How long will outriders be on game pass10/12/2023 ![]() Let’s get one thing out of the way: I’m the editor-in-chief for a PlayStation enthusiast site. Watch From Bedrooms to Billions: The PlayStation Revolution to get enlightened on that subject. It comes from pushing the boundaries beyond what anyone else was doing at the time. The very origin of PlayStation comes out of just trying to make the best platform possible for developers and players. Think about it this way: We wouldn’t even have PlayStation if Sony hadn’t made the kinds of bold and brazen moves that Microsoft is making today. But business is also about growth, evolution, and challenging the status quo. And Sony and Microsoft are competitors, to an extent. ![]() Sure, business is competition, to some degree. The corporations that fanboys go to war for don’t want or need the kind of toxicity that tends to fester on the fanboy battlefields. In fact, there’s really not a console war even happening on the corporate level. ![]() The truth at the top is a bit more nuanced. The console wars are fought in the trenches by fanboys vehemently and blindly defending their positions for General Sony and Sergeant Microsoft. But no matter which “side” of things you fall on, Microsoft’s aggressive moves can arguably be seen as a good thing (even if technically the monopolization/Disneyfication of the industry is a whole different subject to be discussed far beyond the context of the “console wars” as most fanboys know them). With today’s news that Outriders is coming to Game Pass on day one, and last week’s revelations about Bethesda games likely being mostly exclusives now that Microsoft owns that swath of studios, there’s been an uproar from fanboys on both sides, shaking their spears at one another.
