    This is like saying Sony is losing exclusives to PC because PS emulators exist lol.

      I mean yes, that’s exactly what people are saying with this? And it’s kind of true?

      It’s kinda like what Syndrome said: “when everyone’s special; no one will be.”

        Yes it would be so terrible if everyone could be the best at whatever they wanted to be or even feel valued for whatever they excelled in.

        Little offtopic incoming:

        “when everyone’s special; no one will be.”

        I never agreed with this statement. If everyone is special, then everyone is. In example in game Overwatch everyone has special abilities and are nothing alike anyone else. Everyone is a specialist in their own field. Everyone is special.

          I mean he said “super” not special, he was trying to sell superpowers to level the playing field and reduce the general public’s perception of super heroes.

          I get where you’re coming from, but imo I feel like the quote applies to video games and their publishers a good bit. At least nowadays.

          Everyone wants to be The Next Big Thing, everyone wants their game to be the only one people are playing.

            Yeah, this is really annoying and tiring. Especially multiplayer live service games are designed in a way that you have no time to play anything else.

      With that logic, Nintendo doesn’t have any exclusives too. Maybe besides Switch 2, but that console losing exclusives too.
