It would be well received. The last batch of Sony games ran pretty decent

After the initial trouble with the Zero Dawn port (which they actually put in the work to fix), the ports have been stellar.
The extensive accessibility settings and configurable graphics have been even more accommodating than some PC-only titles.
And sony has been releasing drivers for the PS controllers so that ported PS5 games could still access and use the unique features on the DS5 controller, even when not running on an PS5. And not just on windows, but on Linux too. Sony has been going out of their way to not just bring the games over, but to explicitly support unique features they could have locked down and made exclusive to PS consoles.
Getting to play with the half/full adaptive trigger pull for main/secondary fire in Rift Apart on PC, was really cool.
It almost feels too good to be true in comparison to companies like Apple and Nintendo.
Don't forget the mess of The Last of Us, which as far as I know still runs like shit.
There were issues with Ratchet and Clank at launch as well.
Split between „yay, less exclusivity“ and „eww, aggressively improve profits“.
How do we abolish shareholder primacy?
Eat the rich
Thats one solution for sure. Probably not gonna fly though. Any other ideas?
Fresh out unfortunately.
Ok, Sony. Then where the fuck is Ghost of Tsushima PC then? I've already platinumed it twice on my PS4 and 5, and I still want to give you more money to play it again. Why the fuck is the PC port still not out yet?
Repeat above for Bloodborne. Why has Bloodborne not been remastered for PS5 yet or ported to PC? You're literally leaving millions on the table by letting that game wither.
It’s coming in May :D
Give me Days Gone 2 you cowards
Only if its new protagonists. Deacon and Sarah were kinda lame.
wher Bloodborne

I wonder if their long-term game is to open their own storefront on PC to better compete with Steam and Microsoft.
I think if they were to do that, simultaneous PC releases would be far more likely.
If they were to do that, and have cross platform purchases/saves (provided I could make it work reasonably on Linux), I would be way more likely to think about buying games from them.
The PS5 is a nice piece of hardware. You can do a lot of stuff better on PC, but the loading tech is still legit. But I'm not buying multi platform games on PS5 over Steam for a bunch of reasons (steam deck being the biggest, steam input being another, just generally the fact that my PC gives me a lot more future options and modding potential).
Even if they did the UWP locked file shit, being able to bring games from PS5 to Steam Deck to desktop would make them pretty competitive. And I'd start using them regardless for the library I already have.
I wish they'd release them at the same time like MS does with their first party stuff. Some of the Sony games take years to come to PC.
i itched to shit on sony's ports but they are ok actually, if a little unoptimized.
keep them coming, exclusivity sucks and the ports work well.
Well it's about time they released more. There are still plenty of games PC players are waiting to hear on
