I know Sony started off as a company that helped rebuild Japan after WW2 but I wouldn't call the Japanese terrorists.

They were called out for not condemning the riots last year. I don't recall any gaming company condemning those riots. I guess you'll have to leave gaming.

I'm mostly launcher agnostic, so I'll just use the platform that tends to have the best deal at the time. If all else is equal, I'll generally choose to get it on Steam. The people who are loyal to Steam or some other particular launcher are no better than console people, in my opinion.
Hate to break it to ya, man, but everything is made in China. So is the keyboard you used to type that.

Yeah, that is a fair point. How many launchers do we need?
There has to be a way they can bring over trophy support and friends list etc without a full launcher. Perhaps an optional app you can install on your PC that just handles those.

I imagine they could work with valve and map achievements to trophies. Not sure how friends would work though.

Playstation is cooked.
Steam deck is only the beginning. In a year or two valve will release an steam dock(console) that will play almost all sony games, all xbox games and all pc games with better graphics and a reasonable price.

judging from steam page with all ms studios games it's not true for all of them but :
it seems all first party games after 2018 are there.

Investing more in PC and mobile games than growing their own platforms.... PlayStation is now run by a pack of fucking idiots who deserve no respect and have no real strategy or vision for the brand.
Jim Ryan just wants short term profits and is more than willing to sell out the brand and piss away their strongest USP for a few million euro instead of playing the long game and attain true greatness.
PC is NOT a Sony platform, it is a competing platform, heavily aligned with Microsoft, that heavily benefits Microsoft..... Sony doesn't even make Vaio anymore.
This has to be the most moronic thing Jim 'the clown' Ryan and Herman 'Sideshow' Hulst are doing right now.

I know the games are there. I meant if they require us to login to XBL or not. But I think you're saying not for all of them, then I wonder how it keeps track of achievements and other things?

You think that PC players won't download Epic Games Launcher in order to play Bloodborne and will just hope for a Steam version?

Some will, some wont. Never question the loyalty of many PC users when it comes to Steam.
Just look at how many 'Epic Exclusives' go straight to number one on Steam when Epics moneyhat deal ends.

Isn't that what happened with pretty much every timed exclusive on the EGS so far? The second they end up on Steam they sell more in a single day than they did on the EGS in months.

Exactly. That is also why we see Xbox games consistently in the top sellers list on Steam despite being available through Game Pass for PC. For a lot of PC gamers, it is Steam or nothing.
I think they would just pirate it and say fuck you to everyone involved. Or that and just wait for it to come to steam.
People act like the sales released from epic aren't pathetic.

Man the number of pages where people argued that "NO! this is to help them in their engine technologies and ship their games on PS5!"
Man the amount of people that jumped on me when i said exactly this when Sony bought them, ouch.

Those were the minority. Most folks knew right off the bat this mainly about PC ports.

If they support cross buy from their online store it would be awesome. But unfortunately I can't see it happening.
Now with both Xbox and Playstation on PC it really does make PC the ultimate gaming platform (if you didn't consider it already).
Valves Steam Deck with Proton was a great move by them and perfectly timed.
Money is money. This just shows that eventually PS Now will be on Xbox and Game Pass on PS. There's no point not to. Each has a large number of entrenched fans. You are leaving money on the table by not offering your games to everyone. It's like how Apple Music is available on Android. It makes no sense to limit your audience.
The odd one out is Nintendo. But I think they see the writing on the wall with their cloud gaming moves and mobile efforts. They want to reach all audiences as well.

If they skip Steam then the sales will be low. If the sales are low, then the narrative will be that PC players don't purchase Playstation games therefore, Sony HAS TO STOP PORTING GAMES FOR THOSE DIRTY PC GAMERS THAT WILL ENJOY THEM IN BETTER HARDWARE! FUCKING JIM RYAN RUINED EVERYTHING!

This is a great move for Sony now they can fulfill their dreams and truly compete with Microsoft in the Western Marketplace. Hopefully they can create an direct competitor to Gamepass next.
Nintendo is the only console manufacturer that is not putting their games on PC they're putting all of their heart, sweat, tears and hard work into their own console. I also have a PC so I will very easily be able to play games by the other two console manufacturers through my PC too. Nintendo is the only console manufacturer that is not selling out to the PC market, they have too much honor and love for their own ecosystem.

But why can't they offer it on Steam AND their own choice or choice(s)? Why do people like to limit options for the consumers? It's really... weird. And why do you care about a BILLION dollar company giving Steam money? Do you get a piece of the pie or something? (Genuine question)

Not surprised whatsoever as that's why Sony acquired them so they can start catching up to eventually have their exclusives day and date on PC.

They should port all PS4 games TBH.
Focus on making new PS5 games from now on.

No reason they can't do both, MS has their store and steam releases which support Xbox achievements.

I'm sorry I should have said "legally".
Nonetheless I am very happy that sony is putting their games on the PC now. It's a wonderful business decision by them and like I said I truly hope they come out with a gamepass competitor at some point soon so that they will truly compete with Microsoft in the Western Market while Nintendo focus more on the console Market as well as the Eastern Markets. In that scenario I feel like everyone wins. Nintendo, Microsoft and sony wins.
