They shouldn't every game should have a platinum. Easy period. People choose to buy a game just for a platinum. It is a free choice how they WANT to spend their money. If anything just make sure the game is an actual game if real effort was put into it should get a platinum. A game like SOMA that I finished two years ago or so it should have had a platinum. A game like Contrast that luanched with PS4 should have had a platinum. Any real game should have a platinum and shovel ware by definition just shouldnt be on PS4 or any store to begin with.

Cat Quest III Is Heading to Apple Devices on August 8

"A big part of being a cat pirate is sailing the seas and traveling from place to place. What better way to do just that than by playing Cat Quest III on the go? Soon, aspiring kitty pirates will be able to enjoy the charming cat-themed action RPG on iPhone, iPad, and Mac.

Maybe if they release old Sony games on more platforms they could earn more $$.
To make new games.

They will lose nothing. maybe some screams from few angry fanboys. and that's it.

I'm trying to think? The only PS game I might try is Days Gone...maybe?

Questioning if you are attempting to think is the first sign of dementia.

GhostScholar2h ago(Edited 2h ago)

I’m the biggest Xbox fan but that’s just not believable what you said. I love days gone but you are telling me you have no interest in Spider-Man? Uncharted? God of war ? Horizon? Ghost of sushima? Come on man

They have no choice. Their market share is shrinking and they are in it for the money

ravens526h ago

No it's not wtf? So we're just gonna run around and make stuff up now?

@ Gunstar75

lol are you serious right now? If Sony has shrinking market share whos eating it? Definitely isn’t Microsoft when the series X/s are selling worse than the Xbox one. The switch is WIDELY known as a companion console. It’s what you get WITH your Xbox or PS or even PC. Some games simply sell best on PC, but that’s a minority. As someone that plays on everything, please explain who Sony ids losing market share to? If anything they want to recoup from these live service blunders.

A few years or maybe a generation from now, everything will be at best, a timed exclusive (other than Nintendo and some PC titles).

GhostScholar2h ago

Agree and even the bluest ponies know that

ravens526h ago
