yes, this is the part where I gave up trying to say
because now fuck it, why bother. pc players and xbox players do not care as soon as they got theirs. they won't show the same support as soon as they get their games.
Why should I show support for players on other systems, if players on other systems will not show the same support back?
Thats arguing in bad faith, given that even after the buyout, Zenimax still produced games on the other devices. Arkane Lyon (deathloop), ID interactive (Doom), Tango Gameworks(Ghost Wire Tokyo), Mojang(Minecraft) and auch still produced games for other consoles, despite being owned by Microsoft.
Microsoft puts its developers games on other devices more often than the reverse. Its only within the past few years that Sonys been putting about half of its titles on PC.
Most of those were preexisting contracts they needed to fulfill. You're the one who's arguing in bad faith.
Emphasis in most, they still put effort into doing so, more so than the reverse, who doesnt even touch the console side.
