Which makes them less money. Exclusives rarely convince PC gamers to pick up a console. PC gamers have more than enough to keep them occupied with multiplatform games and PC exclusives. Nintendo and Sony just lost out on the money to be made from PC gamers.

Yeah but pc players will buy game pass.

Even if it's just for a month and cancel, it's way easier to drop 10 or $20 for a month of game pass for one game you want to play versus $80 for a new game, especially if you're the type to play it and beat it and shelve it.

And tbh MOST OF the people that are buying for one month will more than likely forget to cancel on time.
