I want Sony to release a launcher on PC |UP| Sony should buy Valve and turn Steam into PS PC Launcher.
- Thread starter Etifilio
- Start date
I agree. I would rather pay full price on Steam than play the game entirely for free on Epic. Yes, it might sound outlandish and stupid but it is what it is, and I can assure you I'm not the only Steam user who thinks this way
If I could play the first party PlayStation games I already own on PC without having to buy them again for PC, and I would get cross-saving, trophies. and full wireless DualSense support, I would use a separate launcher for that.
Pelo keep saying that here but...
Ubisoft PC Revenue with Steam:
FY2012-13: €113 million (9% split)
FY2013-14: €151 million (15% split)
FY2014-15: €176 million (12% split)
FY2015-16: €195 million (14% split)
FY2016-17: €263 million (18% split)
FY2017-18: €312 million (17% split)
Ubisoft PC Revenue without Steam:
FY2018-19: €498 million (27% split)
FY2019-20: €415 million (26% split)
FY2020-21: €511million (23% split)
FY2021-22: €553 million (26% split)
Ubisoft PC Revenue when they started to put some titles on Steam again:
FY2022-23: €327 million (18% split)
I want to see data to backup that claim but there is none... all data we see is less revenue and market split when launching on Steam for Ubisoft.
And when they again start to put some games on Steam the first year back to low revenue and split.
The only way I would see any third party publishers getting on this thing is if it was some requirement for future exclusivity deals on specific titles such as the FF VII Rebirth thing. Like "if we moneyhat your game, you need to put it on our PC app and have cross-buy with the PlayStation console store"

I think in the future Sony will have a single PSN store for PS home consoles, (PC) portable consoles, PC, mobile and cloud. Covering the digital versions of all their generations.
If you bought a game digitally once or have it from PS+, you can play it in all platforms natively (if can run it) or via the cloud (any game, not needing to be one of the PS+ Premium games) without having to buy it again in other platform.
Shared friendlist, trophies and progress across all platforms. Free online.
In exchange for having a single unit sold in multiple platforms, Sony's cut would be 15% and for big sellers 10% instead of the typical 30%.

Because Sony wants to have a good store, with anti-cheat and anti-piracy DRM, plus being the PSN store.
I think the easier way for them is to release at the same time:
- PS6: BC with PS4 & PS5, now also would have PS3 classics
- Web based PC PSN store (the same app would also include remote play, the PC launcher and PS cloud gaming): ports of their main PS4 and PS5 games plus PS1/PS2/PS3/PSP Classics
- Web based mobile PSN store (same app would also feature remote play and PS cloud gaming): Android + iOS
- PSP6: SteamDeck OLED on steroids PS Portal successor that runs natively all the games available in their PC and mobile PSN stores plus features remote play and PS cloud gaming. Plus OtherOS support if you want to install Windows, SteamOS, Linux or Android
- Feature cross-save, cross-play and cross-buy across all 3 PSN platforms and PS Cloud gaming
- To support both PS6 and PSP6 devices to play them there natively
- People who bought the game there would be able to play it via PS Cloud gaming in PS5, PS6, PSP6, PSVR3, PC, mobile, smart tvs, web browsers if the user has PS+ Premium
- In case of submitting a PC game that was already available for PS4 or PS5, they won't be required to submit a PS6 SKU due to BC
In exchange for having a single unit sold in multiple platforms, Sony's cut would be 15% and for big sellers 10% instead of the typical 30%.

And then you have Activision which stated CoD leaving Steam was a "resounding failure" for Activision and now they are fully back on Steam and that happened before the acquisition.
Microsoft says Call of Duty exclusivity experiment on PC was a "resounding failure"
The company was referring to Activision's decision to make digital copies of Call of Duty exclusive to Battle.net on PC from 2018 to 2022.
Ubisoft is the odd one out. Left Steam for many years and now they are back on Steam.

That's what we call a brown-nosing corporate shill lapdog. You guys are even worst than the console variants. At least most console fanboys are self-aware.
You already have your mind made up.
You don't speak for most people.
Imagine thinking Steam is just another 'corporate' who is just out for our money. Do you know anything about Gaben? do you even play on Steam or what?
Once another game store becomes as good as them on PC, I will stop simping for Steam
People like Steam and wants to use Steam because everyone else sucks and doesn't invest into PC like Valve.
When Valve took the risk and invested in Steam, Epic called PC "piracy infested" and went back to consoles.
Now Valve is reaping the benefits of that risk.

Epic is already better, but the pc propagandists won’t let you believe that

you guys are 10000x worse than console warriors
Epic can't even get the bigger games like Palworld, Helldivers 2, Elden Ring, Baldurs Gate 3, Sons of the Forest, Lethal Company etc. onto their store.
Epic is not a serious store. They are barely functional.

hope Sony delists all of their singleplayer games off of Steam after they release this new launcher, want to play PlayStation games? become a PlayStation Network member
