Just wait till executives realize they can't use AI as a scapegoat when they force a bad decision through the company. They'll have no one to take the fall.
Honestly every icon having every color I found to be annoying and made them all blend together into a rainbow mess. This looks much cleaner and easier to read at a glance to me
now they're pulling exclusivity because they believe it negatively impacts their ability to sell PlayStations.
Could be several reasons, but this sounds really plausible. Could also do with the rumors about steam being on Xbox, which means Sony PC ports will be on Xbox too.
But I still think Sony's gonna learn you can't put the genie back in the bottle.
If I didn't know better, I'd say Sony hates the fact that PC players pushed back on having a PlayStation network requirement on PC games. And they wanted that data.
But Sony is famous for making super bad decisions and backpedaling so I wouldn't worry too much. Worst case, their exclusives will be emulated and pirated someday.
If anything, it has encouraged people like me who were happily buying exclusives on PlayStation and PC to stop spending any more money on PlayStation though.
Any optimisations they make for low end devices now will only pay dividends in additional performance gains when the next steam deck and steam machine comes out
