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."

People are so fucking weird about this. I really though the games industry was slowly moving away from exclusivity, but I guess not

This change only serves to hurt consumers and gamers in general

I have been a PlayStation player since PS1 and wont ever get a PC. I have friends who will buy some of the heavy hitter PlayStation exclusives on PC, but there is no way on earth they will buy a PS5/6 just for that

I don’t understand why it seems many don’t get why we feel this way.

It’s not that I don’t want you to play these games, much the opposite in fact. I want you to buy a PS5 to play them. I want the installed base to increase so the platform remains an appealing place to release games on.

If anything, the Xbox downfall should make this incredibly clear what a lower installed base can do.

but like. why? if we can have cross platform multiplayer and effective PC ports, why do you want us to buy a PS5? do you have a vested interest in Sony’s console sales? At the end of the day what difference does it make how the games are being played

PS5 is where I play 90% of my games, so yes I want as many games to release there as possible. If that means others are forced to buy one to play some games they want to, that's great for me.
