Flashless at the Golden Globes
I dont think the OP literally meant he was going to sue Jim Ryan, he's just expressing his frustration at the misleading statements made by Sony.Good luck with that. A lawyer would spin this as only on their home console, opposite to say Xbox and Switch as PC is an open platform etc. I'm not saying what Sony did isn't bad. I mean they intentionally hid that MM and Horizon aren't exclusive then had a ridiculous upgrade plan for MM then after promising that Horizon upgrade would be free tried to test the waters that it isn't then when the backlash hit they backtracked. BUT it is hard to sue for stuff like this is my point, unless you are a very rich and very bored.
- Like you pointed out, the intentionally hid that MM and Horizon were cross gen.
- They advertised GT5 as a PS5 game in ads that had clear language for other games that were cross gen.
- They tried to charge an extra $10 for Horizon after promising it would be a free upgrade.
- They tried to pass off RE8 as a PS5 title knowing full well it was cross gen.
- They are now trying to pass off RE4 as a PS5 only game when everyone can see it looks cross gen as fuck.
- Now they are trying to hide that FF16 might not be a console exclusive like it was when it was first announced. The language is conspicuously missing.
That is the core of the OP's issues with Jim Ryan. I mean the guy literally promised that he is going to offer games that can only be enjoyed on PS5 and has ZERO next gen games coming out from his studios in 2022. Zero. We just got done ripping Phil Spencer a new asshole for not having anything ready for 2022, but we are oddly ok with Jim Ryan doing the same just because he released some last gen games this year even though he promised the following TWO years ago:
“IT IS TIME TO GIVE THE PLAYSTATION COMMUNITY SOMETHING NEW, SOMETHING DIFFERENT, THAT CAN REALLY ONLY BE ENJOYED ON PS5.”
