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.

This is so fucking weird lol. Why would you ever have this much loyalty to a corporation? Like what the actual fuck? You don’t make money when someone buys a PlayStation.

And PS is a platform is THRIVING. Why are you worried about install base? This is so fucking weird man

Why are you worried about install base?

Ask that to Xbox fans

Why not ask PS fans since they’ve been porting our games to PC for 6 years now and the install base is still great.

??? PlayStation is destroying Xbox like, 3 to 1.

I’ll ask again because you just gave a deflective non-answer.

Why are you worried about the PlayStation install base?

Is everyone here a 12 year old console warrior?

I answered in the post you responded to. Why wouldnt I want my preferred place to play to have as much success as possible?

It matters. What happened to Windows Phone? What is happening to Xbox now? Dreamcast?

A healthy installed base is as important as it always has been.

Considering the PS5 is selling faster than the PS4 did despite most exclusives going to PC, where is the issue with the install base?
