They have to stop coddling the most degenerate elements of their fanbase and release on PC day-1.

PlayStation’s Jim Ryan: ‘We’re making a completely new VR format for PS5’
Surprise! PlayStation head honcho Jim Ryan has some news to share on PS5 stock, Sony’s 2021 release schedule and a new PlayStation VR headset.
Valve and pirates will love it. PC becomes drastically more attractive as someones only platform.
The $400 dollars for a PlayStation and monthly fees for multiplayer can all go towards something else.
If PC is so important why R* a third party dev skips it on their releases? Their games even have a major GaaS component and they still skip PC on release. Sony has none of those incentives and have extra incentives to keep those games exclusives to their own console.
Jim Ryan was a clueless out of touch hack who had no idea how to read the gaming landscape.Jim Ryan:

They're not going to stop under the new CEO. Because it's a no brainer.

@Yurinka you can't spin these numbers buddy 
A platform of 133+ million users can't even buy 2 million copies of Spiderman. "PC is bigger than console" is one of the biggest lies of the past 10 years, without question.

Let's see how much y'all support Horizon: Forbidden West next year... Make or break
PC is bigger than consoles for piracy, F2P and GaaS/multiplayer depending on the genre.@Yurinka you can't spin these numbers buddy

GOW is a bigger IP than Horizon by far. The idea being, GOW 2018 should've sold more copies than HZD on Steam/PC, not less.
That's one of the big points behind the PC strategy: to generate bigger sales for successive releases. Instead it's a downward trajectory, that is not what Sony wanted. Hell, it's not what ANY company would want.
Yeah that is the case, but for F2P and GaaS it's partly because it simply has more games. So even if individual games do small numbers, there's so many that combined it all starts to add up.
I just like balking back at the idea it's "bigger than console" for the people who try lying to themselves thinking SF6's sales, for example, were majority on PC. Or even taking Capcom's own quotes about PC out of context, when they were talking about catalog/legacy title releases and not new releases insofar as PC being their biggest growing platform.
Literal common sense should tell those types that if PC were such a massive chunk of new software revenue, Capcom would be doing marketing deals with Valve. Like, some of these people just need to turn on their brains for once.
Why do you assume Sony strategy is always optimum? Saying it's a mistake is not the same as saying Sony isn't going to do it.
They'll do it and that is likely going to be a big contributing factor to their ecosystem losing momentum and potentially becoming unsustainable in the not so distant future.
What I don't get is that those games are new games for them they aren't a protected class who should get them cheaper
They clearly are. You either do that or more of them are going to just pirate it. What a great position for Sony to be in.
PlayStation is getting exactly what they asked for a taste of how it is to publish single player games on PC. They'll then use this to justify pivoting even further to GaaS.
I'm saying it's a no brainer, it's easy money, and the evidence is that Sony keeps ramping up. When the next CEO continues enthusiastically pursuing PC ports, it further backs what I've been saying.
You, and co-thinkers are blinded by console war mentality to the point where you think you know better than Playstation what's good for Playstation.
