I waited so long for Horizon Zero Dawn that when it came out on PC I wasn’t really interested any more. Probably will pick it up someday, but it turns out you can get by just fine without PS exclusives.
I like that the whole article is based on another journalist’s hunch and speculation.
Refusing to release titles to the PC isn’t going to make me run out and purchase a console. There are tons of games on PC. My backlog is long enough that I can live happily without whatever kind of bullshit Nintendo, Sony, and Xbox are trying to peddle. Assuming I did care about a specific title, and it’s being gate locked by console exclusivity, I’ll fucking pirate it. Sony, Microslop, and Nintendo can all get fucked.
I’ve seen way too many times people getting a console because of an exclusive. Now the thing is, we are entering on a very dry hardware season where prices gone to shit (and yes consoles also increased prices), so does Sony really thinks people will be super willing to get an overpriced console on the current economy because of a single exclusive? Sounds like a losing strategy
Buy? Nah, they want you to rent or lease a PlayStation.
That’s great for you but this is a tried and true strategy. People buy dedicated DRM machines to get access to exclusive games all the time.
The answer could actually be much simpler. Last I checked horizon zero Dawn sold over 3 million units on steam which is nowhere near what they sold on PlayStation systems.
I wonder what the cost of porting a game that size is these days, because a few million copies may not be enough to float the endeavor.

This one actually bothers me because I was looking forward to Ghost of Yotei, but if Sony are still so allergic to making money, I guess I won’t give them any. Barely a handful of games from an entire generation is certainly not enough to make me buy an overpriced console.
Why? It’s even more generic Ubisoft The Game than what ubisoft has been doing…
Do you enjoy endless open world map markers?
People are allowed to like different things than you. You don’t need to be negative about it.
I haven’t played Yotei yet, but I loved Tsushima. The world was gorgeous and felt rather alive, the activities didn’t overstay their welcome for me, I loved the setting, characters, and plot.
I can believe they will try to reinstate PSN account requirements in their existing PC ports again, but I don’t see them losing a revenue stream. Unless Steam alters the deal themselves, that would be unbelievably stupid for Sony.
Cool, guess I’ll just emulate them for free then! I was getting kind of tired of giving Sony my money anyways.
Shit I guess I wont be paying them twice to play the same game on ps5 and then PC a year later.
Oh no, what will I do without shitty AAA titles?
Horizon games were killer though. Last Of Us were great, I hear.
Last of Us Part 1 and 2 are genuine masterpieces. Highly recommend!
I’m trying so hard to get into the first one but I’m so bad at stealth, it’s not going well
I normally don’t like stealth games really, or at least, I’m not good at them. Didn’t really impact my enjoyment of the games though.
Never played 2 but 1 is the most over hyped game in existence. The gameplay is mid as fuck and the “OMG story” is just B movie horror at best.
We’ll have to agree to disagree on that one friend.
Horizon is just yet another open world slop. Not even robo dinos make it palatable. Even the latest god of war was just so brain dead boring, the story wasn’t enough to make me keep playing.
I lived Horizon Zero Dawn. The story grabbed me and brought me on a wild ride of discovery and intrigue. I also enjoyed the second one though the mystery didn’t get me quite as much as the first. I will be happy to play the third one if it comes to PC and I guess I’ll skip it if not.
I never played TLOU1 or 2 because they came to PC too late.
I have really appreciated games coming to PC like GOD OF WAR, Horizon, and FF7 remake but if they never came to PC I would just have continued never playing them. And if the next installments don’t come to PC I won’t play them either
Watch an actual movie with real writers and actors instead of “playing” an interactive movie with shit writing and bad CGI that is only praised by internet philistines because they need their hobby to have cultural relevance very badly?
I’m pretty sure I don’t own, let alone have played, any of their titles in the past. Guess I’ll keep just doing that?
