He only says they take a more strategic approach when it comes to single player game.

If they are already comfortable with releasing PC ports to close to PS5 releases, wait till they find out there is a thing called Denuvo.

All PlayStation day one games on PC are inevitable, specially since the pivot to GaaS is already well under way, there are hardly any single player only studios left.

If Sony management had brains, they would release Bloodborne and demon souls on PC and make millions of dollars.

But instead they decided to port over Sackboy, which flopped hard

That one I never figured out. Demon's Souls, Bloodborne, GT and even Dreams always made way more sense as PC ports than most of the single player games they decided to port including stuff that made zero sense like Sackboy, HFW and R&C.

It might just be that Sony is actually stupid enought to not realize that the games that apeal to the PC audience are not the same games that apeal to the console audience.

Then again, it's the same company that think it makes sense to not put Denuvo on their single player only AAA games.

Cancel Ragnarok and delete Horizon from Steam. No Spider-Man 2 (official release) on PC, right Helmut?

Releasing the crown jewels to Pee Cee pirates? I don't think so... Keep them in the vault

Do you actually think that is how they think? You think they value Bloodborne and Demon's Souls more than God of War and Spider-man? They probably don't even care enough to make the ports because they think they'll flop.

Bloodborne on PC is needed that way we can mod it to 4k and 60fps, Since Sony refuses to update it themselves.

The fans often do a better job than developers themselves

I think they know Bloodborne and Demon Souls will sell on PC especially the former. They are keeping them for last. I do think they have future plans for Bloodborne so they might give it the Until Dawn treatment and finally give it to PC

Sony don't got nobody to touch that code currently lol. And they aren't gonna give y'all an update. They will remake it and charge $70... That is the plan

Sadly that is probably it, I would much rather just get a 60fps remaster on PS5, PlayStation players getting subjected to all these needless remakes instead of new games because of PC.

I don't think TLoU Pt1 and Until Dawn remake would exist without their PC push. There are probably more absurd and unnecessary remakes on the way.

Bloodborne will come to pc 4 years after the remake. Sony ain't going to reward pc players now and give nothing to their user base. What do you think they are, xbox? Lol

Funny, PlayStation gamers aren't benefiting at all from this, but PC gamers can play online for free and sometimes buy cheaper
We doing this again? Honestly I prefer paying for online then having to buy parts in the thousands just to run a game.
