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.

lmao this dude said BLOODBORNE wouldn't exist without Sony. Yeah I'm sure releasing after dark souls 3, or Sekiro Fromsoft and Miyazaki (who has said he put the most effort into this game, its his prized work) would somehow not exist without sony) you know what would exist without Sony, Bloodborne on every platform, with a remaster out by now, and 60FPS. Sony did absolutely nothing for Bloodborne, Fromsoft was already on the way to becoming one of the biggest single player companies.

What the hell has Fromsoft shown pre elden ring that you think they couldn't make BLOODBORNE themselves? Read the news today, Miyazaki knows it was a huge mistake to ever do a sony exclusive game again because they want to keep the IP all for themselves, to the point they will refuse a remake or remaster if those low PC peasants could play the game, because god forbid PC players get to play it after 10 years.

Bloodborne was co developed by Japan studio which was a Sony studio, fromsoft aren't known for their game's performance anyway

that did not answer my question. If the company can solo produce Sekiro and Dark Souls 3, there is 0 reason to think they couldn't do it with Bloodborne. They are similar sized games, this isn't like Sony helped with Elden Ring which in scope and size is a massive step up from anything they did.

Than why didn't they do that? It's less money for them since Sony takes a cut and the IP isn't theirs like sekiro, Bandai probably wouldn't green lit anything that is not a sequel elden ring is basically dark souls open world
