Xbox has had trouble finding its footing during this console generation, and the recent decisions made by Microsoft made the future more questionable. The higher-ups have decided to share first-party titles with rival platforms, and not everyone is a fan of this shift in tone.
The gaming community may seem like it is stuck in the old ways where there was a division between major companies like Microsoft, Sony, and Nintendo, but the world is changing. There are a few advantages and disadvantages to exclusivity, and one supporter has had enough.
Xbox Enthusiast Threw Water on the Porting Naysayers
Microsoft has made some creative decisions regarding the future of its gaming platform that involve porting first-party titles to rival platforms, and it wasn’t long ago whenParris Lilly was upset about the timed exclusivity ofFinal Fantasy 7 Rebirthon the PlayStation 5, leaving the competition with nothing to show for.
Change can be scary, especially if it is going to deviate from a tradition that has been around for decades. Phil Spencer believes video games should be played on any console a player has available regardless of platform and is pushing to abolish the idea of exclusivity, and not everyone is fond of it.

Initially, Spencer promised only four first-party titles to be shipped to competitors, but the gaming community has caught on tohis inconsistent statementsand is worried for the future of the Microsoft platform.

There is nothing wrong with porting, but it could decrease the value of a certain console knowing a game can run and perform better on rival hardware.Sea of Thievesis the perfect example where it earned a higher review score on the PS5compared to the native hardware.
PlayStation Is Taking More Than It Is Giving at This Point
There is no telling what Spencer’s master plan or vision for the future of gaming will be, but the fans are not on board just yet. Lilly is doing everything to calm the naysayers and is encouraging them to enjoy what lies ahead and not to worry about everything.

Games that can be played anywhere regardless of console of choice will make things more complicated.Nintendo and Sony are about to receive a bunch of new games, but Microsoft is being left out again. Users on that platform will have no choice but to pick up a different console to play these games, which is counterintuitive to Spencer’s vision.
First-party exclusives may not be Microsoft’s strongest suit, and its generosity might cost it greatly. Lilly is being optimistic about the future of games, and it could be wise to follow his philosophy and to avoid fighting change.
