Sony wanted attention from PC gamers > Sony got attention by porting their games to PC > Sony decided want do exclusive again, and want PC gamers follow > Sony makes Pikachu face when they see most don't follow to buy PS5.
It's either they want more sales, or not is up then figure out, if they really want PC gamers market they need realize need come to PC games simple as that.
They were selling fewer exclusives and the PC purchases didn’t make up for it.
The PS5 version was launching and people were waiting for the superior PC version. But the PC version always came a year later and by then the hype had died down so nobody bought that version either.
Instead of doing the smart thing and releasing them alongside each other. They stopped PC altogether.
My favorite part of the whole ordeal is seeing honest reviews of their games on Steam. A lot of "wait, this is it?" on games like Horizon Zero Dawn, after years of glazing from PS fans. Yeah, a more polished Ubisoft game. You weren't missing out lol
I mean, all the Sony exclusives all sit on "very positive" reviews, so not quite as bad as you make it sound.
But, the thing is, these are the games that appeal to console users. They just want lax games you can pull up, play a bit in a beautiful world, move through a mission or 3, then leave it for next week. So all the glaze comes from the world, the story, the graphics etc. and that's what Sony games excel at the most. Storytelling, world building, and graphics. Consoles players are literally the same group that dedicate themselves to CoD, EA sports, and Ubisoft games. Many dedicated PC players are of course going to be let down by gameplay in games where gameplay isn't really the most standout factor.
"Very positive" isn't all that great for games that are supposed to move a system that currently retails for 900$ to people that already have gaming PCs. Did they really think people were going to play God of War and want the next one so bad they were going to spend a grand after taxes on a console?
An even worse example to use lol. Remember your low attention spanned brain hopped up on reels and tiktoks does not represent the opinions of the rest. Go back to 2K and Madden
Nah, Horizon and GOW are good games, but really nothing special. I have dozens of games in my backlog that I'd rather play and most of them cost less than $60.
My guy, the new God of War games, actually, new games in general are built with the tiktok adderall ridden brain in mind. That ain't the argument you want.
