The important change is that Sony wants to make money from their games rather than from their hardware. People have a deeper emotional connection to Sony's box than Sony has.
What would it take for y'all to be ok with PlayStation on PC?

And that's the problem without the box PlayStation is dead and it seems they have lost sight of that. If you devalue your box then Playstation owners have no reason to buy your box, when you're putting your games else where and making them technically superior and also easily pirated.
Without the box there's goes your 30% cut of all third party games and MTX, there goes the PS+ subs, now you'll also be stuck paying other vendors a cut of your first party profits...
All those accessory sales disappear amongst other stuff lol
But what do we know, surely the CEO's know better

It they don't grow they are not staying constant, they are receding, costs go up with time. If costs rise and business is not growing you are going red.
It's a pretty basic concept.
Yes I want PlayStation to die and yet I keep giving them money.... Make it make sense.
I prefer console gaming, I like buying discs. I like cover art and I miss manuals.
I probably will just find new hobbies if Sony exists the console market.
That doesn't disprove in any way that you want the PlayStation console to die, if anything it shows that you are all in on it dying.Yes I want PlayStation to die and yet I keep giving them money.... Make it make sense.
Do you even own a PS5? Why are you double dipping on all these games?
Almost none of these games would end up being made if Sony was a PC only publisher.

Why would I want PlayStation to die, I don't care where others play their games.
PlayStation will die without expansion, do you think PC is the end of the road here? The next 5 years are going to make a lot of people really pissy. PlayStation will die without expansion.
Yes I own one.
The PC games barely selling will save PlayStation? PlayStation as we know will die as they try to cater to the PC audience, 5 years from now Sony will probably just limit themselves to GaaS, MOBAs, F2P, etc, let's see if the likes of you are going to be enough for their business then.
And the console games, all games now must be made to cater to the PC audience and their taste.

Disc based games are probably a larger loss to Sony than the cut Valve takes for the same games on Steam. Adding to this used game sales net them $0.

They are part of the experience, without them gaming just feels more hollow if that makes sense.
The reason limited run games exist is because there are a lot of people out there like me who care about cases and manuals.
They weren't exaggerates lol. Last year was the first year PS5 was readily available all the time. PS5 was suppose to surpass the PS4 before 2023 ended that came out of Jim Ryan's mouth. Instead the PS5 lost ground to PS4 by the end of 2023.
At this rate the PS5 will probably sell around the PS1 / Wii.
-4 years staggered launches at best, but ideally only last gen games being ported (No PS5 games, only PS4)
-PC games can't run better than console
-PC games must launch only in a proprietary launcher (Not STEAM)
-games should ALWAYS cost more on PC than on console, no matter how old the games get
-absolutely NO PC port announcements during shows where the real console fans are watching (state of play, E3, gamescom, conferences, whatever).
PC ports are a blog post at best, no fanfare. Also, Nixxes has to atleast do something of value for PS5 console owners. Not sure what, just not what they're doing right now.

The sense of entitlement of this post LMAO. If you want to play playstation games it's simple "BUY A PLAYSTATION"
I would say last gen for SP and day one for multiplayer GaaS with mandatory crossplay off option. I have Helldivers 2 crossplay turned off despite being PvE.
Multiplayer modes could be as well standalone like Uncharted 4 and be available on PC, but the SP/campaign only available on PS.
