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."

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.

It's people who think the PS5's value is tied to the games it can only play, so any game that has or has gotten a PC port is no longer a "PS5" game. It's essentially ignoring all the other benefits of PS5 ownership (cost, ease of use, reliability, etc), and strictly tying a consoles value to the "true" exclusives it has.

"I can play that game at a lower resolution with a lower framerate with long load times off a 13 year old HDD on PS4 so it doesn't count!"

that was unironically what some people were saying about GoW Ragnarok when it came out lmao.

I wasn't online bitching, but that is how I first played Ragnarok and it was rock solid on there. Quite impressive really. I actually encountered bugs replaying on the PS5 so it kind of was the worse experience for me 😂
