Hey Sony, you know what's going to happen?
People are just not gonna play those games instead of buying a PS5 to play them.
Congrats on setting your money on fire.
Yeah, but the sad part is the games and the people who made them will get the short end of this stupid decision. The dipshit executives will see poor sales for such and such game and decide people didn't like the game, rather than that their dipshit decision drove away customers. Best case they decide to meddle harder in future releases, further enshitifying their games and hurting game developers.

Their loss. I won't buy a PS5 or later anyway.
Guess I’ll have to find some indie devs to give my money too.
Honestly with the number of old games I have and the number of new awesome games on Steam, I am set for life. Sony, i need you not
I have been throwing money at them non stop, keep it up indie devs!
Oh no, but the PC has no games
In no world am I buying a PS5 so I guess FAFO
Okay, they will sell less games.
I have not bought a Sony console since the PlayStation 2. I've "missed" a fair few games already. The ones that end up worth playing always seem to make their way to PC eventually.
Sony saw Xbox effectively exiting the console industry and said "excellent, now we have a monopoly on the space, we can make all our games console-exclusive." This is why, loathe as I am to admit it, it was a good thing for a competitive ecosystem for Microsoft to still be in the race. But since they decided to cap themselves...
Guess I'll have to buy a Steam Machine in a few years when RAM is available again.
They'll be seeing none of my money then. Maybe if I ever bother to play them it'll be for free on an emulator years from now, but honestly, I have a massive backlog of amazing games to play so it might not even be worth the effort. I bought most of their PC releases too. Oh well.
So just their exclusives which they barely make anymore. I can buy used for the 2.5 games Sony themselves makes per generation now when they aren't failing to trend chase a whaling game genre.
With as many as they release, that's what like, one every three years or so? I'll live.
They'll be seeing fewer sales from PC players.
ok
console wars are on again, but Valve will crush Sony.
They don't stand a chance. (*)
(*) Sorry Valve i just doomed you, my predictions are always wrong,.
Then I won't buy them I guess. I don't care enough about Sony's games to buy a PS5 just to play them.
Oh well, im still moving to PC. Im sick of missing out on mods.
LOL, I haven't bought a Sony product since the PSP. Don't threaten me with a good time, jackass.
Welp. I guess they don't want my money.
Thank you so much! Less games to add to my pile of shame.
emulatoooor here I cooooome
Future headline - "K shaped economy for gaming industry. How indie gaming won the market and AAA bites the dust."
I hope I can get ghost of yotei.
I get why console companies want to keep exclusives but I hate it. It is only making me not engage at all.

Epic exclusives says what?
They were making money and that's clearly not the goal. As seen by Sony renting out systems and getting rid of disk drives.
Please FromSoftware goes to PC primarily!
Meh, I have a ps5 already anyways and prefer to play on my couch, so no loss for me.
To me, consoles are a giant waste. Like, you got another fully capable computer that is artificially limited to gaming. This is an e-waste nightmare, all paid from our wallets.
Could be lovely to have a sort of thin client for couch gaming.
But to me, a gaming pc is a giant waste, because you spend $2-3000 to play games at a higher res or with extra rtx features, but the actual quality of the game hardly changes from the console version. A simple cheap pc could do most of your pc needs without the gaming function and be significantly cheaper.
In fact a cheap pc and a console net the same results as a high end gaming pc, but at a cheaper price, imo. So to each his own I guess.
You don't need a high-end PC to get the console experience. Something in the range of $700-800 will run your games no worse than a console, except you'll also get a fully functional computer that can use its full power for any other tasks.
Also, you won't be limited to a certain game library, store, or even the OS. You'll also be able to run any newer games indefinitely as long as your hardware can handle them. And if it can't, you can upgrade the GPU/CPU/RAM specifically instead of replacing the whole unit, saving money, granting customization features, and helping the environment.
So, to each...their own...I guess?
It'll definitely be more expensive than a console, since they sell the consoles at a loss expecting to make it back on the games. (But not that much more.)
... Especially in this fucking economy when it seems they're deliberately trying to destroy the concept of having a functional computer that you own and can run arbitrary stuff on.
Which, is why it's more important than ever to have a PC.
It, uh, was at least definitely possible to do a <$1000 computer back in 2020-25. Ours is under $1000 (I think we started at $400 for a no-GPU build in 2020ish, then got a used RX 580 ($150) once the GPU craze died down and a slightly better CPU ($100), and have an RX 6600 now). Though now with the exploding RAM prices...

Man PC gaming just keeps getting whacked in the teeth, doesn't it?
