A joint console by Sony and Microsoft would mean I would need to spend less money.Opiate said:I have difficulty reconciling the obviously liberal slant of GAF (politically) with its apparent love for massive, conglomerated corporations (in gaming). To an extent I assume it's simply a different set of people, but many times I've seen the same people decrying massive corporate interests like "big oil" or "big pharm" in PoliGAF come over here and clearly revel in the amount of money "big media" is willing to spend on their interests. And in the most extreme cases -- such as this one -- even actively hoping that two of the largest companies in the world will merge their products to make it an even more massive corporate endeavor.
I'm not saying either of those positions is wrong (socialist or corporatist), nor am I saying every single person engages in this behavior. Instead, I'm saying that when I see both positions put forward by a single poster, I find these positions hard to reconcile.
It would mean I have access to exclusive games from both publishers.
Can't see anything bad in that.
