    And their business practices as well. Bringing store exclusivity to the PC games market and paying publishers to delay launches on other stores is not something I want to support.

      And they do everything they can to avoid any upgrades to their store. It took them 2 fucking years to add a cart to make multiple purchases at the same time. Before, if you wanted to buy a game and all its DLC, you had to purchase each of them separately.

      I never understood why console players always get so worked up about exclusives. People say the stupidest most absolutely nonsensical things like “the PS5 has no games”. What the hell do you mean?? The PS5 has lots of games, you’re just salty that other people can play those games too. Why can’t people just be happy that more people can enjoy the games? They have to have that feeling of superiority I suppose

        IMO, the PS5 doesn’t have any games that make it special in contrast to PC. Every game I have on my PS5 is also available on PC. The only console maker which really has exclusives is Nintendo, and personally I hate the concept of exclusives. It would be best if every platform would have the same games. I guess nobody would buy consoles than because of their Online services BS like PS Plus which is expensive or Nintendo Switch Online which uses P2P in 2026…

      I don’t really care about timed exclusivity, especially when it’s just downloading a different launcher. Permanent exclusivity, or worse eventual unavailability I do care about though.

      Satisfactory would have never existed otherwise. They got paid a lot for exclusivity, which allowed them to become so polished.
