If they didn't make money they wouldn't continue. Simmer on that logic Columbo..

Its not that the games sell particularly spectacular its just that the ROI is incredibly high since most of the workcis already done. For example horizon had over a 360% ROI when it debuted on pc

It's not that crazy, they're just porting a game and getting mostly profit, because they don't have to spend anything on actually creating a game. It's like being able to profit off of a ten year old movie, just by releasing it in theaters overseas. So of course they would, but I think that trend will only be lucrative to them for games already made.

1 million extra sales bring them ton of money yes.
The cost of porting and fixing bugs is definitely lower than the revenue brought from PC ports.
Remember that those games already broke even on PS. It's just bonus money for them.

"not likely most ps games on pc break past 1 million number they spend more money fixing shody ports like tlou on pc"

To be honest I'm not disagreeing with you on the TLOU port, that was done by the same guys that did the Batman PC port and that was kind of shit too, thing is Sony has a great track record of updating and fixing things on PC the best they can as fast as they can, I play on an ultra wide and thus far there games on PC have supported it very well.

Reality is, PC games as of late have been utter shit this year and for a while. Unless its a PC only type of game. The down trend in PC quality of games that are made for PS5 and Xbox first is kind of logical, PC does not make the kind of gaming $$$ it use too. Driver support and accounting for all the different hardware configurations alone is a mess. Hell it too Microsoft forever to fix 'ish' Halo MCC and the latest one on PC. This has always been the case with PC games, very rare does anything come out on PC that works perfectly with out issues, something as simple as one background application could mess things up, they can't force you to update drivers and have to develop things on a wildcard like environment. Though like others here have said, Mods on PC and such and the ability if you have the know how to fix things on your own and improve it is where PC really shines.

To be a real PC gamer you have to put in some work of your own, that is hard if not impossible for many who are not in the tech field to do, thus why all the cash for these places come from consoles first.

I am curious though to those of you here that maybe have AMD cards. Since both Sony and MS use AMD chips and drivers, I'd assume just by the nature from that to PC if you have the same hardware. "Both CPU and GPU" that there might be less issues. I'm on Intel and Nvidia still, and things work rather fine but its older more proven hardware... my other rig is Intel with an AMD GPU and there has been some weird cluster fuckery at times even thought that rig is more powerful on paper.

Just my 2 cents.

The XB rally cry going on how many years now? A scare tactic to devalue the PS hardware. The only day n date in the forseeable future will be service games, primarily f2p.

Delusional

We already know that doesnt work.

Believe it or not but most people don't care about petty console fanboy wars.

Not the same but similar and still makes them not exclusives. Nobody is spinning. MS fans are the only spinners.

It’s a pro Sony site bro. There’s going to be a double standard, but there’s a bit of a difference.

Sony will release on the PlayStation before porting to PC-as that’s a mostly Microsoft platform.

Microsoft will release on PC and Xbox at the same time as it’s their own platforms.

If Sony made PCs with their own operating system (or just an operating system that is widely used) they too would do a simultaneous release.

So to answer the question, why get an Xbox or PlayStation if everything will be available on PC eventually anyway? Because you prefer console gaming and in Sony’s case-because you’re going to play it now instead of later.

It's not the same though. Day n date everything for MS is not the same as some games 1-3 yrs after launch on PS. It's not. Just like Stellar Blade is not the same as Bethesda. Third party and or/timed single games vs IP banishment. Stop saying it's the same. It isn't.

How will it be spun?
The sonyboys simply tell you pc guys that you got to wait 2 or 3 years before you're going to get a Sony game .

So that makes everything ok right?
Lol

I don't think MS should have got crap for that, the main thing is Xbox runs a version of Windows as its OS and what do most people on PC play on, Windows. If I remember right Sony uses a type of Linux custom OS that is made to interface with there studios game engines. Consider the fact this is the first time, ever we seen any Sony games on PC, something no one thought that would happen is a good thing? MS has had Halo on PC for years, Gearbox did the old 1 and 2 ports of it back in the day. Even had some more maps and such then the Xbox version. MS back in the day use to be kind of PC gods with games, really miss those days but that was long before the Xbox.

Even today MS has tools that helps to kind of 'auto' port to some extent the XBSX to the S to an extent to help devs save time, they do have good tools for that and since its all Windows/Dos based they are in a much more controlled environment. Few seem to know this but MS helps alot of devs when it comes to compatibility and such between versions of windows and getting games to work on there OS. They have always been rather great at that. Anyone saying its not a 'true exclusive' is just fan boy talk, hell maybe way back in the day that made some sense? But now days? The lines are getting more and more blurry with each gen.

Also to your point more direct GamerDude82, All games are made on PC's then compiled to run on the dev kits and so on. I'd not worry too much about what people say in that regards, maybe I'm just old now days and seen things from the start, and how they have evolved.

Can you play day one any Sony exclusive?

You can play all Microsoft day one.

When it's on more then one platform it's not exclusive. Until it is, it's exclusive. Not that hard to understand

For single player games I would agree. The one thing now we know with the industry is when it comes to MP games you need lots of people fast, and got to keep them engaged. I can't say for sure since my buddy won't tell me but I have a feeling Last of Us Factions might come to PS and PC at the same date. That would make alot of sense to me. Staggering a Multi Player online game just does not seem smart to me. I don't bitch too much but I got really pissed when Street Fighter was a Sony Exclusive... Fighting games above all need players... sure it was a good flex for Sony but more people in games like that which already have a low player base compared to other types of games need a community right away and together.

Didn't even work for me, shown the £1 bit on the link provided then they went and tried to charge me full price, thankfully my bank flagged it and asked me to authorise the transaction which shown them trying to take the full £22.99
