Playstation releases games on PC, gamers say “PS5 doesn’t have any exclusives” and whine about it incessantly for 5 years. Playstation responds by saying “ok we will do some exclusives” and now gamers are whining about that. There’s just no winning.
I think the complaint has more been that the PS5 is lacking for games, period. I just looked it up, there have been 36 SIE games published on the PS5 thus far in what’s been roughly 5.5 years. It took SIE less than half that time to get to the same number published on the PS4.
I never understood consumers begging for exclusives anyway. Someone playing Halo on a PC or PlayStation doesn’t make it any less enjoyable for me to play on my Xbox. People that simp for corporations are weird.

it’s almost like it’s different people saying different things.
Nah, the internet is a monolith. When the hive mind agrees with me then the topic is just common sense and when we disagree I’m surrounded by sheep.
I’m mostly complaining about the morons whining about exclusives, tbf

Yeah it had quite the dry spell after launch, like the PS3, but for different reasons.
Why would gamers want exclusives? Thats stupid
I definitely have seen people saying the ‘ps5 has no games’ bs, people are stupid af
Winning is not being an absolute moron and getting mad that other people can also play the same games as you on other systems…
