Our Misstep: How a Decision Almost Hurt Our Brand

Game news “A decision that would have further damaged our brand” It is inspired by an apology message from Sony for Xbox

A new relationship between Xbox and PlayStation?

Indeed, if you're not an Xbox gamer, you should be pretty happy. Some of the machine's games have arrived on the PlayStation 5! For example, we have Hi-Fi Rush, Penment or Sea of ​​Thieves. That said, some people are saddened by this news. Indeed, since some of these games were available on Xbox (and PC) only, they are exclusives which are no longer available. The list will grow in the coming weeksbut we don't yet know how many other games will see the light of day on the rival console.

Now that we know that certain Xbox titles will no longer be exclusive, Internet users are confused, to say the least. If Sea of ​​Thieves is a good idea for the multiplayer side, solo games have no real reason to stop being excluded according to the detractors of this new feature.

Familiar excuses

The fervent defenders of this category of game have expressed themselves a little on social networks. To try to bring a smile to the faces of saddened people, @klobrillean account that shares news from several studios like Xbox Game Studios, apologizes for them with humor.

Xbox fans: We've heard your feedback on the cross-platform activity update for Xbox games. The execution of Order 66 of 2024, which would have further damaged our brand and our own hardware, and which would have made all discussions about Xbox since then horrible, will not take place.

We're still learning what's best for console players and your feedback has been invaluable. Thank you again for your continued support of Xbox and we will keep you updated on our future plans.

These lines are far too familiar to be a coincidence. The apology message isn't really one. The satirical message is a true copy and paste of PlayStation's apology message cited earlier about Helldivers II, with some changes in terms of content. Moreover, the account itself says it in the comments: “We call it satire”, in response to a comment which did not understand the second degree of the post. This little message of humor is enough to stir the knife in Sony's “play”.
