Its amazing how emotional you all get over that.
That's first party. The ownership of the studio is irrelevant, it's the ownership of the game that matters.
Lol, sure. I very rarely play on PC, mainly on Playstation, so Sony's and SCE's well being means stronger Playstation and so on. You get the idea.
This is besides my point though, of it being a bad business idea by being a change in Sony's modus operandi.

Yep, I guess games like Everybody's gone to the rapture, the tomorrow children or Rime could come to PC too then, but not the games people are now going to portbegg for.

People should stop referencing data that makes me feel uncomfortable because games get ported to platforms I don't like
Because we got tired of hearing about this port begging on all of the Bloodborne topics around here.
That tag is for Mobile Games imo but I guess it can be applied to any plataform

Now they can piss off PC gamers too! When all their progress gets reset for no apparent reason.

I would think so, along with a few other smaller titles.

The more platforms a game is available on = the more people can enjoy it and support devs = higher chances of sequesl/studio staying in business
No one looses by non-exclusivity. No one.

Smaller titles like this for sure I could see coming to PC. Everybody's Gone to the Rapture for example.
First party games like Bloodborne, Uncharted and GT? Not a chance.

Didn't realise I was talking to a Sony shareholder concerned with the profit of the company. My mistake!

Thank you.
I still don't get where this second party thing came from.
It's not a bad business idea. You're going in with a very limited and outdated point of view.
They're business, not your deity.

Sshh don't tell them. Let the port begging run strong.
Dudes catching feelings over this is pretty funny.
Dat tag tho

No one is asking that seriously. You shouldnt be so emotional, its just video games.

Well you can laugh all you want, that's what XBO owners did before accepting that any exclusive could come to PC. YOU SHALL FACE THE SAME FATE.
Ok, I'll see myself out. I'm the proud owner of PS4, XBO and Wii U. Was just j/k'ing, sorry.

it isn't a matter of whether not a game ever comes, it's a matter of time

On PC these were probably not published by SCE, so SCE probably on did the distribution part on PSN. This was normal, especially for indie games. Compare Devil's Third Online coming to PC, but self-published by Valhalla.
This is different.

It's over, period. Sony lost their last ace, and that's the end of their PS4 hopes and dreams.
It's not hyperbole, it's not fanboy drivel. It is LITERALLY it for PS4. Sony has nothing left, nothing they can reveal would fix the hole now created. There is no reason left for any one, hardcore or casual, to substantively invest in a PS4. Except if they want to play Uncharted 4. Which will also come to PC at some point.
The age of Sony is done.
I'm pretty sure we're not serious when we "beg" for Bloodborne.

What other games were 100% funded and 100% owned by Sony that they published on PC in recent years (that originally appeared on their console)?

Yes, cross-play would have been a great way to ensure an active community on both platforms.
Oh well.

Kind of understand the bad precedent part, it makes Playstation look weak and makes me as a person who has PC+PS4 question my PS4 purchase.
I mean I don't regret it at all, but I can understand if some people are going to have fears over this, personally I don't think Sony plans to "weaken" their Playstation brand by releasing bigger 1st party exclusives to PC but what do I know.
And yes, port begging is massive as it is and this just helps to fuel it.

There's one person irritated by it.
Every other irritated person is annoyed by the Bloodborne port begging.
But yes, being incensed by the news is a little ridiculous.

What I dont understand is when does the line get crossed for port begging? Is this it?

What on earth is going on in this thread? Did I miss the big joke or something? Or are these posts all real...?

I wonder if this is going to be a repeat of that 'Resogun is coming to PC' thread.

Great game indeed! I've played it for over 200 hours and got the platinum trophy.
WHAT. I'm out.
Portbegging is, when you ask for a playstation game to come to pc or xbox.
"Begging" for a PC or Xbox game to release on playstation is perfectly fine tho. As usual.
See XCOM2 related threads for example.

Is this for real?

These posts are real and yes, people actually think this way.
On the topic of the game: It always looked good, especially since I loved Gauntlet as well (before Slayer Edition fucked it up). Wishlisted, and I'll get it once it comes out.

This makes no sense. Look at their biggest titles by the end of the year: 3rd party multiplats.
Console market is evolving toward more of an appealing ecosystem rather than exlcusives. Of course these still play a big role,but its becoming smaller and smaller and will come down all to your ecosystem preference.
Also, It doesnt mean Sony is going 3rd party at all. Just that exclusives developped by 3rd parties makes less and less sense, at least with PC and consoles.

Was something I said wrong? Or does releasing previously exclusive games on PC somehow make the PS4 more appealing to you?
Maybe you guys misunderstood me or something.
The people who actually care about this are an extremely small amount of those who already own PS4's and are just looking to justify their purchase of the platform.
PS4 is successful not because of those people, but because of being the console with smart third party marketing deals and the right message amidst the blunders of it's competition.
