PlayStation exclusive content for Hogwarts Legacy will run for 1 year

Can't we just have a mega thread about all this drama crap? It's annoying when half the first page is "discussing" the same thing.

You mean like Nintendo with Bayonetta, like Sony with final fantasy and street fighter and like Xbox with the next Bethesda game? But only one of those companies is being a bitch about it.

Like clockwork. Maybe it's because your a MS shill but buying up whole publishers is a bit different to tying a 3rd party deal for limited exclusivity. The blame lies with the IP owner and publisher not Sony. Also MS could have made the deal first? No one stopped them.

Microsoft shouts proud in their conference where 80% of the content are timed exclusive. The problem no one gives a shit their crappy deals like crossfire X and co

And Sony could have bid on Activision too if they are so desperate to keep Call of Duty. No one stopped them.

Oh I guess the size of their purse did. 🫢
 
Big deal. It's just a shitty mission that they threw in for marketing purposes. It's not some big expansion. Let's hope Microsoft don't buy take two and EA because of this.

Come on man, its the only rational response to something like this. I mean, what else do you want them to do?

I hope Sony didn't pay too much for this, the entire franchise is quickly becoming as irrelevant as The Hunger Games. But good to know that I'll get everything when I pick this up for $15 in the bargain bin next year.

They only care about THEIR gamers. It is what it is. I'm just glad the extra content doesn't sound very appealing. The Xbox version lacking it shouldn't affect it at all. Still stinks, but whatevs.

Shit like this is minor. It would only be bad if it was meaningful content like an expansion.

If Microsoft saw it as a priority to get marketing rights to Hogwarts Legacy, they could've gotten this (optional) exclusivity content for Xbox and GamePass platforms themselves. I mean they can spend $7.5 billion for Zenimax and $69 billion for ABK, but not $15 million (if that) for marketing rights and some exclusive optional in-game content for a AAA release?

Why don't people ask the real questions before crying?

It'll be the standard deal.

12 months.
The game will receive marketing.
Sony will have first dibs on sub service inclusion.

People trying to use this as ammo to justify what Microsoft are doing can get in the bin.

Temporary exclusive content most people don't care about versus removing a series from a platform permanently. If you think that's remotely comparable then you need to get your head examined.

You guys are making too much sense for this thread.
 
What??? One year of content ??? Thats bullshit!!! MS should do the same thing and buy EA and take away FIFA forever!!!

They have a marketing deal with the game so why are grown men butthurt over some content being exclusive? This sense of entitlement, like certain content or games not coming to your system is a violation of your civil rights or something, is just childish.

And yes that could apply to Jim Ryan too over the COD statements but at least he's a businessman and says what he says for obvious strategic reasons. These randoms crying on Twitter over this stuff are just being manchildren.

Hypocrisy.
 
HP is one of the most successful franchises in the world, so marketing your console as the "best play to play to play the ultimate HP game" is a smart move.

Sure, on this forum we know it is just one mission and that the difference between all versions will be minimal, but most users don't spend time on gaming forums, including parents buying their son a new toy.

Comparisons to the Activision thing are ridiculous, though.

Sony are implying that exclusivity is wrong on the Activision deal but when you see this rubbish being done, I have zero sympathy.

It makes me not want to buy the game on a playstation and wait for pc or xbox.

I hate all exclusivity deals from third parties.

Makes me not want to buy the game at all. To pay full price but get less content doesn't appeal to me in the slightest. It's business but I'll always prefer a studio addition than paying to keep content off other platforms. Blocking content is pretty short sighted.

This is the worst kind of exclusivity as it is pointless and purely meant to be punitive to those who game outside of the PlayStation ecosystem. This is taking away content from gamers as a punishment for not playing where they want you. That is a fact that would be very hard to dispute.
 
Are you all really this upset about this timed content? I mean, it's most likely crap. Some of you even say that. Then you go and get all butthurt over it. Is this really upsetting or is it just something to be mad a Sony about?

As someone who doesn't care for cod, but sees Sony drowning in tears screeming foul with each breath makes me think MS might have made the right move and cod is bigger than I thought. It's funny to see clowns trying to justify exclusivity, but only from one side. "When we do it it's ok, but don't you dare act exctly like us!"

It is pointing out Sony's hypocrisy with "Protecting gamers"

Everyone hates Jim Ryan. Xbox fanbase hates it because hes trying to kill the CoD deal while moneyhatting exclusives himself. A portion of the PS fanbase hates him because hes wasting his money on moneyhatting dumb shit like this. Almost everyone hates timed exclusive content because its most likely crap. So unlike Phil Spencer threads where only the PS fanbase hates him, Jimbo gets shit on by everyone equally.

PS needs new blood and a fresh face. This is just a waste of money that could go towards a million other things fans have been asking for like Bloodborne 60 fps patch, DriveClub 60 fps patch, more first party games that are taking longer and longer to come out, and cheaper games and consoles. Dont charge us extra only to waste it all on dumb shit like this.

Including the 'Haunter Hogsmead Shop' mission, which will only be able to reach other platforms after 12 months

PC players will have to wait too

Lol comparing a temporary exclusive mission on a 'new game' to the buyout of an intire publisher and their long time established multi-platform IPs.
