Sony saw the RnD cost for the PS6 and probably got spooked about the idea of people just playing their games on PC instead.

So the first few years of PS6 they will probably keep exclusives to sell whatever overpriced junk hardware they push out but eventually they will go back to PC. All it would it take is one bad financial quarter of any kind and that could be enough for shareholders to push them back in the PC space. Growth is too important to these corporate clowns. The suits will obey.

So I think everything that has been announced (Yotei, Saros, God of War remakes, Wolverine) will come to PC including the new Kojima IP.

The Naughty Dog game will probably be the first PS5/6 only.

And whatever other launch window PS6 only games will be perma exclusive like Demon Souls was for PS5. They will definitely have PS6 only games too to sell the hardware even tho PS5 would handle them just fine.

But a few years later they will come crawling back. They are gonna need that audience because the PS6 will be like 700-800$ and the games 70-80$. Eventually they will suffer a massive software flop along the way and they will need to recoup revenue somewhere else. The PC port money is still the easiest low effort $$$ they can make.

Ill just post this again but Jeff Vogel talks about it as an independent developer before steam even existed and a lot of modern tools to help streamline purchasing stuff even online. Like you calling a number in a magazine or sending a check in the mail and mailing out floppies or disks type shit on top of everything else. Not to mention attempting to keep up with the modernizing of stuff that steam/valve just "gives away for free" or handles all of it with you essentially not having to do anything

It's really just stupid. It's like the fucking headline or article I saw saying that 40% of people surveyed had no idea that Lays chips were made out of potatoes.

I slept and woke up to 2 pages of discussions about Sony leaving PC :neutral-face:

I only bought 1 Sony PC offering - Days Gone. It was cheap enough and I wanted to try a AAA zombie game, so I got it and fired it up. But after a few hours, it bored me to tears.

Sony likely thought that their games are special and people would treat them as darlings, so they launch these games at full price on PC. But the truth is that they are not good / enticing enough to warrant the price tag. Only late ports of GTA6 and some (not all) Nintendo games can sell well with this strategy. Combined with performance issues at launch, I bet their PC initiative isn't as successful as they internally expected.

But retreating from PC because they don't make as much money as they expected? It's in line with what they did with their GaaS games - not selling good enough? Axe the fucking thing. Don't save it. They dismiss the fact that many things are salvageable. Hell, even Fallout 76 and Overwatch (2) can turn around. If you treasure the players and make good (better) products, people will notice and money will follow.

And good luck with that. Console exclusives won't make these games, suddenly, more valuable if they are not good enough. They will be crawling back to PC in a few years.

I seriously doubt they'll be a single PS6 exclusive during the first few years of the PS6's life - from Sony or outside Sony. No way they abandon the PS5 userbase anytime soon, especially if the PS6 basically becomes a luxury product due to component prices.

I don't understand this. Blizzard adds the Ubisoft Connect versions of Diablo 1, Diablo 1 expansion, and Blizzard Arcade Collection to GeForce Now, but not the actual Battle.net versions. Why?!? I own Blizzard Arcade Collection on Battle.net, but can't play it through the service if I wanted to because of this.

I think this has to do with the fact that Ubisoft secured the streaming rights for all ABK games during the merger process
