I am just bitter about FF7 Remake and FF16.

Every game that has exclusive content on Playstation

Not because I don't have a PS5, I do. But I refuse to support those types of business decisions. Particularly when there is exclusive content.

Edit: Fixing FF15 to FF16

Aren't a lot of those Playstation exclusives time limited? I.e. for a year or two it's PS exclusive afterwards the company can release it for any platform they want.

I don't think we fully know what the actual situation is for that.

The FF7 remake came out in 2020 and is still not on xbox and there is no indication it will. Now that did come out on PC though.

Deathloop came out on Xbox but it is unclear if that would have happened had Xbox not bought Bethesda or if Sony would have tried to keep it exclusive.

The annoying part is that we just simply don't know what that situation actually looks like.

Microsoft claims that FF7R, FF16 and Silent Hill 2 will never be released on Xbox due to their contract with Sony.

FF7 could never have worked on n64.

...not without the Disk Drive and a can-do attitude!

(you're right though, the sacrifices required for an N64 port would ruin the game)

You mean the Nintendo exclusive?
