Of course, there are basically no drawbacks.
You mean like in Mario where pressing the B button makes the fat plumber jump?
The vast, vast majority of PC gamers do not also own a PS5 lol.
Socom or Mag on PC would be a hit.
lol no
It's incredible isn't it? The entire company is leaking like an old house which should raise security concerns, games are being canceled, VR isn't doing so hot, PS owner are being milked dry with remasters, online fees and price increase and let's not talk about creativity which has left Sony's offices for a while now.
Nope. Some people on gaf are really deluded how the world is outside their enthusiast circle.
Like releasing excellent ports not full priced.
This is true but I think a lot of PC gamers with high end PCs powerful enough to play PS5 ports also own a PS5.
Well yea that's a different convo
Well thigs did change. They do still release new games but it slowed down drastically on sony side. And closure of Japanese studios is still felt.
oh you mean those segments that make up less than 5% of the 20-30 hour games that they are typically in? Yeah they're such a big problem bro, totally why sony games are leagues below what Nintendo and Valve makes. How dare they want to tell a story in their video games.
All valid points but I fail to see what the PC ports have to do with all this.
it's more like they're investing grains of sand and pebbles, getting peanuts and cashews in return.
More like sunflower seeds in return.
No sane company gives up hundreds of millions dollars in profit. Especially when the ROI is so high.
Sony doesn't like anemic sales.
It didn't make hundreds of millions.
Same. I haven't even played some of them, I just buy them when they get dirt cheap as a backup copy to keep until the end of days. Assuming Gabe is kind enough to stay alive forever.
It's especially tough cause they're asking full prices for these older titles. You have to really want them on PC to accept that offer.
But what's the alternative? Not make an extra few million for basically zero drawbacks? I don't see the incentive for Sony to stop the ports.
You absolutely don't know what effect pc ports have on sales and will have on sales.
Ask MS how that works for them.
If you invest 2 million into a port, literally anything breaks even. like fucking 50k people could've bought rift apart and it would still have made a little profit. That was one of their better ports, too.
I specifically upgraded my PC instead of buying into this console generation based on how weak the consoles looked. Absolutely zero regrets.
I doubt they sell much at all on PC.
I liked Days Gone, and I'd play a Days Gone 2. The motorcycle mechanics were pretty cool, and the Pacific Northwest setting map was interesting to explore.Days Gone sold more than spiderman and uncharted on PC but they didn't let them make a sequel because the first game didn't appeal to a bunch of woke journalists.
