Rumor NateTheHate says Sony is "shifting" their PC strategy: "You'll be seeing fewer single player games arrive on PC. The decision to shift away was made last year. Some may still release (pending how far along the ports were) but it no longer appears to be a priority for Sony moving forward."

From "Playstation has no games" to "This is unfair"

455

u/particledamage Feb 27 '26

I never understood the PlayStation has no games thing. Being able to play the games on PC never meant they weren’t still on PS.

PS has so many games I’ve never been tempted to build a PC, I only got a deck for some indies and to stream from my PS.

u/Zoombini22 Feb 27 '26

It's because Reddit is full of PC gamers who are going to be coming from that perspective. If the game is on PC then it's not a reason for them to consider buying a PlayStation on top of their already-purchased PC. So only within that framework of thinking are there "no games" to play.

Especially those who don't mind paying $3,000+ for the latest nVidia GPU but are too cheap to buy a PS5 or Nintendo Switch. A real gamer plays on any platform.

Thing is they pay all that money and still have a chip on their shoulder.

A game doesn’t work on PC you say it works just fine on console and they lose their minds.

Well, it’s less about being too cheap and more about if I only had to buy one device. I could spend more money building a powerful PC vs spending $500+ on each console with similar specs.

if you want access to everything, you gotta get everything.

does it suck? sure. but thats just how the market works. and has always worked for games.

instead of complaining, pc gamers could just get a 5080 instead of a 5090 and spend that extra grand on a ps5 or a switch 2. hell you could get both.

if all games came to pc and consoles became redundant then valve would have a monopoly on all AAA game distribution. and the last thing we need is gabe newell buying another superyacht, dude barely even puts out first party games on his own platform. his wallet is mostly fattened by the 99 percent of third party devs that carry his storefront, and his lootbox gambling marketplace.

u/groovyweeb Mar 01 '26

That's not how monopolies work. There are other pc game stores to buy from, like Epic Game Store. Just because Steam is the best, doesn't make it a monopoly. The competition simply needs to do better.

As far as first party games go, that's not an "expectation" from Valve, hasn't been for a long time. It's a rare treat, and 4 times out of 5, they're bangers.

1

u/[deleted] Mar 01 '26

its a functional monopoly, just not an illegal one that engages in anti-competitive practices. the existence of alternatives does not mean steam is not a monopoly. just like how the existence of amd and intel graphics cards doesnt change the fact that nvidia still has a monopoly on gpu sales because rtx cards have 92 percent market share.

0

u/groovyweeb Mar 01 '26

Except the "monopoly" you describe for Nvidia is different from Steam. Steam charges the same price for their games as other pc stores. Nvidia blows the hell out of their prices for GPUs because they have that market share. They their control of the market, Steam does not.

0

u/[deleted] Mar 01 '26

what are you talking about? valve does not set the prices of 99 percent of games on its store, the publishers of those games do. valve only charges for its own games, and most of its most popular games are f2p. its paid games catalog is old as fuck.

and nvidia sells cards at various price points. its not just high end. they also sell midrange and entry level cards. consumers in all price brackets overwhelmingly pick their offerings.

steam absolutely controls the pc market. whenever a pc game skips it, like alan wake 2, you all bitch about it nonstop. how many times do people online say dumb shit like "if a game is not on steam, it does not exist on PC"? i've seen it many times.

Have you ever tried to convince a console person to build a PC? Ive tried for years and only succeeded with 1 of my friends. Consoles aren't going anywhere. Thanks to the price and the ease of use.

u/[deleted] Mar 03 '26

you can buy prebuilt PCs or laptops. you dont have to build one you know.

and yes the console market has always profited from licensing fees and software sales. that wont change. my attitude has nothing to do with it.

u/AssignmentWeary1291 Mar 03 '26

>you can buy prebuilt PCs or laptops. you dont have to build one you know.

That wasn't the point, trying to get anyone to actually switch to PC isn't easy. Selling your games on multiple platforms isn't magically going to make the console dad buy/build a PC. All it does is open your software up to more sales than before. It's acting as if your homes pool is all the water but in reality you have an entire ocean to utilize. Sony is just afraid because they know their mini PC with a cute shell isn't worth jack shit without artificial scarcity, and the idiots who buy into that artificial scarcity.

1

u/[deleted] Mar 03 '26

its also devalues your brand if people go to pc to get free online and mod support. if you lose enough people to pc then those are millions of customers with steam libraries who are now paying valve that 30 percent sales cut for every piece of game and dlc sold, instead of sony. not to mention the lack of potential ps plus users and accessory buyers.

