The entire issue with this article is the need to downplay A to show B as good.
I wasn't really speaking to the article itself, just stating I felt MS was pushing the envelope more with Game pass than Sony currently is with NOW. If that specifically was stated in the article, I don't disagree with it, personally. Regardless, it's ultimately good that both have found success for each company, as they will push each other to be better (PS NOW's large streaming library pushing MS towards Xcloud, and MS's large downloadable library through Gamepass pushing Sony to offer downloads with NOW), same as with the Consoles themselves.
While this is true, there's a saying: it's not what you say but how you say it.
I never called you a fanboy. You are the one that resorted to name calling. You're also incredibly dismissive of what I and others have said as well, just to throw that out there.
I never claimed Gamepass has more subscribers. I said the data only supports that a more expensive service that has been around for longer has made more profit than Gamepass, and that's all it shows. I simply don't believe so many quick conclusions should be drawn when we no have hard facts beyond what the data shows (and yes, that should include what MS has said as well, although I'd like to believe they aren't blatantly lying in this instance, at least). We do not know any data related to subscribers, is all I stated.
This I wholeheartedly agree with, and I would personally love to see that happen (it should be obvious that I love Gamepass as a concept). I know it's been argued it wouldn't make Sony as much money, but man, can you imagine what a service that offered, let's say, God of War 2, Horizon 2, Uncharted 5, Bloodborne 2, etc. on PS5 all day one for $10 a month (hell, it might even be able to get away with $20 a month at that price, considering NOW is apparently doing well as it is) would be like? It could be massive. I know I wouldn't hesitate to subscribe to something like that.
It's pretty hard to miss. Having games launch on the service is why Game Pass is constantly talked about, while PS now is pretty much ignored. It's arguably the most important aspect of Game Pass, and a big reason why people compare it to Netflix. It's a little odd trying to downplay games launching on Game Pass in a month that has Ashen and Below launching on the service.
Yes, switch objective and subjective in that sentence...
Nah, I didn't move any goalposts man. I just wasn't aware that Bloodborne was on PS NOW. Like I said, you were right, and I was wrong, plain and simple. It's got at least a few great games on there.
A lot of people in this thread really like to hurl the fanboy accusation with wild abandon. I find it really insulting, tbh. Nowhere have I said PS NOW isn't competent, and if I have, I would like it quoted and shown for all to see. I have said that I dislike streaming, and that you really need to like Streaming for NOW to be a worthwhile service, as the downloadable libraries aren't really comparable. Additionally, I said I don't believe NOW to be innovative or pushing the envelope in the way Gamepass currently is, which it isn't.
Can you link me to the most current list of downloadable titles? I would like to see it for myself. That prior list was was what I could find. Couldn't find any listing of the new games, just that For Honor was among them. Regardless, you are right that I shouldn't have made claims to this without knowing the full downloadable library of NOW. I believed genuinely that I was looking at the most recent listing of titles.
Look the post above.
I really don't think you are paying very close attention to Sony throughout the generation then if you think that somehow all of or even most of their exclusives fit the third person shooter mold.
I know this wasn't meant to be savage....but cot damn it was savage.
