@Anvold @Anvold I don't know, wouldn't it be nice if you didn't have to buy a Switch to play SMT5? You want things to stay this way to justify your purchase? I understand why Sony or Nintendo may want games to stay exclusive to their platform, and to me as a gamer it makes sense that they do that with their first party games, as they invest good money on making top notch games that create value for the platform and for gamers. But paying a developer not to release their game elsewhere is a sh...y practice if you asked me, and no gamer in their right mind (fanboyism is a mental illness) should be in favour of that.
I think Atlus and Sega should be embarassed by the way they managed communication on this.
First they say it is not going to happen, then they send out surveys asking whether we want P5 on Switch, among other ports of previous entries the Internet has been asking for forever.
Now they say keep asking, which is honestly both ridiculous and offensive.
I do not buy the theory there is a deal with Sony to keep this exclusive to PS4, and if there was it was time exclusivity, otherwise they would be mad to send out surveys asking it we are interested in a P5 port to switch. It honestly blows my mind they need to ask.
They should sort out their internal communication, it seems obvious to me this is a communcation/decision making issue between the Japanase and American branches: dumping this confusion on the customers is simply unprofessional.
The only way they could make this worse is finally release on Switch a port of the original instead of Royal.
How is it surprising that Royal did not perform well on PS4 in Japan after the people who, like me, played the original on PS4 put in over 100 hours? The game, whilst good, clearly outstays it's welcome and does not respect the player's time. The only way they can hope to meet their sale expectations is put it on a new platform.
