That toy looks nothing her. Maybe TLOU2 would have been ever so slightly less shitty if it did.

They're setting up PC to mostly be geared towards mobile multiplayer type games like Genshin and Apex legends. This was in their last investors meeting graph where most of PC's revenue is expected to be from MTX charges. It's why they're rushing two MTX games to market with the goal of having 12 in total.
The people who want single player experiences and sequels to the base games are going to need to go to console.
It's a form of customer segregation because their mobile expansion overshadows what they're doing on PC. The PS5 is still at the center of the operation because that's their own storefront where they get more money from as compared to Steam.
The mention of cross platform relates to PC and Mobile with the MTX game also being available on the PS5. By the end of this the majority of games that Sony will bring to PC will be Multiplayer MTX games.

Last of us part 1 don't have a multiplayer mode. You Sony Simps are desperate.

Last of Us is a PS3 game and has a seperate new multiplayer shooter coming out that's expected to be the MTX game.
The strategy is to port the first game but keep the sequels. TLOU introduces the world to new audiences and then they'll be more willingly to drop money on Factions.

If The last of us 2 is Sony's way of baiting people into buying a PS5 then they will be in for a rude awakening.

A last of us PS5 Sequel is a long ways off. Both Horizon and God of War have sequels in 2022 and both had their first games already ported.

Piracy preserves the GAME. That's the very important part that companies and corporations often neglect to preserve.

I just personally view piracy as a gray area. It's not something I'm for or against. I view it more or less as reliable vs unreliable.
It's going to vary from situation and from game to game. Like the World of Warcraft example, that's been mostly fan groups and people figuring out how to reverse engineer stuff so it works just like retail. But the code itself isn't going to match up to the original. It preserves the art assets and everything else, but if you were to look at everything on paper it's going to look entirely different. It's not an unchanged copy of the original because the original game is all server based on Blizzard's end which people don't have access to. Like it works, but it's almost like a Ship of Theseus to an extent.
I used GoG as an example of game preservation I like because they tend to keep everything together. I would sooner search out their version and throw them money than having a pirated version pop up for free. Now would I like more companies like GoG? Yes definitely, getting old games pushed on to newer hardware is always a good thing so people can experience older games. GOG also has their doomsday scenario tested and you can download your files and do with them as you wish, I do not think Steam has ever tested their(at least wide spread, when they were shut down in China, it seemed rather hit or miss if stuff worked because many were using foreign versions of the client).
But lionizing piracy does not seem like a suitable wide spread solution for the long term. It's not the most solid foundation to build upon, an alternative needs more legitimacy like something like a Library or Museum would have. The missing box art, booklets, or improperly transferred materials is one pretty major aspect that people got upset at other companies like Gamestop for since their policy is to throw out stuff like that.

Piracy is reliable, it has never failed me. So riddle me this: why does Earthbound have such a huge fandom(starting in 99-00) archiving all kinds of shit despite no one buying the actual game?

For a second I thought you said "angry yellow people" when I was skim reading posts, probably would have made more sense in the context of what you wrote.

Well after the recent Gary Bowser story, I really would not put that much faith in companies letting things slide or being unaware of them like they were in the past. That's kind of what I mean when I say unreliable. Nintendo has shut down competitions that used modified software in the past as well. The whole legality issue is a very big Achilles heel. There's a very big disconnect with the public and the providers when it comes to that.
10 years ago all 3 companies didn't really push the older games as a primary reason to buy hardware or services. Nintendo put out stuff like The Kirby Collection and Super Mario brothers Allstars for the wii(and this was just the SNES rom on a disc with nothing else). But now that's changed and there's now a very visible audience for the older games and the companies want to try and bank on them through assorted means.
You also have companies like Embracer Group who have bought up studios just for older games. Microsoft's buyout of Activision Blizzard has also put the future of the emulated servers in question as well. There's a good number of unknowns on the horizon and we know that more stuff is going to change hands soon because more buyouts are a given.
Yes pirated copies existed as a no-cost entry point for stuff for a long time. But I think a couple decades down the road that's not going to be the most viable option.

Looks like the PS4 lost another exclusive, Persona 5 Royal

Well there's no Switch ports and it's the same systems that Soul Hackers 2 is coming to.
If achievements on the back end are different from the PC and Vita release of Golden it may be a new version. If Portable is the version of 3 they're picking that means it's going to be on Sony's new service because PSP emulation was leaked.

The post was about Persona 5 Royal leaving soystation, not about Persona 5 Royal going to Nintendo.
What is the argument? "Ummm.... I-it's not on shitendo, I win!" It's coming to PC too, so if the argument was "lol xbox" that doesn't work either.
Moira your cope game is slipping, come on. I know you can do better.

You can't really call it soystation in comparison to xbox. Microsoft has already banished Japanese developers from their store(I mean nobody really is aware of this but Microsoft went nuclear on VN publishers because their software was deemed too inappropriate to their brand image).
It's going to shake out the same way when Final Fantasy came to xbox, the demographics are not there.
*edit*
No physical copies for Xbox, but apparently Persona 5 R is going to be a full priced release and may be on the microsoft store only since they're not saying Steam.
P3P and Golden have been modified so they are new versions. Persona 5 has been as well.

It's his only form of reconciliation although I wouldn't bet on it indefinitely as I can expect them to come out on Switch even if japanese-only, as I said half-jokingly in the other thread.
also lol Soul Hackers 2 is pretty much going to be a flop, especially in Japan as pre-orders for both PS4 & PS5 SKUs are much lower than SMTV managed to generate

Atlus has been reliant on the majority of it's sales in western countries since around 2016. Sega and it's subsidiaries in general are for the majority reliant on the west.
I know you push the /pol version of Japanese Nationalism but when it comes to JRPGs they've been bought by the majority by western countries since the late 90's. It's where the genre has experienced the vast majority of it's expansion. Persona 5 becoming a sales juggernaut was entirely due to it's western sales.

It's been 2 years retard. If it were to be released they would've done it a year ago or 3 months out of Part 2's release

No, Last of Us Factions is separate it's not tied to TLOU2. It was originally but now it's it's own game. Think of it like how Final Fantasy Comrades was made, it was part of 15 but then split off to it's own thing.
