In no world am I buying a PS5 so I guess FAFO
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.
They’ll be seeing fewer sales from PC players.
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.
Ohh noooo!
Now my backlog of games that should be shrinking is only going to grow by 10% next year instead of 12% like it could have!
The tech companies haven’t driven me to the point of utter contempt for consoles like they have for phones, but at the same time I have multiple PCs and more games than I will ever play.
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,.
Epic exclusives says what?
Please FromSoftware goes to PC primarily!
Future headline - “K shaped economy for gaming industry. How indie gaming won the market and AAA bites the dust.”
Guess I’ll be buying fewer single player games
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…

Darn.
Was really hoping my PC would do for playing future Horizon (not Hunters Gathering) and GoW games.
Didn’t need a PS5, but I guess Sony doesn’t want my money anymore.
Too bad.
Went decades without them. Didn’t really play the ones that did become available… No loss as far as I’m concerned.
As someone who played them all voraciously on PS5 then downloaded their repacks once they became available to mod the fuck out of them to give them new life to me, this hurts a lot.
Don’t worry, this is not the first time they’ve done this. They’ll be back.
They released Lego Horizon on Nintendo Switch. Marathon will even come to Xbox.
So you paid for them on PS5 but pirated them on PC? Great job telling Sony you don’t want PC versions.
Buddy I barely have enough money for food and rent, last thing I’m doing is spending money to play the same single player game twice. Sony know computer players have steam and are frugal, that is why they are okay with abandoning the market while the going is tough for the average working class denizen of Earth. God knows they were never getting my money twice and so did Sony.
PS what are you trying to accomplish with this comment? Is it fun to just openly shill for capitalism?
Yeah, I unlike the OP don’t like online games. I love story not just randomly shooting at things.
I don’t know what you’re referring to, but it sounds like you’re saying PC games are all online and PS has the only story games. Is that right?
If that is what you’re saying, you couldn’t be more wrong. All the CRPGs are on PC, for example. We have more exclusives than any other platform (not saying exclusives are good, just that PC is easier to make and distribute for). The best offline games are arguably (without much debate) on PC.
The only ones I was remotely interested we’re Demons souls remake (which never came to PC) and Bloodborne remake (which never happened in the first place). For the rest of Sony games I gave most of them a fair shot but none of them made me think “wow, this was a must play”.
Bloodborne remake (which never happened in the first place)

Returnal is very good. Otherwise, Meh
Returnal came to PC. Honestly, I think it looks cool but I didn’t care for it. Everything it did, except for graphics, has been done better by indies. It felt pretty bland in my opinion, but probably pretty unique if you only play AAA.
I’ve found that most of their games are overpriced and take years to lose their value, as well as being more demanding of hardware then their image quality suggests. Still, a shame to lose a publisher doing AAA single player games that aren’t live service slop.
Which of their games don’t run well on 8-year old mid range hardware? The last of us remakes built for ps5?
PS makes pretty much all my favorite PC games so that’s unfortunate for me.
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.
Sony’s strategy has been all over the place. This should have been the stance at the launch of PS5, if anything, not now.
