I‘m definitely one of these pc gamers who didn’t get a PS5 because all the good games came to pc anyway where they usually had MUCH more potential in terms of graphics / modability
I literally only have one so I can play games with friends I can’t hang with irl too often. And even they are coming around on switching to PC.
I bought most of the PS games because they're my favorites but I've been a PC gamer for like 15 years now and would not and absolutely will not switch to a console, for many reasons but largely because it's just a dick move to get people into their ecosystem.
And I'll say I got into because a friend donated their old system to me. None of my consoles ever lasted as long as that old machine. I had to replace the PSU at one point. And when I got a new system I swapped it in there as well. Try recycling your PS4 PSU into a PS5.
If they had a PS store for PC I would have bought from there as well and skipped Steam (provided it wasn't complete as like most other launchers).
At the same time I know many people who bought a PS in lieu or in addition to their PC just for exclusives so I'm sure it's a winning strategy for them.
Even tiny mods can be significant to user experience. I hate the trend of games always having sharpening filters on. I started playing Expedition 33 this weekend and discovered it has a super strong sharpening filter with no option to turn it off, so I went and got a mod before I did a single thing.
