Sony acquires Nixxes, specialist in porting / optomizing console game to PC

Sony acquires Nixxes, specialist in porting / optomizing console game to PC

Remember the Tomb Raider optimizations for PC?, that was Nixxes. But also Days Gone, Horizon Zero Dawn and Predator Hunting Grounds on PC. Sony acquired the company Nixxes, a specialist in making console ports to PC.

For more than 20 years now, Nixxes has been in business, and their latest work includes PC games ports such as Deus Ex, Mankind Divided, Avengers and the Tomb Raider trilogy ports that are currently developing.

The takeover has been announced on Twitter: “I am delighted to announce that talented Dutch studio Nixxes Software will join Playstation Studios. It is a real pleasure to welcome a team with such deep technical skill and vast experience to the Playstation family."

Sony is working on an uncharted 4 PC port, and the company would like more ports to be launched because it helps increase its title revenues without adding a lot of development costs. Sony clearly stated that its next PC releases won't be available on Playstation on the launch day, but we'll have to wait for a while for their exclusivity to end. However, it seems we can play several more titles on PC if we have patience.

It was a very simple question man. You said Sony has an agenda, I gave two examples. Are these two the examples of the agenda? Like, yes or no? How is it so hard? You don't need to make a Youtube video after it.

At this point I'm bewildered if you're actually being genuine? I can't take you seriously because you followed the formula step by step, you literally did use the same tactics they all do, and did ignore what I said.

Why are we talking about those two games? Those are in-house developed and you gave examples of how they're censored and political yourself. If you want examples of how Sony has juvenile censorship forced into games you can either go to a channel which lists them out, or better yet, pick a game and look into what happened to that. And for bonus points look into what Sony's crackdown has been. You got me to look into it again, it's been back into overdrive from 2018 on it seems. Why do you want to avoid doing that if you're curious about how bad it's been?

And of course TLoU2 is an example of an agenda, Druckmann himself credits that parasite Sarkeesian as an influence, and presented her with an award. You do know who that grifter is right? She picks a hobby, says it's sexist, makes up a bunch of shit which makes no sense, declares it true and accurate with her source literally being other feminists mainly her own teachers, then demands companies give her money. She tried to even do a mafia shakedown with CDPR "That's a nice game you got there, it'd be a shame if I declared it problematic as I'm declaring your past work based on nothing, pay me": https://twitter.com/anitasarkeesian/status/1140137414381322240

Still not answering a simple question. What are the Sony games that have the "agenda"?

How did I not answer? I already said yes to those two, and yes even removing some "minigame with tits" is part of their policy, and all of the TLoU2 was an agenda filled shitfest. I'd be surprised if every single first party Sony title isn't built ground up that way.

Why do you not answer me? Why do you keep trying to be incredibly specific about irrelevant examples? Who gives a shit about even the agendas, they want to have agenda filled first party titles, that's one thing, going out of their way to restrict everything made outside of their grubby grasp is another.

You do realize Sony having a draconian censorship policy is not a theory and it was leaked a long time ago right?

You see, the examples are not irrelevant. Because if these are the examples, what you're claiming is full of shit. There is a lot of talk about "restriction", and there are a lot of shitty SJW things/games out there (the new Ghostbusters movie being a great example, btw), but I just don't see this in Sony games.
It's one thing to criticize bad art, it's another to parrot bullshit without a specific thing to say except generalities like "getting out of the way to restrict everything outside of their grubby grasp". Even the way you talk is like a paste from a Youtube video, this is equally pathetic.

I will stop here, it's not as if there is any hope to change your mind anyway.

I sound like the copy and paste? Says the guy following a formula, because it's all the same farce, you don't have a real argument and you already know everything I said it's true, that's why it ends up being formulaic and you all do the exact same steps, which especially includes ignoring what I say. Which you did again. Now that's pathetic.

Not only did you follow a formula step by step, you literally did what I said you'd do as dismissing the issues those have as nothing at all, when they are in fact censored and politically charged even by your own admission. How is this insane quest to remove anything female that's sexual not censorship and not an issue at all? How is a game disgusting as TLoU2 which oozes out cringe-left BS from beginning to end not an agenda? Why are you pretending you're not an SJW again?

And those are overall irrelevant examples and you used those garbage examples to try to lead to your "aha gotcha!" moment to say I'm full of crap, which is what you were going for from the start obviously. You know they're not much in the grand scheme. You didn't "get" anything, you just proved my point.

I've repeated over and over why don't you look into it since the information is widely available, and every single Japanese game released these days which Sony has control over has to be modified. But what does it matter? Even if I gave you an encyclopedia list of what's been censored and what's agenda filled you'd just dismiss it as "nothing/stupid/BS/idiotic" which is what you were going to do from the start. Again, part of the same strawman formula, it all converges into the same dumb steps when there is no real argument to be made.

TL;DR - Sony have widely known draconian censorship policies which were leaked, and they're juvenile trash. That's my main point and you're wandering off into la-la land trying to play word games until you can say "aha!".

Any form of censorship in these games in this day and age is juvenile especially when they already have been approved and given ratings, which they all have, the "Sony check" as it's known comes even after games are approved by ratings boards. As if rating boards for video games weren't trash to begin with. If you think it's good, which you clearly do due to your self proclaimed allergy to breasts, you are pro censorship. Frack Sony's first party agenda filled titles, fuck Niel Druckmann and everything he makes, and fuck anyone who thinks this juvenile quest to eat away at the souls of games and dumb them down or turn them into propaganda is okay.

Why the hell did I waste my time when I knew what you were doing from the start? Step by step, everything I said.
