I repeat. Your PC exclusives are garbage shovelware.

This isn’t 1998.
I'm still waiting for you to say something half-decent.

>This isn’t 1998.
Replying to a guy saying PC could run the entirety back catalogue of Sony. 0 sense.

But we always have guys here whiking that is PC players get Sony exclusives and valve doesn't release half life alyx (VR Killer app) and CS2 on PS.

Just look at all the effort Sony is making to have a successful GaaS. Valve alone has 2. Id love them to release half life 3 or a new great SP IP but CS and Dota make more money for them.

Honestly had enough of this discussion.

Remember guys.

These Steam warriors here will make every excuse under the sun saying why they are against this but there is only one real reason.

It is a Playstation account they need to sign in.

Classic platform warring. How dare they ask me to use a Playstation account on my PC/Steam Rig.

Have no issue begging for Playstation games though. Their self respect vanishes then.

People will get refunds if the PSN thing doesn't reverted. just watch.
So that's what I am saying genius get the refund and move on, you guys say that you have soo many games to play on PC so go play them. This whining and pining is just pathetic, Sony will still continue to exist with or without the steam chump change and those who want to play it on steam will make a PSN account. For those who don't the exit door is there and you can walk away.

I have a PS Account I used to try ps now. Sony's login UI looked like something from 2003 with that big black Sony banner on top.

The first post I made before everything escalated was "It doesn't seem like a big deal" or something like that, you can look it up.

As long as I don't have to buy a console I am fine with creating 20 accounts for different storefronts. Hell I only play on PC and have like 6 storefronts pinned to my taskbar for easy access. I use GOG or playnite to keep track of my game collection.

Steam is ideal but not a deal breaker. Hell if all sony games released on EGS going forward I wouldn't mind.

It's about the games reaching the HW of choice to me. Not Hail GaBeN or anything. I don't agree with steam Taliban's in many things.

Who the fuck is shitting on Sony for no reason? We wouldn't be talking about them if it wasn't for their braindead PSN thing.

Again with "predominantly PlayStation oriented forum".

Can a mod confirm whether I'm allowed to use this website without liking Sony? @Sircaw

It's like you are trapped in a corner and all you can do is: "hey you, stop using this website unless you gonna shell for sony"
Everyone is welcome to use this site, regardless of what platform they like, use, or support.

I understand there is a lot of passion about in which platforms people prefer, but people need to try to be more respectful and tolerant of people who have different views from them.

Keep it civil, please, people.

Do you all think Sony will backtrack on this?
There is no need to backtrack, they just have to release a trailer for the next santa monica game and it will be back to business as usual. Their core consumer base on PS doesn't care about this and the steam users are not worth caring about. I just hope they learn the right lessons and cancel the ragnarok and spiderman 2 ports as well as not launch Concord on steam

Come on now, close to 50%, if not more, of the game's userbase is on PC. That comes from the developers themselves. Let's stick to facts. This isn't one of their PS games that sell a million on PC.

I only see two possibilities for this story: Sony gives up on this idea and basically ends their idea of an exclusive Launcher, or they continue with this idea and wait for all this to pass, just like in all similar cases

I honestly think they won't.

Rockstar launcher gets a pass because people love rdr2 for some reason.
Imagine if Bloodborne remaster required PSN on pc lol

Anyway - everything is hated, boycotted and negatively reviewed recently. Stellar blade got 2 changed outfits which are still super sexy... and got 73 more outfits lol. Most MUCH more revealing. And yet we had a drama about nothing. It's just toxic community of gamers these days

Yeah I agree if the microtransactions brought any money lol, Helldivers 2 has piss poor mtx integration and won't ever bring in the cash a GTA 5 or fortnite does. They sold about 5 million copies on steam that is 200 million max and taking out steams cut it rounds up to about 160 million. There is no need to bend the knee for this amount of chump change in the grand scheme of things, if the game brought in truckloads of mtx there would be a case for backtracking but cheapskates on steam hardly buy the warbonds

People are always more tolerant of what they love. Just see how many games are criticized for reusing textures and enemies, but Elden Ring, being from FromSoftware, gets a green pass for this.
