    Steam users are the base everyone desires to get to but no one wants to pay the toll to Valve for building the platform gamers want.

      maybe because Steam is kind of a shitty platform and valve an abusive landlord. Shocking, i know.

    Fixed title:

    PlayStation's CEO drastically overestimates the PC crowd's wallet capacity, thinks PC gamers will buy an inferior, overpriced, locked down PC that can only play specific games on a non-replacable proprietary OS with planned obsolescence for when the PS6 comes out

    Oh that reminds me, didn't Horizon Forbidden West finally come out for real this year? I think they had some sort of limited beta on some proprietary hardware in 2022 and 2023.

    I bought a PSP just to play GOW Ghost of Sparta, PS2 just to play God of War 2 and PS3 just to play God of War 3 back in the day, since it seemed it was impossible for God of War titles to come to PC ever since the older titles. Same impossibility as a Pokemon game being released to PC.

    I was also planning to get a PS4 just for God of War too; but then it got hinted that a PC release was possible through the Geforce Now leak. Ever since then I know any future titles won't be that exclusive; so why would I even bother buying a PS4, or PS5?

    Good games sell their consoles.
