I don't understand why people are losing their shit over this? The more money a game recoups the more the developer can spend on the next one. As long as Sony leave a gap for their big blockbusters like Uncharted(6-12months) that is great. Some games could well do with a PC version. Games like Destruction All Stars would have benefited with more exposure and players.
Because some gamers feel insecure if their ecosystem game runs on another platform.

really is right and the first Horizon ZD will look better than the sequel because the sliders are pushed to the right.Really?
Suicide seems a bit much don't you think?
People mistakenly think that this signals the death of PlayStation...that because they care so much to post claiming that they'll boycott because someone can play HZD or DG on something other than a PlayStation that everyone will. In reality most people don't give a shit, and most PC gamers don't own consoles, or only buy a few select games, aren't really in the ecosystem at all, and might actually end up being a small net-loss for Sony (since individual units are often sold at a loss, atleast early on, and rely on software sales to make up the difference), whereas if they just sell the games to PC gamers on PC then everything they take is additional profit.
If you can’t do a discussion without your fanboyish remarks don’t bother quoting my post.
Neither are people who have their fav sports teams that perform poorly or make stupid decisions, whats the difference?
How in any way is the ecosystem eroded because some 1P games come 2 years/3 years later onto PC?Well, this is legitimately depressing to see the erosion of the PS ecosystem. I don't understand what is there to gain, shows how much I know. Who knows, maybe
Does that still mean day 1 first party going forward?
because it meant in the development phase they were already planning a PC port, and that constrains them from using the bespoke hardware to its full potential - which by the very nature of the console business, was the point of paying a large closed system hardware tax to begin with.
Except it is stupid and the opposite will happen. Pc gamers who might of bought a ps5 will skip it if there is any chance to buy them for pennies on the dollar on steam. The terrible sales of horizon should tell you how well this worked out for extra money a measly 1-2 million copies for who knows how much minus lord gabens 30%.. then each of those lost ps5 sales to the pc so no psn or 3rd party games. Same thing happened to Microsoft they lost gamers to not only the PlayStation but pc. If you give the cheapest gamers on earth pc gamers hope they can get games from their favorite third country steam VPN they will skip consoles. They are patient and can wait on single player games to get them for 9.99.
Does it, though? I think it's much more likely that development and porting will be handled by separate studios, as was the case with HZD. And even if that turned out not to be the case, I doubt it would affect optimization for the console version. If anything, they're likely to get sloppy with the port since PC hardware allows you to brute force your way past a lot of performance issues.
Good job nobody takes you and your fanboyism seriously then, eh? Trying to send a message AFTER buying 2 PS5s? Have a day off.
On behalf of Sony, I'd like to apologize to PC users for bestowing Days Gone onto your wondaful platform. First Horizon and now this. One day we'll give you a good game instead of our approximation of a typically Ubisoft release.

Already play it on PC very enhanced
I honestly don't know. And my contact has moved on to MS. I would think that eventually it will be day-n-date but that's my speculation. I do know that changing the graphics engine for a more portable friendly game is futureproof for sequels. I doubt they will wait longer than 6 months for a PC version if they are spending the R&D money to make their engine portable. The dev studios gotta eat.
At the very least he can kiss that 150m PS5's target good bye. Like all the slicks in the business who get the top gig and think they can reinvent the wheel with bright ideas and get no burns. We've had quite a few of them on this industry. To copy Philly boy.... ain't too bright that fella. I know I keep getting told I should buy Nvidia stock.... it's becoming pretty hard not to.
I don't understand where this comes from. There have been several companies that have used the PS to it's full potential - even today. It doesn't have to be a 1st party company.

I very seriously doubt this is the intention of Sony. They aren't going to convince PC players to buy PS5s when PC hardware can be more powerful and run better. I think it's basically a revenue thing. Why have MS make more money because they release to the PC as well and Sony not do the same? Porting these games to PC requires a significant amount of refactoring of their graphics engine. The companies aren't going to go through that just to convince people to buy a PS5. This isn't a marketing ploy. It's a paradigm shift.
There isn't one. It's the bleatings of the mentally ill. In a world where you are expected to hold down a job, go to school, raise families, and try to stay sane during a pandemic, it is a bizarre sight that there are supposed adults weeping because people they've never met will be able to buy games they already own three years after they bought them. It makes me think that atomic war isn't such a bad idea.
