I can wait literally forever to play a console exclusive and I won't have to because emulation.

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.

A simple fact that consoles require a monthly subscription to play anything with friends is why they will never reach PC gaming.

I paid for hardware, I paid for the game, I pay for the internet; fuck your subscription just to join an online server you contribute nothing to.

What does he think the mental process is? "Oh Spiderman 2 dropped I'm going to buy a PS5 and play that immediately"?

Nah, the process is, "Oh Spiderman 2 dropped? Oh it's console exclusive? Guess I'll play looks at the hundreds of unplayed games in my steam library The same 3 games I always play while I wait."

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

I have spider-man 2 on my gamecube, why do I need a ps5?

We (PC gamers) have a wide swath of hardware and input preferences that consoles do not even make an ATTEMPT to accommodate. Then there’s the predatory “pay us a subscription to play online” thing, too.

Most PC gamers will just completely skip consoles rather than play games like that. Our patience is eternal and without end.

NO STEAM DECK NO PLAY

I have waited this long for Bloodborne on pc I think I can wait a little longer

Gaming PCs are almost universally faster and more powerful than any gaming consoles, no matter how flashy and prettily designed. (Hell, even mid tier PCs generally kick the ass of most consoles) So why the hell would a PC gamer downgrade their gaming experience by wasting their money on a console?

No Sony. You had every chance to win me over and you blew it.

Could I buy a PlayStation. Yes. Will I, no. I lost interest in PlayStation back during the PS3. That console saw more Blu-rays and DVDs than games. Never bought a PS4.

And if/when this or any other formerly exclusive games come to PC, it has to compete with current release PC titles, but itself will be judged as an older title. It doesn't matter to me if it's new to the platform. I won't be paying new game price for a port of an old title.

To be fair, I do have to keep my wife from getting a PS5 for the FF7 remake games. SE will eventually release them on PC, and modders will fix whatever shit port job they do this time.

However, this does not come from a place of logic; she wants to see Cloud and Sephiroth fuuuuuuck.

Heh. That's cute. Pissing off players by cutting them off from their games has been going sooo well for them.

Playstation CEO doesn't play games or else they would know how much more flexible PC gaming is for the user. They are hoping people will slum it with console locked ecosystems and non-moddable games using hardware that never improves.

If it was a couple of hundred bucks maybe

But $500 plus the $70 game? Not a chance.

Oh I can wait.

I've waited for Alan Wake 2. I've waited for countless of other games, time is on my side.

I have so many games in my backlog and on my steam wishlist, I dont really even care if some great game will miss steam. However, I will buy good games without denuvo and sometimes I can even pay the full price upon release. Rare, but a few times a year this can happen.

I have enough many other games to play on PC. I’m not going to buy a new expensive device just to play a few extra games.

I'm not playing games unless they're down 50% since launch. 😏

The fact that we got any games was an unexpected bonus, we already have plenty

Oh boy I can see the new management is gonna work out great.

i think he underestimates my intention to never do that

I am so patient that I won't buy these games until they put them 50% or more off.

I just leave them on my wishlist. My computer is 9 years old and it is still better than even the next gen will be. Why would I pay for a downgraded computer with a crap operating system.

I hate consoles

Even some of us with PS5s and PCs both might wait two years since it's pretty easy to get (non Denuvo) PC games free...

I have enough games in my steam library that I could never buy another game, and be perfectly content. I'm quite willing to wait as long as it takes for a game to not only be brought to steam, but to get a major sale or be featured in a game bundle. Only difference is that if it takes too long, I'll never get it at all because I'll have better options.

You see, I don't play games on consoles because I don't like controllers.

I mean, I'll use them in some scenarios, but the position I need to sit in to hold a controller is usually uncomfortable.

I've been playing PC games since the 90's. I picked up an Xbox one S, and even set it up, and it's been very good at collecting dust since I bought it. I got it used, so no big loss, but still.

I'm not going to pay $500+ for another dust collector, just to have the privilege to pay extra for games, and be uncomfortable playing them, then have no option to switch to a PC later because I only own that game on the stupid console.

It's a waste of my time and money.

And if I really want to play a game with a controller, I can do that on my PC too.

Simply, if I buy a game on console, I'm forced to use that console and it's controller, to play. If I buy it on PC, I can play it however the fuck I want to, on any system I want to. Fuck your exclusivity deals, and fuck you.
