This Bluesky user said it brilliantly.
Actually it’s:
Sony: Fuck gamers.
Microsoft: Fuck gamers.
Nintendo: Fuck gamers.
Valve: Everything must go come and buy you ho
Does Nintendo say Fuck gamers? They’re more “Fuck creative fans.”
I don’t own a Nintendo since Nintendo DS so I’m out of the loop.
They’ve always been violently litigious against any kind of preservation effort. Apparently this disdain for preservation goes back to the Super Famicom/SNES generation.
There was that whole thing where they changed their terms to allow them to brick Switch and Switch 2s if they decide you’re using them wrong or something.
(the Kirby in question is a Stålenhag-esque war machine engaged in a fight against ownership and preservation, Nintendo doesn’t get a free pass for having a highly marketable mascot)
Good thing then that every machine that plays games is basically the same nowadays. 20 years ago this would have cost the team at least a year.
Can I count on a PC release now?
Kojima’s tweet regarding PlayStation cancelling the project and finding a new partner in Xbox: https://xcancel.com/HIDEO_KOJIMA_EN/status/2097877506401681753?s=20
What does it say? xcancel is blocking me.
This seems like a totally needless blunder from Sony and an easy win for Microsoft.
If the game succeeds, Xbox now has the opportunity to have funded a spiritual sequel to Metal Gear Solid. But even if it doesn’t go anywhere, they have broken Kojima away from Playstation, at the very least.
The amount of intellectual property that Sony has let depart or atrophy over the decades is wild.
Sony has been on an absolute tear destroying all positive user sentiment in the last like… three months. I’m honestly astounded that they would do this so close to a new console launch.
This is the type of bullshit you pull after you’ve become a monopoly, not while you have a very close competitor on the same hardware release cycle as you that will be more than ready to eat your lunch
They were almost a monopoly, Xbox was circling the drain. Sony pulled the trigger too early.
Xbox was actively angering large swathes of the gaming community. All Sony had to do was sit back and let them implode. Instead they’re trying to outdo Microsoft.
Why does this dude get backstabbed on the regular 😂
2 weeks ago I got inundated by the yt algorithm of videoes trashing Kojima by 10 different channels. I was like…wtf is this?
Damn, progression these day aren’t from upping their collaborate, it’s to wait for your competitor kicking their own balls. So weird that Sony will evict a golden goose.
