   That's what we're referring to
   
   Keep in mind the list does get bigger, but usually then get smaller in the process, it's hilarious

     @Tsuki @kirby exactly, as said, the list keeps getting bigger then immediately gets even smaller

     @wakarimasen @Tsuki @kirby not really in the end. It just ends up being "Why bother with consoles at all?"

     @coolboymew @kirby @Tsuki I don't understand why people keep complaining about this. The end of exclusives is a positive development for gamers — let people choose which platform they want to play on!

     It was good when Sony made a bunch of their own games in Japan studio and others but having third party games be exclusive is dumb I agree.

     @wakarimasen @Tsuki @kirby if there's no exclusives, there's just no reasons for consoles to exists. You can connect a PC to a TV

     @coolboymew @Tsuki @kirby I primarily play on console because I value the comfort of couch gaming over something like mods or slightly higher graphical fidelity. I also prefer to have different systems for gaming and computing. In the end, it's good that people can choose.
     
     If your only argument for owning a console is «I'd rather be playing this on PC» then that's not a good development for anyone in any way at all.

     @coolboymew @wakarimasen @Tsuki @kirby Steam deck and steam deck like "consoles" could kill traditional consoles.

     @wakarimasen @Tsuki @kirby @coolboymew Experience that you could get with a slightly specialized OS (like SteamOS) rather than being stuck to specialized hardware.
     In fact XBox/PlayStation are nearly undistinguishable from a gaming PC with a special OS, only difference is it being locked down.

     @coolboymew @Tsuki @kirby I disagree. Much more convenient to be able to boot my PS5 and get back into the last game I was playing within seconds by just pressing two buttons. Yes, it's mostly tiny things, but the experience on current-gen consoles is *extremely* frictionless, and that's something I value greatly. You can tell that Sony is under pressure to distinguish itself in other ways now that exclusives are no longer a sales argument — which also in the end is a positive development for the user.

     @lanodan @Tsuki @kirby @wakarimasen exactly. On top of the CD "installations", on top of the biggest games basically already being just "access tickets" on physical discs one gotta wonder why these consoles even exists anymore
