Do you agree with Rich Evans?

I like Dragon's Crown, but sure as hell not buying a console for one game.

Except that's retarded, because the competition would still exist. It wouldn't be the retarded platforms competing, but actual GAMES competing. That would theoretically lead to games themselves trying to be innovative.

How the fuck is releasing a game on multiple consoles "stagnating the industry"? Make fucking innovations in the console design in order to sell it to the average fucking faggot.
Make it backwards compatible with a slew of different older titles, have controller compatibility allowing you to use a shit ton of different third party hardware, and a shit ton of other shit you can do to make the console itself stand out from the crowd of under powered pc's with a shitty os.

I sorta disagree in that console exclusivity can be good for lesser games. Its like because there is no Mario on PC stuff like Hat in Time and Yooka Laylee could get more exposure.

Pretty much yeah, but big corps want to gimp users to their own closed platform to keep them trapped and lure them into buying into microtransactions, "gold" subscriptions and all the other cancer that comes with a closed platform you have no control over.
This is also one of the main reasons I dropped consoles and went full PC this gen.

It never really took off, and people were starting to shit on both Rich and Jack for their opinions more and more. Honestly they never seemed all that passionate about PR to me

Studios and games still compete even if you take exclusives away so your point is moot.
>It'll always and forever be about the games
No it won't. Look how many console only games got ported to PC.

Yes, however there can be made a case for exclusivity if the platform has unique technical features that are indispensable to the game. WiiU Warioware game couldn't possibly work or any other platform.

Honestly you're correct but people don't like hearing that

Why do you think the first game industry crash happened user? its because peoples can make any games for any platform

Only partly. see Also consoles can still compete hardware-wise, which they're not doing enough since console hardware still sucks balls and is already outdated on release day by like 4 years.

Literally 3 of the replies prove him wrong

You can't reason with Snoysheep they are rabidly devoted to the cause.

I think console manufacturers owning game studios in direct competition with others, on their own platform, constitutes a conflict of interest.

No, it happened because Atari held the de-facto monopoly of video games and they overblew their budgets while sales failed to sustain the overstaffed company.

None of this is true

What you're proposing already been done in the 70s user, and it crashed the entire industry.

It happened because companies kept making super shitty games nobody would buy and lost all their fucking money

Jack started developing lung cancer from spending too much time with Rich and his corrosive dorito farts in an enclosed space, so they had to call it quits. It's a shame but it was necessary.

You do realize there is other console beside Atari and back then, there is no such thing as "exclusive". Game for atari can be played on any systems

Oh yea gaming was huge in the 70's right?
You can't compare the 2 eras you retard.
Vidya today is too big to crash.

I mean, they weren't pewdipi but they seemed to make decent money from twitch donations.

>Vidya today is too big to crash.
Its already happening user, in a way you least expected

Mike's eww is what got me.

So then it can't be because of accessibility, because we have exclusives nowadays, can it?

Do you agree with Jack Packard?

Considering the industry is pulling more profits than film and music nowadays, and continually growing in terms of revenue, it's safe to say that you're basing your assertions on nothing but wishy thinking.

To be fair, people gave him more shit than anyone in their shows. They treated that bald prick like garbage and he was probably fed up with it. RLM fans have some really fucked up people in their ranks.

>A game industry that is stagnant and decaying
This ironic because both great video game crashes were forced by too many consoles/systems and each of them trying to outcompete the other with exclusives.

You just prove to everyone how retarded and ignorant of history the average Epicshill is.

It happened because there was no system for consumers to weed out broken and bad games, which Nintendo solved by tightly controlling third party games.
Now that strategy is useless and wasteful, because there's so many ways to make informed decisions at your fingertips.

>To be fair, people gave him more shit than anyone in their shows.

And rightfully so because he was always acting like typical smug know-it-all leftyfaggot.

>This ironic because both great video game crashes were forced by too many consoles/systems and each of them trying to outcompete the other with exclusives.
Nah, they were forced by shovelware, and atari overproducing cartridges. Also the crash lasted like a year before the NES came out in the states, so it wasn't that much of a big deal. The european and japanese market were very different, too.

Oh no, he should have catered to your sophisticated trailer park tastes instead. How dare he?

Jack pls go
