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...
Now my backlog of games that should be shrinking is only going to grow by 10% next year instead of 12% like it could have!
The tech companies haven’t driven me to the point of utter contempt for consoles like they have for phones, but at the same time I have multiple PCs and more games than I will ever play.
They’ll be seeing none of my money then. Maybe if I ever bother to play them it’ll be for free on an emulator years from now, but honestly, I have a massive backlog of amazing games to play so it might not even be worth the effort. I bought most of their PC releases too. Oh well.
So just their exclusives which they barely make anymore. I can buy used for the 2.5 games Sony themselves makes per generation now when they aren’t failing to trend chase a whaling game genre.
Yeah, but the sad part is the games and the people who made them will get the short end of this stupid decision. The dipshit executives will see poor sales for such and such game and decide people didn’t like the game, rather than that their dipshit decision drove away customers. Best case they decide to meddle harder in future releases, further enshitifying their games and hurting game developers.

They’ll be seeing fewer sales from PC players.
Thank you so much! Less games to add to my pile of shame.

Please FromSoftware goes to PC primarily!
Their loss. I won’t buy a PS5 or later anyway.
console wars are on again, but Valve will crush Sony.
They don’t stand a chance. (*)
(*) Sorry Valve i just doomed you, my predictions are always wrong,.
Future headline - “K shaped economy for gaming industry. How indie gaming won the market and AAA bites the dust.”
LOL, I haven’t bought a Sony product since the PSP. Don’t threaten me with a good time, jackass.
Oh well, im still moving to PC. Im sick of missing out on mods.
Oh no, but the PC has no games

Hey Sony, you know what’s going to happen?
People are just not gonna play those games instead of buying a PS5 to play them.
Congrats on setting your money on fire.
Sony’s strategy has been all over the place. This should have been the stance at the launch of PS5, if anything, not now.
