    Guess I’ll have to limit myself to the 10,000 other games to play on PC, then.

    Sony seems to be completely out of touch with the reality. During the time when the console prices have skyrocketed to the point it’s no longer an option for entire segment of the population, they decide that it’s right time to go back to console exclusive games? It also baffles me that there are fully grown men that are actually celebrating the return of console exclusives. What a bizarre tribalism at work here. I think I’m just going to slowly work through my back catalog until some semblance of sanity returns.

      He is serving his function. Sony is gripping their platform with both hands, after nearly letting it slip away. The future presented by Helldivers 2 and various Spider-Mans is one where Sony’s a relatively large publisher for several important studios. The future where they deny reality and cosplay the 90s console war for another decade is one where they are the biggest fish in a small pond, and that makes more money, somehow.

      I’m unclear how that will play out if Microsoft simply declines to release another Xbox.

    We’ll see. None of these games ever had day 1 releases on PC. The next mainline God of War and Horizon games aren’t even announced, so things may change by then.

    I don’t get it. If they want to increase PlayStation Plus subscriptions, they should limit the multiplayer games they port to PC. The last time I bought a console for a single player game was Final Fantasy 7 back in 1997.

      Well aside, it’s surprising nothing on PS2 tempted you. Several tentpole titles did famously get PC ports, but if you’re more about Kingdom Hearts than GTA, that machine was like $150 by 2004.
