      I’m with the other dude. Your comment makes no sense, even after reading the article. You have spat out words without context as to what you’re responding to, and without enough detail to infer it on our own. 🤷🏼‍♂️

        “You have to improve your odds by cracking the funnel open”…

        Literally the subtitle.

        The business is all about conversion. You have to improve your odds by cracking the funnel open. Helldivers 2 has shown that for PlayStation, coming out on PC at the same time. Again, you get that funnel wider. You get more people in

        How do you think they’re going to get people to move from PC to PS?

          It’s a dumb point because there is no console that beats having a PC.

          Are you seriously suggesting a handful of 40 hour single player experiences is worth sacrificing: full backwards compatability, emulation of all old consoles and games, Mods, games that can’t be adapted to the limitations of consoles (grand strategy, certain MMO’s), cheaper sales and key sites, as well as inevitably having access to the exclusives from all platforms

          The only path for console developers to win over customers is through cheap hardware, which doesn’t win over any PC users who have better rigs.

          Your point is bad at making any real point. You basically just spoke around the topic then blamed everybody else for not understanding lmao.
