I want Sony to release a launcher on PC |UP| Sony should buy Valve and turn Steam into PS PC Launcher.

[Old Gamer]

I got a PS5 recently and wanted to gift a dear friend of mine Dark Souls 1, he only plays on PlayStation, but oops, no gifting System. Also, the first thing I had to do after buying the thing was to pay more for an online subscription. lol

This whole time I didn't want to say anything about console-only players, but you guys really should look into PC maybe with the ultimate freedom there.

I don't think there's any use talking to the OP about this though, as his mind is made up already. But not only that, he thinks Epic Store and Ubisoft are better than Steam, lol

So much bullshit, I can't even.

1) You DO NOT NEED PS+ TO USE A PS5. In fact, you don't even need a PSN account to play single player games, you can use it completely offline. Physical games are a thing, you know?

2) Speaking of physical games, that's how I gift games to my friends - or borrow them. I buy a disc with the game in it and pass it along. You PC/digital zealots are something else. "Gifting system" LOL. Ever heard of physical gifts?

3) "Ultimate freedom" with always online DRM and Denuvo fucking up your games performance. Unless you are sailing the High Seas, of course...

4) Epic Store, Ubisoft, Steam, etc. Hell, throw PSN and XBL in there too. They are all shit. You think yours doesn't stink?

LOL

I like how on this website the first option to insult people is by accusing them of pirating games, lol. You guys are something else.

How are you going to gift a friend in another country, genius? if not online/digitally? Like its 2024, of course everyone on the internet has friends in different countries.

99% of Steam games have no issues with Denuvo or whatever.

How am I going to play online without a subscription? The whole concept is just to get more money out of you

 

[Muddasar]

Speak for yourself.

The only Sony games that should go near a PC are their GaaS games.

Launcher or no Launcher is irrelevant.

Arrogant Sony will eventually realise that they aren’t Apple and their PlayStation brand will go the way of Xbox if they continue this way.

If anything they would be better ditching PC altogether and put their games on Mobile. It’s a completely separate market and a bigger one at that which will not affect their console business.

The amount of money made now on Steam is pennies compared to the long term damage on their own platform brand - and this is without factoring in rampant piracy.

You should contact Sony and tell them about piracy on PC and how they make pennies from Steam, since you know more than them.

1) He probably wanted to play online with his friend in Dark Souls, hence the need for PS Plus.
2) Not all games have a physical copy, more and more games don't receive a physical copy. Hence the need for a gifting system in PS Store.
3) Tons of games dont't have denuvo and always online DRM. And denuvo is removed after a while too.
4) Steam isn't shit. Hence why people want to use it.

I will say a gifting system should be on PSN it's absolutely ridiculous it doesn't exist because Sony is absolutely shit with localizing their stores in certain markets.

Embarrassing for them.

It is embarrassing to not be able to gift your friend a game in the current year or receive one. It's a basic feature.

 

[PropellerEar]

Personally I don't care for a gifting system, I do it with physical games or via PSN credit code, I have even gifted the fricking PS+ subscription.
(To different countries, no issues at all)

Also I don't like gifting system in hands of kids.

This has never been a problem on Steam and there are many different methods to gift a person and person getting the gift has to accept it to.

Steams options for gifting. Try and gift something to someone and see them yourself. You can have an instant gift, a scheduled gift, the person receiving the gift can reject the gift, put the gift into the library at once, put the gift into the inventory, if the gift is rejected it is sendt to the gifters inventory.

PSN not having a gifting option is insane due to the increased digitalizing of video games. Like on EGS, no gifting either, so Alan Wake 2 which is only on EGS can't be gifted and that game is digital only, so no physical gifting either.

Sony can make good money by making a gifting option.

Nah PC ports need to be scrapped. This old legacy of Shawn and Jimbo needs to be discarded.
