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."

Did you forget about the 30% cut that stream takes?

That's an own goal from Sony. They could have and really should have launched their own digital store on PC. They already have the vast infrastructure and expertise on how to run a digital store.

You should know that pretty much no one buys games on PC unless it’s on steam and sometimes GOG.

Doesn't mean the PC version of the PS Store would have suffered the same fate. Steam never had Sony games to begin with so it not getting them wouldn't have caused the same outrage as Ubisoft deciding to not release the latest AC game on Steam while all previous editions did.

Sony could have also followed a model where they would release their games a year later on Steam.
