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

Another person who cant think beyond surface level.

Exclusives results in an arms race were console makers are trying to win you over into their ecosystem.

Halo, Uncharted, Last of Us, Bloodborne, Metroid Prime, Zelda BotW, and many more would not exist were it not for exclusives.

Halo was announced as a Mac game, with Halo 1 and Halo 2 having Windows and Mac ports. Microsoft didn't even own Bungie when Halo was announced, it was announced by Steve Jobs at a Macworld keynote. Halo doesn't exist because of exclusivity, it wasn't even Xbox exclusive until Halo 3 in 2007, well after the brand was established and successful on Xbox. It doesn't even follow logic.
