What you don't get is I'm also "PC people", I know what I'm talking about when it comes to PC. Sony entire GaaS/PC strategy is them digging their own grave.AAA games take now more time and people to be made, this is why every single AAA team takes more time to release games than before, including Insomniac (even if they have a lot of devs so can afford to work in multiple games at the same time, unlike other AAA studios). And not only from Sony, from all companies.
AAA games for all companies are also way more expensive every new generation, so they become safer trying to minimize risks. To make sequels of their biggest hits it's the safest position, but Sony instead decided a very risky move: to bet the half on new IP, something that no other big publisher -specially platform holders- does.
This is your personal opinion, the number of games announced under development when launched is way bigger than it was for PSVR1 and included bigger brands than for PSVR1.
Some games sell well, and some games don't, like in any company or in any platform. The difference is that in Steam we can make a more decent sales estimate than in other platforms.
Also, I'd suggest to wait and judge PC ports performance in long term instead of a few days/weeks after launch, because specially in PC people many buys with discounts or price cuts, and in many cases the Sony PC ports are almost full priced ports of games originally released several years ago, so I assume many people may be interested in a game but may wait until discounted/price cutted until certain level.
My arguments come down to what Sony says, what Sony does, market numbers, known sales or number of awards etc because that is measurable factual data, verifiable facts, to try to show or explain reality with facts instead of baseless/biased personal opinion.
Same here, but I don't attack others because they don't agree what I say.
These AAA single player games don't appeal to PC audience at all and are way too vulnerable to piracy. The answer is obviously GaaS like Sony is figured out, but you don't win the battle for GaaS mind share with the qualities that Sony has.
We haven't actually seen any of that. At most I can give you credit on Housemarque making AAA games but even that is a bit of a stretch.to be fair to the guy you might want to edit this lol
Housemarque make AAA games now. Returnal
Bluepoint are doing more than remakes
Firesprite are doing more than VR
As for the rest, lets not fall for the same trap of Phil Spencer truthers and blade his predecessor for everything. If he can't be blamed for any of those decisions he also can't get credit for pretty much anything done so far (that makes things even worse for him because what is coming looks worse than what we had so far).
We knows from Shawn Layden that someone in his position have a say in these deals and the deals Herman made so far paint a clear picture.
