Darn.
Was really hoping my PC would do for playing future Horizon (not Hunters Gathering) and GoW games.
Didn’t need a PS5, but I guess Sony doesn’t want my money anymore.
Too bad.
We have PS4 emulation already, thanks to Bloodborne fans. With enough patience you will be able to play it on pc
I don’t think the upcoming games are coming to PS4.
The Forbidden West DLC was already PS5/PC exclusive.
Went decades without them. Didn’t really play the ones that did become available… No loss as far as I’m concerned.
As someone who played them all voraciously on PS5 then downloaded their repacks once they became available to mod the fuck out of them to give them new life to me, this hurts a lot.
Don’t worry, this is not the first time they’ve done this. They’ll be back.
They released Lego Horizon on Nintendo Switch. Marathon will even come to Xbox.
So you paid for them on PS5 but pirated them on PC? Great job telling Sony you don’t want PC versions.
Buddy I barely have enough money for food and rent, last thing I’m doing is spending money to play the same single player game twice. Sony know computer players have steam and are frugal, that is why they are okay with abandoning the market while the going is tough for the average working class denizen of Earth. God knows they were never getting my money twice and so did Sony.
PS what are you trying to accomplish with this comment? Is it fun to just openly shill for capitalism?
Yeah, I unlike the OP don’t like online games. I love story not just randomly shooting at things.
The only ones I was remotely interested we’re Demons souls remake (which never came to PC) and Bloodborne remake (which never happened in the first place). For the rest of Sony games I gave most of them a fair shot but none of them made me think “wow, this was a must play”.
Returnal is very good. Otherwise, Meh
Bloodborne remake (which never happened in the first place)

I’ve found that most of their games are overpriced and take years to lose their value, as well as being more demanding of hardware then their image quality suggests. Still, a shame to lose a publisher doing AAA single player games that aren’t live service slop.
Which of their games don’t run well on 8-year old mid range hardware? The last of us remakes built for ps5?
PS makes pretty much all my favorite PC games so that’s unfortunate for me.
Hey Sony, you know what’s going to happen?
People are just not gonna play those games instead of buying a PS5 to play them.
Congrats on setting your money on fire.
Yeah, but the sad part is the games and the people who made them will get the short end of this stupid decision. The dipshit executives will see poor sales for such and such game and decide people didn’t like the game, rather than that their dipshit decision drove away customers. Best case they decide to meddle harder in future releases, further enshitifying their games and hurting game developers.
Sony’s strategy has been all over the place. This should have been the stance at the launch of PS5, if anything, not now.
I bought all of their consoles up to the PS4 but never got the use out of them that I did with my PC.
When they started releasing games on PC they (Sony) started getting money from me again because the games are great. But I guess they didn’t like that! And since I’m not buying a console, because they’re a scam, they won’t be getting my money.
Their loss. I won’t buy a PS5 or later anyway.
LOL.
I mean, oh no! What will I do now? I only have a hundred thousand other games I can play now.
Guess I’ll just not play PlayStation games now and go spend my money on amazing indie titles that seem to blow everything else out of the water these days.
I still haven’t gotten around to playing GTA5 or RDR2, and I own them on PC.
Too many companies try to make it feel like you should be beholden to them because they made one game you like. Nope, it’s the platform (PC) for me. If you’re not making games for it anymore, your loss. I’m gonna find something else to play, not follow you around where you want.
Okay, they will sell less games.
Guess I’ll have to find some indie devs to give my money too.
Honestly with the number of old games I have and the number of new awesome games on Steam, I am set for life. Sony, i need you not
I have been throwing money at them non stop, keep it up indie devs!
Disappointing, though ultimately a small part of my PC library in the end. Enjoyed Horizon Zero Dawn and loved both parts of The Last of Us. Yet they never did bring over The Last Guardian, Bloodborne, or Bluepoint’s remakes (I played the original Shadow of the Colossus and Demon’s Souls).
Intergalactic is the only upcoming title I’m interested in, and that’s nowhere enough for me to spend on a PS5.
Sony saw Xbox effectively exiting the console industry and said “excellent, now we have a monopoly on the space, we can make all our games console-exclusive.” This is why, loathe as I am to admit it, it was a good thing for a competitive ecosystem for Microsoft to still be in the race. But since they decided to cap themselves…
Guess I’ll have to buy a Steam Machine in a few years when RAM is available again.
My read on this is that they don’t think the price of consumer components is ever going to come down, and that they’re not going to waste resources on something they think is going to become a marginalized platform.
Side note: the AI bubble cannot pop soon enough. Fuck Ai.
In this AI bubble Playstation is also a marginalized platform. Sony is also struggling under the memory shortage and rumors are the PS6 has been pushed forward another year because you can’t launch a new platform in this economy. They will fare better because they can make special deals to get the hardware they want, but at what price? If PS6 starts costing something like $700 they’re not going to be all that successful.
Eh, even if PC/component sales drop to zero, PC will still be the biggest platform with hundreds of millions of active users.
Oh no, but the PC has no games
I have not bought a Sony console since the PlayStation 2. I’ve “missed” a fair few games already. The ones that end up worth playing always seem to make their way to PC eventually.
In no world am I buying a PS5 so I guess FAFO
