didn't pay for Rogue Legacy. Sometimes the answer is quite simple:

No, I think that's a lot of people. Ark is a bigger franchise than Final Fantasy at this point. The casuals still living in 1998 shant' be taken seriously.
I'm a little disappointed to see it's coming to Switch though.

It's only fair, PS folks get FFXVI while Xbox gets Ark 2.
What am I missing here? It doesn't say they didn't accept some deal.

Not necessarily. Death's Door was an Xbox money-hatted timed exclusive that did not launch on Gamepass day one.

While I agree with you, weren't you among those cheering for MS buying Bethesda.
How is that better?

Well imo buying a studio and bringing them into the fold, paying for development, paying the employees salaries, health benefits etc is much different than just sending a lump sum of money to a third party to keep the game off of another platform. If Sony made bungie exclusive I'd get it. Your paying for everything. Vs if they went to EA to make Apex 2 exclusive to keep it off other consoles.

Whether it's MS paying the bills for Bethesda's studios to keep the lights on or not is irrelevant.
In both cases, the only benefit is to the first party. Xbox gamers would have played Bethesda games anyway. So MS paid to keep the games off the other platform.
You claim a difference, but functionally it's the same thing.
If anything, timed exclusivity is better for the gamers on the non-exclusive platform since the game's exclusivity window is time-limited.
Your logical inconsistency is pretty apparent here.

No, because being acquired (often) gives a level of safety that being independent doesn't. Theres a big difference from trying to keep the lights on with each game you make vs soely focusing on game development only and letting the executives at your new firm worry about the details. I get what you saying if you looking at both in a vaccum. Games on one console. But in actuality both are achieved through very different means. One requires more risk than the other if you buy the studio outright.
