Jimbo turned out to be the real deal unlike somebody else.
This is the sort of stuff you want to hear before a showcase.

Seems like Jim Ryan thinks PC releases should be staggered 2-3 years after the original release.

PC mustard beggar race in shambles.
I love that he calls out the importance of PS5 exclusives.

2 years seems a good approach. Although I am always getting the impression that modern Sony seems to forget everything done before HZD, both for PC and console users.
Couldn't care less about the latest games, I am more interested in the back catalog that has to be played in a PS3/buggy emulator or a sub par streaming service.

Finally, he is beginning to see some sense. I hope he follows through on this.
3 years minimum IMO. Generally I'd like the generation nearly over by the time a port is being thought about.
I don't think my voice gets through much to him...or many of the other people I speak with online.
Maybe his hearing is selective. Cause he would definitely be hearing people saying they don't want PC ports at all.
So Sony is increasing the time gap for PC ports like EVERYBODY already pointed that is the best business decision.
Some Xbox fans using the PCMR shield will be crying now that their predictions that Sony will more to near day one releases turned out false.
PC Ports in 2-3 years after release was always the logical sense in any way you look at it.
Only some Live Service games (and not all) will beneficiate with day one releases on PC.
For now only 2 games broke the 2 years rule:
LBP Big Adventure: 1 year, 11 months, 15 days
Returnal: 1 year, 9 months, 16 days
From these Returnal is the except that validate the rule while LBP was so close to 2 years that it was probably choose that date to release before Black Friday in November.

It looks like they are taking a different stance now that supply is not a big issue, now they actually benefit from turning on the PS5 hype.
I believe they should only work with previous generation games on PC near the release of sequel/spin-off on PS5.
That is what makes more business sense.
For exemple.
Let's say they announce TLOU3 exclusive to PS5 to release in Holiday 2024.
PC TLOU2 port should release around mid of year in 2024 to hype up people before TLOU3 on PS5.
It is really good marketing and they did with some games already... Horizon, GoW, Niche-man, etc.
When I said previous generation I mean work with PC ports of PS4 games for now and after some years or even when we are near PS6 start to work on PC ports of PS5 games.
PCMR won't bother because they build top end PC to play old games anyway.
He definitely heard the complaints of sony fans. Xbots looking stupid right now 
Xbots already throwing a party because of PSVR2 potentially not being very successful, what a bunch of wankers. They are so salty that they root against some of the most exciting areas of gaming just because they don't have it.
Me and you always agree on PC ports. Hopefully the time only gets longer and longer. 3 years should be the minimum. 2 if the game completely bombed on PS5 for some reason and they need to recoup costs.
Xbox fanatics, which are pretty much a cult, don't care about quality, nor they care about games. They care about seeing Sony fail at every cost. These people are absolute lunatics.
The face of a man who knows that he just blocked the biggest gaming acquisition in history
Lol, you beat me to it. I guess we both follow Puertorock77 since he was making fun of that post.
That tracks.
