It's why I think it's clear that they'll launch a handheld and a PC launcher.

They layperson thinks these things have to take over on day one, but the reality is that it's about sustained growth and profitability.
they should, cause currently the only thing they're doing with these PC ports is devaluing their console and giving less reasons for people to purchase a playstation handheld, their own studios are promoting Steam Deck, it's disgusting

I have a piece in the works that will tackle this question.

Short answer: Everyone who is addressable in the market has largely chosen where they game. You can either reach them where they are, or you will lose out on a software sale.

No! I knew it that Hermen Hulst was a bad omen. He will truly destroy the brand PlayStation. This imbecile will drag PlayStation into the Abyss. Sony does better get rid of Hermen Hulst, unless they want to face the same fate as Xbox. If PlayStation dies, so does Sony.
This is their bread and butter.

Well then those chuckle-fucks should miss out. Why should they get access to Sony's games without Sony's machine? The PC players don't even buy/play the games in comparison to their console version sales (see GOWR on pc vs ps sales). Get out of here with that absolute nonsence.

If they actually wanted to play that game enough, they'd get the console for them. If the games were only available on the console(s), they'd have no other option. Instead, Sony is coming to them, losing 30% to Valve in the process, and taking-on all the extra workload of porting to pc, and the bs and heartache that comes from doing so.

If everything they put towards PC was instead put towards a ''PS5 handheld'', or a PS4 handheld a few years ago, at least things would still be within the PS ecosystem and not working-against their console profit margins. It's just all ass backwards.

And why does that bother you? Do you own stocks?

It's bad business. When Sony turn around and want people to buy a PS6, PS6 handheld, PSVR3 or something, people will point to little-supported hardware that stalled-out. They will point-to the various price raises; the fact they can buy a game cheaper just normally as a matter of course on Steam (never mind a sale also usually being active, or not having to pay an online paywall on Steam).

Sony making all the stupid bum-ass decisions now, that will lead them to have actual issues later-on. Monetarily. Not just loud actual PS fans eating bans and being told they're concern-trolling, or being condensed to one thread so other members don't get their feelings hurt.

Sega didn't die because the DreamCast sucked, it died because they eroded customer confidence/loyalty over the course of the CD/32/Saturn life cycles.

Oh no they said the forbidden term "DEI" 😱🫣

On a serious note, it's crazy the company is so dependent on PlayStation yet they continue to treat the department like a thorn in their side.

Why bother with these people? GOWR sold 200k on PC and at this rate it will struggle REAL bad to reach 1 million sales. 12+ months.

They sell more than 3 millions PS5s every quarter. The real growth is there.

They can miss on those pitiful sales. "Lose out" lmao 🤣
