That would be like buying a car for ten times the price, limiting it to 10 kph and forcing yourself to sit on a 30*8 cm dildo while driving it: Way too expensive, limiting in every way and extremely uncomfortable.

Idk about other people but I don't have the money, and can't justify buying a console in addition to a PC. If I had that extra money, I'd upgrade my computer. That and I don't like AAA games and I'm already invested in Steam and GOG libraries.

Sony, the friendly publisher who is making PC gaming friends every day with their "required PSN" addition to already released games (and new ones to be published) thinks these same PC gaming folks will buy a console to play PS exclusive sequels...

Why do they think that someone who hasn't bought a console already for games like Bloodbourne, God of War, Uncharted, Spiderman, Ghost of Tsushima, Horizon: Zero Dawn, etc. would buy one for a sequel of any of them??

Haha! I'm still waiting for a decent sale on Spider-Man 1.

I don't get why people are so confident that this is a dumb move that won't work. We know games are buggy at launch, and people rush to buy them anyway. And then the forums are filled with people losing their shit that the game has bugs in it and isn't perfect. This idea that gamers are some patient group doesn't reflect the reality I've seen over the past 2 decades.

Some people will do it. We're talking about people who can afford powerful rigs here, they can afford it if they care enough. So it's not entirely stupid for Sony to try this bait thing.

Guess that we won't see Demon's Souls or Bloodborne until they have an exclusive sequel locked away, tho. :(

I bought a PSP just to play GOW Ghost of Sparta, PS2 just to play God of War 2 and PS3 just to play God of War 3 back in the day, since it seemed it was impossible for God of War titles to come to PC ever since the older titles. Same impossibility as a Pokemon game being released to PC.

I was also planning to get a PS4 just for God of War too; but then it got hinted that a PC release was possible through the Geforce Now leak. Ever since then I know any future titles won't be that exclusive; so why would I even bother buying a PS4, or PS5?

Good games sell their consoles.

lmao i've been playing marvel spiderman 2 on my pc this month
