Peeps at Sony probably prefer to treat their PC port business as a tease to bring more PC consumers to buy a PS5. With the ramnarok and all that it's some machiavellian perfect timing.
Will go ahead and share this in relation to another comment thread I've chosen to block instead of replying: https://www.reuters.com/technology/sony-facing-79-bln-mass-lawsuit-over-playstation-store-prices-2023-11-21/
Not that I support this kind of lawsuit anyway. Before digital storefronts such as Valve's Steam, development studios would earn a much lower cut from game sales.
Is the decades old standard 30% cut for digital storefronts fair? I believe that should be negotiable. Some haven't and probably will never offer a quality or quantity of services that even comes close to those that came before them, so they could and should take a lower cut instead of increasing prices and commisions because they're fully invested in AI slop.
Now then, I know Valve lets devs generate Steam keys for their games and gift/sell them outside of Steam without Valve ever taking a cut from those sales. That's usually why people can buy legitimate PC keys on several sites like Humble or Fanatical at lower prices. Does anyone know if Sony allows this as well?