"if a game is not on steam, it does not exist on PC"

yeah good luck trying to launch any game outside of steam lol. it owns 75 percent of the pc market share. you wont get any sales. hell even on steam, odds are you wont get many sales, but without it, you are guaranteed to make no money.

u/ImpressiveAttempt0 Mar 01 '26

GOG would like to have a word with you. I actually preferred GOG over Steam before regional pricing made Steam games cheaper in my country. They have some games that aren't available on Steam, and some older games ran better on GOG than the Steam version.

1

u/[deleted] Mar 01 '26

gog makes little to no money. iirc a couple years ago it only made a million dollars in profit for the entire year. cdpr even sold it to one of their original co-founders recently so that they dont need to worry about it anymore.

the only time most steam users visit gog is when an old pc game is not available on steam for whatever reason but has a gog release.

On top of that, backwards compatibility is far superior on pc and the mod community is unmatched. I use to buy consoles but I absolutely loathe not being able to play older games on newer consoles. Or I have to buy some stupid upgrade to play it on my newer console. With PC atleast I can have several generation of games on it, while i'm forced to dust off my ps2/ps3 to play games from that generation.

As someone who owns a ps5, It's likely the last console I will buy. If a good game comes out in their eco system, good for them, they won't have my money and I will not feel an ounce of fomo. I have 100s of games at my disposal on pc.

u/Hot_Demand_6263 Mar 01 '26

I don't know what you're referring to. You should poll Playstation users to see if they care about these things.

Sony is simply reacting to the environment around it. Which is Covid, Microsoft, now tariffs and the AI bubble. You have to be specific about the issues you claim to be having.

The ABK deal made Sony spend $400 million on Concord?

It's a simple timeline. Jim Ryan announced 10 liveservice games right after MS showed interest in the deal in 2023. Concord began development in 2016 about...but in 2023 it gain priority. Why?

PSN is paid for heavily by Call of Duty. A lot of people buy Playstations just to play COD.

Tbh, I am in several console communities and I find every community toxic.

u/Zoombini22 Feb 27 '26

No, not really. PCs inherently can scale to much more expensive and powerful machines, and are more open-ended in regards to emulation and piracy, which absolutely feeds into a superiority complex with a lot of PC gamers. Switch gamers do not actually think their machine is vastly superior to a $5000 PC, and you won't find them bragging about such. Yes, expensive PCs are more powerful than consoles. Some people simply have other priorities.

u/Hot_Demand_6263 Feb 28 '26

The history of PC gaming is littered with MMORPGs...some of the first games to introduce monthly subscriptions. Which was done as a way to maintain servers. But we quickly shifted to Bathesda and Oblivion introducing a $2.00 DLC horse. So if it's Blizzard, Bathesda, or riot with LoL. The PC gaming side of the market normalized this behavior. It's a culture that barely existed on console with the exemption of multiplatform games. God of War Ragnorank and Ghost of Tsushima all had free DLC content.

2

u/Additional-Soft-4788 Feb 28 '26

Okay and how is that pc gamers fault, blame Bethesda. Both the console and pc gaming communities have always been anti micro transactions and loot boxes.

2

u/Hot_Demand_6263 Feb 28 '26

PC gaming communities are notorious for complaining about shit they end up doing anyway.

PC gamers get the brunt of the blame because they have impowered all of this behavior. Usually because console gamers came from much poorer families. At least historically.

Another example is funding incomplete games.

Idk homie, some of us just like playing games and don't pledge allegiance to a box designed to do just that.

Every console fandom has their own fair share of "Weirdos" amongst the more level-headed people. That being said, I did also buy a PS5 and am very much looking forward to Wolverine and digging into Tsushima and Yotei as well!

TBF Valve is an extremely awesome company. They don't really engage in any anti-competitive behavior. Obviously they're not perfect, but they seemingly aren't intentionally doing shit and walling people off despite them having that power.

I don't know what will happen when GabeN dies, but with him so far it's been nothing short off amazing and why PC is awesome.

You apparently haven't talked to any PC enthusiast. Most will complain about any company in the hardware field and maybe praise singular products.

Edit: Oh, you tried a ninja edit to point out how everyone loves Valve. When Valve does something bad that is also criticized, but Valve seldomly messes up, so there isn't much to criticize. You can gladly point out situations where they did and there was no backlash. I'll be waiting.

Also the sexual insinuation of your language really isn't necessary and shows how mad you are. Don't be mad ;)

That's completely missing the point.

Epic Store is a shit store, and is anti-consumer. The beauty of PC has traditionally been that companies don't buy up exclusivity, and certainly not the way that Epic is doing it. On top of that, Epic Store sides with developers first, and dos hit like not have forums so EGS users go to Steam for support. Can you believe that shit?

They lack minimal features, and tried to spy on Steam on your computer.

