ST. LOUIS — A loving, devoted Sony fanboy is facing emotional strife as he has recently discovered that his favorite PlayStation exclusive isn’t as exclusive as he was made to believe.
Mike Barone, a hardcore Sony fanboy, recently walked in on his roommate playing Spider-Man (2018) on the Steam Deck and hasn’t taken the discovery well.
“It’s like the word ‘exclusive’ means nothing to anybody now. What about me? What about my loyalty,” Barone said in a statement on ResetEra. “I’ve been here through the worst. I watched others leave me. Grand Theft Auto, Final Fantasy, Metal Gear Solid, and now you’re telling me the first-party games are fooling around on me too?”
Mike’s roommates tried to talk some sense into him.
“I paused my game and tried to reason with Mike through the door, sharing data that showed PC versions of his exclusives would bring in a bigger audience and this eventually paving the way for more sequels and exclusives. He just wouldn’t listen,” said his roommate Josh
“These PlayStation cornerstone series just hop around from screen to screen. I’ve never been someone who cares about a game’s body count, but Steam? Marvel’s Spider-Man is running around behind my back with Steam, Steam can have any game they want, but not my exclusives.” said Barone
Mike’s other roommate and Xbox fanboy Glenn understands his pain.
“Mike and I have been at odds since Insomniac made Sunset Overdrive, but I understand where his head is at,” Glenn said. “I’ve had to share my exclusives with others for almost an entire console generation. The good, the bad, and the Starfield. I think we just got to appreciate the times we have with exclusives and make time for those who are still loyal to us.”
At Press time, Mike has locked himself in his room, and Glenn was attempting to lure him out by sliding a copy of Bloodborne under the door.
