No, it's the former.Maybe i got that wrong. Did that only happen with games Sony had a marketing deal for? In that case that would be ok for me, i thought they did this with random games just to damage Game Pass.
Thanks, buuut I can’t go through 25 pages, oh well. Just reading that first page you start to see a pattern emerging.

In that case i was wrong. Forget what i said and go on roasting those simpleminded guysYeah....just for marketing deals.
I don’t think OP is for your benefit GHG - it’s more like a community gift that we can quickly reference to shut down Greenberg’s minions.Like I said before this is standard practice for marketing deals, especially if said marketing deal includes and agreement (or first dibs) for that game to appear on subscription services.
Will be first on the best deal in gaming PS+.That is incorrect. RE 8 was prevented from going to GP for one year and then 6 months after that Sony had right of first refusal. RE 8 could be on Game Pass right now if Capcom wanted it to be.
Calm down. I’m an Xbox fan and I never made that claim. I’m sure plenty haven’t.Every Xbox fan on here and across the internet saying only Sony did this, when everyone else said otherwise.
You have to forgive some people not using the smallest bit of critical thinking skills on what a marketing deal means. Yes let Sony spend a bunch of time and $ Marketing a game, like Hogwarts Legacy for example, only for Xbox to have it on gamepass when its not on PS Plus... what would be the point of the marketing deal if they did that.If you spend a shitload of money on marketing a product so it sells, you don't want it to be on any sub that cannibalizes sales.
Otherwise, your marketing money goes down the gutter.
Temporary exclusive aren't a new thing, why is everyone acting surprised all of sudden.
I was being facetious.Calm down. I’m an Xbox fan and I never made that claim. I’m sure plenty haven’t.
Haha what a farce!Instead they try to play the good guys
Microsoft Accuses Sony of Paying to Block Games from Xbox Game Pass
Sony pays "block fees" to publisherswww.pushsquare.com
My mistakeI was being facetious.
Guys, even better ...
Microsoft claims Sony pays for “blocking rights” to keep games off Xbox Game Pass
The claims were made in legal documents to a Brazilian regulator.www.theverge.com
mostly likely it’ll be just “crickets”Im waiting with what new narratives xbox fanboys will come up with, since this one was pretty exhausting. Every website, forum or these dumbass youtubes were running away with this constant crying about Sony “actively paying under the table and blocking games coming to xbox”.
Keep up the same energy,I must be missing the incredible revelation here. Is this news ?
yepmostly likely it’ll be just “crickets”
well you certainly thought this sorta thing to be newsworthy in the pastI must be missing the incredible revelation here. Is this news ?
Sony paying to block stuff from competitors ?
WHAT
A
REVELATION
They have been doing this since 1995.
Sony have been cock blocking games and buying exclusives ever since they entered the market. They are the absolute champions, with old school Nintendo.
MS statement here at least is true.
Sony did not hesitate to put PS exclusive in a trailer for a game that was only timed. FF XVI I think it was.
Typical Sony communication
That's because sony...spiderman.....evil.....Jim Ryan.
Kumbaya my Phil, Kumbaya...The goodness of good guy phil never ceases to amaze me.
Now watch Stray doesn't count....for reasons.I'm glad I wasn't the only one who thought that after reading that post, lol.
The games eventually end up there. Like CoD and others, they just don't do day 1 for big AAA 3rd party games, and Activision has admitted they like that model better.
Smaller games like Stray and the like are day 1.
People have cried blue murder about Sony having blocking deals.Did anymore expect otherwise? It makes perfect sense for them to want to do that.
Big info that got revealed in an unredacted document, they are signing deals to keep games out from other subscriptions than gamepass
except it’s not? we’ve already established that Sony does this with marketing deals, Microsoft has been doing this just with Game Pass deals even on games they don’t have marketing on (likely Sea of Stars for example and someone else brought up A Plague’s Tale: Requiem)Oh shit Microsoft doing exactly what sonys doing! Just with game pass...
Spider man pointing at each other jpeg
Marketing a game is different than having a marketing deal.
Microsoft put Plague Tale Requiem on Game Pass day one, but PlayStation actually did more marketing for that game. Neither Microsoft nor Sony had any marketing deal for that game.
On the other hand, PlayStation had a Hogwart's Legacy "marketing deal" (the type which would have prevented a Game Pass deal), and that level of marketing was on a whole another level.

Receipts of what? That Xbox does some of the same shitty things to sony that we already knew sony does to Xbox. Many of your compadres strongly defended this so I can't imagine why you would be upset. Personally I still think it's a shitty practice regardless of who does it.We got all the receipts.
some of them have popped in to say things like “why is this news?” or “we already knew this”By the way, all the Xbox friends are absent from this thread right now. The conversation is very unbalanced right now.
I stand by my statement. Exclusives are bullshit, but that is the way most fans want it so be it.Hendrick's - thoughts?

Sony’s marketing deals stipulate that they get first option of it in plus. So in that situation Sony allows the publisher to use their marketing muscle, make a load of up front sales and then have the option of going into PS+Sony is paying money to keep games off gamepass and calls it a "marketing deal". Microsoft is paying money to keep games off psplus und puts them on gamepass instead. Tell me, which deal is better for the consumer?
No worries, to show how balanced you are we can wait for the next outrage in a teacup if Sony is involved .I stand by my statement. Exclusives are bullshit, but that is the way most fans want it so be it.
Oh no. Please no more GOTCHAs.No worries, to show how balanced you are we can wait for the next outrage in a teacup if Sony is involved .
I believe every subscription service on earth might do this.Isn't there a precedent for TV/Movies doing this? What about the EA Play and Ubisoft titles?
I bet they blocked the PS5 port of Yakuza like a dragon, released just 4 month after other versions. Same happened with Wreckfest.
