Right, because the PC sales cut off at exactly 971K on may of last year and never sold a single copy more since. You're just being disingenuous now and you know that perfectly well.
....so why are they porting everything else, including much bigger IPs?
They may be, if they actually listen to your advice.
PS5 is $900 in my country. I try to play most games on steam.
I'm sure Sony have their reasons for not having ported Bloodborne and Demon's Souls yet, but I'm also pretty damn sure that the existence of some shadowy cabal of Sony-hating PC gamers looking to sabotage the launches of these specific games (and, for some reason, none of Sony's other releases) through an organized act of mass piracy is not one of them.
Is this really that hard to figure out? None of their 1st party games have been released on PS5 and PC Day 1. They come to PC LONG after they have sold the bulk of their copies on PS5.
It doesnt have to be an organized act for a group of people to share a similar mindset. Its really not that deep. Tribalism in the pc community started long before the term console warriors was coined. Pc players act like they cant play a game if its not on Steam. Thats no different than a person who only plays games that are on gamepass, or people who only buy games on playstation. The difference is only PC players expect another platform they dont support to give them the best they have to offer when they want it, which is next level entitlement. If I was head of Sony, I wouldnt port those games either. Those games are reserved or people who support playstation hardware and the ecosystem. Its is still a business.
"I'm mad because Sony isn't porting these games, so I'll pirate them when they do." Isn't a mindset. You can probably count the PC gamers who think that way on one hand.
...so why aren't they porting 'old' bloodborne and demon souls?
We cannot say 'no interest,' but I believe that these games have received lower attention than expected, especially considering they were exclusive to PlayStation for years. While God of War sold 20 million copies on the PS4, it only sold 850,000 copies on PC, and The Last of Us remained in the 350,000 range. On the other hand, games like Horizon and Spider-Man sold around 2 million copies, attracting the most attention(those numbers are pretty good actually). You can also check concurrent player numbers in here.
Even if they get pirated by some margin, so what? If they sell a buch then they will profit. It's not like those games are hot currently that Sony needs them to be exclusives, at this point they're not selling and a new platform bring potential additional sells. Apparently Sony's vision is similar, since we have PC versions of many "exclusives".
I wish I had a good answer to that. It's beyond me. Bloodborne will most likely get a PS5 remaster first. Demons Souls....thats a frustrating mystery to me.
Have you ever considered the possibility of your initial hypothesis being just a bunch of hot air?
Ok, that's your opinion but facts are facts. Over 100 million users on Steam and less than 1% actually bought the game, but we're supposed to believe it's not being pirated after port begging through change.org during last generation?
+110 million ps4 sales and not even 900k people bought Gravity Rush 2.Ok, that's your opinion but facts are facts. Over 100 million users on Steam and less than 1% actually bought the game, but we're supposed to believe it's not being pirated after port begging through change.org during last generation?
Sounds like +109.1 million people with exquisite taste.
. What game are you even talk about? And how many signatures did that petition get?
Port begged by some really vocal minority. Most people on Steam don't give a shit. They play Call of Duty and EA Sports stuff.Ok, that's your opinion but facts are facts. Over 100 million users on Steam and less than 1% actually bought the game, but we're supposed to believe it's not being pirated after port begging through change.org during last generation?
A PS5/Pro only version is more likely and wiser on Sony's part.Dude. I would love for blodoborne to receive 4k120 remaster.... only for ps5. HHAHA
Thing is that this is also just a very vocal minority. Bloodborne sold pretty good for its niche but not the numbers Sony are looking for these days. Some people make Bloodborne or Demon's Souls out to be this big-ass games. Elden Ring was the first one of these that sold mainstream numbers.
Sure it does.
You are basically implying that the remaining 99% pirated the game.Ok, that's your opinion but facts are facts. Over 100 million users on Steam and less than 1% actually bought the game, but we're supposed to believe it's not being pirated after port begging through change.org during last generation?
Neither of those games are particularly popular on Steam, at least not compared to consoles. The most played games on Steam and on PC in general tend to be games that aren't available on consoles at all, like CSGO, DOTA or League of Legends. CSGO alone currently has 10 times as many players on Steam as CoD and FIFA combined.
Jesus what salty baby ass comments are these man holy shit.
fair enough, that's what I meant. That Steam users play the mainstream stuff and the people who scream the loudest for a Bloodborne or Demon's Souls port/remake are just a very vocal minority because these games were niche in comparison (except for maybe Elden Ring, which approached mainstream sales numbers).
Stop. Your talking out of your ass. Zero facts 100% derp
It´s what most Pc users do with Sony games.
