Exclusives are competition and competition drives creativity and is good for customers.

Exclusives are soft-monopolies (predicated on a given good being non-interchangeable, which arts and other such media are to an extent). In the short term, they are bad for the consumer as they don't let them drive down the price, in the long term, it depends. The extra revenue can be reinvested for longer term product innovation, and replacements of a given exclusive can be made which would otherwise not exist that improve aspects of the original, and they promote diversity of storefronts which, preventing monopoly, can be beneficial to the consumer. When the only real difference between storefronts is exclusives the situation is generally bad for the consumer (e.g., streaming services) which is why the PC market largely rejects the Epic store (especially since they didn't even develop their exclusives sans Fortnite).

Regardless, it's obvious to see that without exclusivity the number of storefronts will shrink, with Xbox first to perish as they truly have nothing to offer at this point (besides the goypass, which will eventually lose its turd-world audience as the price inevitably increases when Microsoft stops selling it at a loss).
 
Exclusives definitely meant more back in an era where every console wasn't just a gimped low end pc, and porting wasn't such a relatively simple task. I would categorize modern exclusives into two categories. Additive and subtractive. Pretty much exactly what they sound like, an additive exclusive is anything that probably wouldn't have been made at all without being an exclusive. Pretty much any first party title would qualify here, as well as anything a first party gave a blank check to the devs in exchange for exclusivity, like bayo 2. Subtractive exclusivity is paying a relatively tiny fee intended to offset some of the lost sales that would have been gained on other platforms (generally with the implicit promise that being marketed as an exclusive will bring a certain level of hype from existing owners of said system) in order to keep it off platforms it otherwise would have been on, temporarily or not.

Out of morbid curiosity, given the way he wrapped that sucker up tight in plastic at the end, would just sticking that thing on an (isolated) shelf somewhere for six months kill the little fuckers via asphyxiation? Or is that kind of plastic not air-tight?

Also props to the store owner for refusing to work on that foul mess. It's the only way people will learn.

It would have to be an air tight container to even work and even then roaches are known to survive in low oxygen environments. The amount of extra damage and contamination the damn things would do inside the device would accumulate even more by the time these died (assuming death and not a state of semi-hibernation to survive due to lack of food, roaches are literally the worse. )

That PS5 is not even worth saving, the amount of roach shit inside makes it a health hazard. Imagine it turns on and with the heat and fans pushing that crap around and now you have airborne particles of roach shit for people in the room to breathe in, no thank you.

One can only imagine the kind of pigsty the owner lives in to have a roach problem so bad that these managed to nest inside his console.

The repair technician is in no obligation to pull double duty as pest control. Fuck that particular PS5 owner.
 
The blue haired nose ring fatty devs at soynys is raging today :story:

Is my idea or the PC version is using mods? No way that was the release.

Yes there is a variety of PC mods to get rid of the mental illness flags, the man jaw Mary Jane, the gay mission and other type of alterations. Of course you are not going to find them in faggot run sites like NexusMods because they take them down.

You can find them in BasedMods instead: https://basedmods.org/game/marvels-spider-man-2
 
It always amuses when the exact same people who sneeringly say "but how do this affect you personally? Sensitive much?" About faggot buttsex or junkies shitting in public lose their fucking minds and start screaming and crying whenever someone uses mods to make a videogame character less ugly.
 
I hope there's a thread for the PS3's upcoming 20th birthday. I never had one myself, but that console always stood out to me from its flagship exclusives and sleek, fat design.

Motorstorm, Heavenly Sword, R&C Future: Tools of Destruction, Metal Gear Solid 4 and oddly enough, Madden NFL 09.

They love burning the US flag in acts of "protest" (and insist it's legal -- which it is) but want hate crime charges pressed against anybody who dares deface a fag flag (which is also perfectly legal under the same legal principle). It cracks me up every time, especially once you remind them of the former when they bellyache about the latter.

It wouldn’t be a Playstation celebration without someone pretending Madden is an exclusive.
