[–] mereo@piefed.ca 57 points 3 months ago (3 children) Lol... It was foolish of Sony to retire from the PC market... Exclusives will not entice people to buy a PS5 in this economy. permalink fedilink source hideshow 6 child comments replies: [–] samus12345@sh.itjust.works 28 points 3 months ago (1 child) Yeah, it seems like the exact wrong time to do that.

Inshallah! permalink fedilink source parent [–] magiccupcake@lemmy.world 4 points 3 months ago (1 child) I bought a ps5, and like what exclusives? Since 2020 I bought like 6 games? (At least ones that aren't remasters) Horizon forbidden West, god of war Ragnarok, ghost of yotei, GT7, Spider-Man2, and returnal. Of these only 2 are still exclusives. Not great value for a ps5, I thought I'd be buying more single player exclusives but there just aren't that many. Even if Sony locks down future titles to being exclusive, they are not making enough to justify a console over a pc. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] sbbq@lemmy.zip 2 points 3 months ago (1 child) You missed out on Astrobot. Ratchet and Clank was a pretty good tech demo, also. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] winkerjadams@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 3 months ago Ratchet and clank is on pc too permalink fedilink source parent [–] BreakerSwitch@lemmy.world 1 point 3 months ago While I don't strictly disagree, PC hardware isn't cheap today either. Just had a desktop get damaged in a move, and I am loathe to replace any parts (really need a new mobo though, it's TECHNICALLY working, buuuut...) permalink fedilink source parent
