It’s the end of a short-lived era as PlayStation boss Herman Hulst has reportedly let staff know that Sony is pulling back on PC releases. According to Bloomberg’s sources (via VGC), Sony will cease to release single-player games on PC moving forward, thus keeping exclusives on its PlayStation consoles.

You need to fix this article brother. Those are, at best, peak concurrent player counts. And no where close to total copies sold.

Article says they sold 22k copies of Spidey 2. When there where 28K concurrent players on Steam during launch weekend. 880K copies are estimated to have been sold for PC. In contrast, it sold over 11 million on console. Days Gone has sold approx. 3.4 million copies on PC. God of War over 4 million. Spidey 2 bombed because PCMR has way more adult incels who's cheese slid off their crackers over the game's wokeness.

I predict they will discover how much money they are leaving on the table because PCMR is a separate slice of the pie chart. They are not cannibalizing sales of consoles or games by later releasing on PC the way they think they are. Also probably banking on GTA6 to pull us in via FOMO. Then they try to gaslight us into buying future exclusives, since we have the console already. Good luck with that. GTA6 is a killer app, but I do not think PCMR will invest into the playstation library. Most will just wait for it on PC anyway. In 2 years, maybe 3, they will be porting to PC again is my prediction.
