Back during the ABK trial, those same xbox cheerleaders demanding HD2 said sony could just go make their own shooter to offset the loss of revenue from the COD deals. "Deal with it! Let xbox compete"
Well Sony didn't let the grass grow under their feet did they? Deal approved, MS got ABK and now apparently they also can't survive without HD2.

Idk why PlayStation fanboys wouldn't want more players, at least eventually when the player base dies down.

Because there's demand for the game. The easiest and least expensive point of entry is to buy a PS5. More consoles sold and profits made means more overall brand strength. Has nothing to do with being a fan boy. One console manufacturer is in the midst of a failed attempt to devalue their brand and there's no reason to follow that strategy.

For GAAS stuff that depends on a large player base, sure, why not. That should at least theoretically improve the experience for everyone (as long as the servers can keep up), which isn't the case for SP titles.

Well this certainly is a strong fanboy argument. Seems you care more about a mega corporation than fellow gamers.

Poor Microsoft. You should go volunteer your free time to help them out.

I see mega Corp and my mind just makes a weird connection. I can't explain it.

I own an XSX, PS5, and a relatively high end PC. It's a great game. I just think everyone should be able to enjoy games like this, which is why I'm happy Sea of thieves is finally going to PlayStation.

"Why not. As soon as the servers are fixed every player should be welcome."
- my customer no-stakes perspective.
"Hell no! Maybe later when 99% of the money has already been made"
- If I was a Sony manager with my platform`s attractivity and rentability in mind.

Pure unsubstantiated lies.
Nobody is championing this but Phil Spencer and his shill army.

I’m sure there are PlayStation players with friends who are on Xbox and wish the Xbox users could play with them. But man, who cares? I enjoy HD2 but people are making way too big a deal about it.
Also, imagine if this game actually was on Xbox, the servers and tech issues would be even worse.

The difference is Bungie said from Jump St. that all of their games would be multiplatform. Here? No such promises were made and Helldivers doesn't "need" to include Xbox users. Besides, where was all of this "sharing is caring" bullshit when Starfield launched? Did we see Jim Ryan out there begging for it?
This is pure, comedic bullshit.

Some people are idiots I swear. as if the devs have the game ported and ready for xbox but Sony is refusing to release it.
assuming Sony says ok ( they will not. they are not stupid like MS to release good games in competitor hardware, especially a one that spent 70B out of its pocket like its nothing )
by the time the port is ready, the game will probably be dead.

No. It would encourage minimal sales and articles about why it should be on Gamepass. Helldivers 2 shouldn't be devalued

Not really no.
Playstation isnt some dying console that needs to be porting exclusives. No matter how the competitor wants to spin it as for the "gamers". A company with tons of purchased IPs and they cant seem to know how to make an impact.
Yes- i own all three consoles. I like exclusives personally.

The numbers speak for themselves
This proves they had a big launch on Steam. That’s about it. Palworld has big opening doesn’t make it bigger than Minecraft. It can reach there but needs a lot of work and quality first.
Would be interesting to see how Helldivers develops. Developers need to prove they are not one trick pony and game offers something beyond explosions and chaos.
Deep Rock Galactic is a good comparison point. That game is quiet mature and mission variety and activities is very good. Thats where they need to take Helldivers to.
I am calling Halo/Gears comparisons silly cause budget behind those is in different ballgame.