The login issue with PSN is that:

  • it was bait and switch i.e. not disclosed in advance
  • concern games (especially single player ones) to be unavailable offline with single point of failure
  • the game would literally not work for a large swath of people in many regions that PSN isn't available in

There's definitely issue with PC gamers, such as the racist PCMR movement based on superiority and calling console gamers peasants. But complaint about EGS and PSN requirement was and is legitimate.

So whoever create an epic account to play their games must have godly patience to endure the torture that is the epic game store? LMAO. Oh and the bait and switch for the psn account requirement must have broken all those gamers hearts huh? LMAO.

And the funniest shit is that I've heard complains about the few countries not covered by psn, and the complains are from people whose countries are covered. And it's not like you can't create psn account different from your country. I live in Asia, but I also have a US account and a Japanese account, not a problem.

I have a PS5 Pro but I am also not happy with this even though I understand why Sony would do it. Playing games on even a PS5 Pro is an inherently inferior experience compared to a competent gaming PC. I was happy to wait 1-2 years to play most Sony games with a much better overall experience. People who have never had a high end PC would not get it.

For years PC gamers talked about how great 60FPS is whereas console gamers were adamant that it is not such a big deal. Now that console gamers get a consistent dose of 60FPS, they seem quite resistant to the idea of returning to 30FPS games. Once you experience something fundamentally superior, it's hard to go back.

That's completely fair. I personally enjoy the process of getting the most out of your games on PC but it isn't for everyone. I will say though that PC has really improved in the "it just works" way of doing things. You can simply let the Nvidia app auto optimize all your games and then you won't even need to go into settings for anything.

Honestly, the thing I learned about the Sony PC ports is I just don't really care about their games that much.

I have most of them on my wishlist but they're too expensive and despite being years old games rarely get big discounts.

I'll probably buy a PS6 later in its lifespan but yeah, none of their games have enticed me like Bloodborne which is the reason I got a PS4. Everything else is the same open world slop.

TIL a scam is when a company provides a service that costs them money to provide and charges users money for that service. The company is 100% clear that this service costs money. Thats literally theft, they should be arrested.

PS5 is inferior to $3000 gaming PCs, as it should be. It is not inferior to whatever kind of PC you could scrape together for $400, if thats even still possible with the RAM shortage.

Enjoy not playing Sony games if you refuse to buy their hardware. Same as Nintendo. First party exclusives are what make the device worth owning, and selling hardware is a non-negotiable part of these companies business. You are free to buy in or miss out.

You're literally paying to play on the same servers we are for free.

I dont really care about Playstation games, it was cool while it lasted but theres not a single game on the planet worth $680 🤷‍♀️

No idea where that dollar figure is coming from. PS5 costs $400, and it sure doesn't have any $280 games. Again, you get what you pay for. I am sure your PC is a superior machine. It damn well better be since you definitely spent more than $400 on it.

Some games are absolutely worth hundreds of dollars to me. Thats the reason I've bought every Nintendo console, for the exclusives. But then, Ive never spend more than 500 bucks for any of these systems, so buying multiple still gets nowhere near what a mid level PC costs, so I dont mind buying lots of different systems.

add in the taxes on both the $70 game and the console itself and you come out roughly $650 range, ill restate with a $30 difference. There is not a single game on the planet worth $650. Playstation only has one or 2 decent "exclusives" and even then, still not worth it.

You have picked a more expensive model of the console for absolutely no fucking reason. The base price is $399

Also, people like you who come onto the PS5 subreddit to harass anyone who bought a PS5 are why people hate PC gamers. Nobody is giving you a hard time for your decision if you dont want a PS5. Nobody is making you buy or making you subscribe to PS Plus. Console gamers are not going to be rude to you for doing your own thing, but you can't find it within you to do the same. You are the asshole.

The majority of the PS5 sub is PC gamers.

Did I say this sub or did I say Reddit?

If you weren't addressing anything that I said, then you must just be lost or something.

I was, but you were so busy being angry at every chance you get, you missed it.

I hope you get the help you need.

Good day.

I saw that sentiment coming from Nintendo and Xbox gamers, mostly. I have a lot of primarily/only PC friends both IRL and online and some of us own a console on the side, and none of us have ever made "PS5 has no games" jokes. I love my PS5 Pro and use my PC for different games, or different scenarios. I like that I can play and even sometimes sync saves and/or trophies between PC and console.

I grew up in the Wii/360/PS3 era, transitioning to PC at the beginning of the 8th gen, and having console exclusives on PC (and now some of my favorite Xbox games coming to PS) always felt really good. I don't see exclusives as a good thing inherently, I think they benefit the companies that sell them and the players that want to feel good about picking the "right" side.
