We recently reported on news that Sony will all but stop releasing PC ports of its single-player games on PC, and while those previous reports were from Jason Schreier, a journalist previously shown to have reputable insider sources, another insider has corroborated these claims, adding additional c...
As someone who played them all voraciously on PS5 then downloaded their repacks once they became available to mod the fuck out of them to give them new life to me, this hurts a lot.
Buddy I barely have enough money for food and rent, last thing I’m doing is spending money to play the same single player game twice. Sony know computer players have steam and are frugal, that is why they are okay with abandoning the market while the going is tough for the average working class denizen of Earth. God knows they were never getting my money twice and so did Sony.
PS what are you trying to accomplish with this comment? Is it fun to just openly shill for capitalism?
I don’t know what you’re referring to, but it sounds like you’re saying PC games are all online and PS has the only story games. Is that right?
If that is what you’re saying, you couldn’t be more wrong. All the CRPGs are on PC, for example. We have more exclusives than any other platform (not saying exclusives are good, just that PC is easier to make and distribute for). The best offline games are arguably (without much debate) on PC.
The only ones I was remotely interested we’re Demons souls remake (which never came to PC) and Bloodborne remake (which never happened in the first place). For the rest of Sony games I gave most of them a fair shot but none of them made me think “wow, this was a must play”.
Returnal came to PC. Honestly, I think it looks cool but I didn’t care for it. Everything it did, except for graphics, has been done better by indies. It felt pretty bland in my opinion, but probably pretty unique if you only play AAA.
I’ve found that most of their games are overpriced and take years to lose their value, as well as being more demanding of hardware then their image quality suggests. Still, a shame to lose a publisher doing AAA single player games that aren’t live service slop.

Went decades without them. Didn’t really play the ones that did become available… No loss as far as I’m concerned.

Don’t worry, this is not the first time they’ve done this. They’ll be back.
They released Lego Horizon on Nintendo Switch. Marathon will even come to Xbox.
So you paid for them on PS5 but pirated them on PC? Great job telling Sony you don’t want PC versions.

Yeah, I unlike the OP don’t like online games. I love story not just randomly shooting at things.

Returnal is very good. Otherwise, Meh

PS makes pretty much all my favorite PC games so that’s unfortunate for me.

Which of their games don’t run well on 8-year old mid range hardware? The last of us remakes built for ps5?
