Sony doesn't pay for "free" PS+ games on their console launcher?
Is there a point here?
psn is a subscription service, like netflix. Epic gives them for free.

Well the PlayStation launcher wouldn't.psn is a subscription service, like netflix. Epic gives them for free.
That sucks.I don't agree with the sentiment whatsoever.
Nobody was calling out Sony for not releasing their 1st party games on other platforms.
These shit hot takes make no sense and the stretching is really annoying.
Because if they don't they will be struggling soon.But why? It's not like they're struggling financially, PlayStation is very healthy right now with a massive install base on PS4. Why is there this great need to do things different?
Well the PlayStation launcher wouldn't.
So it was really an aside or deflection from my real point.
Because if they don't they will be struggling soon.
They were very close to going under during the PS3 era and they won't forget it soon.
Money means more then people every time.
And why would thirdparties publish their games there. We are not entering an era of an default launcher on pc. Quite the contrary. The future is in mulitple storfronts. Where every third party has their own store.
says who?
PC is basically all digital and the games are cheaper then console lifetime and day one. Those games will also work forever unlike consoles where you might be locked into that ecosystem. That's where people were against all digital. There was the slow internet speed argument but since almost all games need a large day one patch the disc isn't what it use to be.Didn't the whole internet rebel against the all-digital future the last time around? When did people become okay with it? Especially with all the problems Stadia's had?
I will

This is a bunch of mumbo jumbo. Walled gardens, eco systems. Bollocks through and through. Sony can only loose by entering the pc sphere.
There is no future for sony in pc gaming. How are they going to extract 30% of every fifa, gta, cod sold on pc. They cant. That is how they make money. Ea, rockstar have their own storefronts on pc. They dont need no fucking ecosystem.
Exclusives exist to sell consoles. No one expected to make money of a game like ico, shadow of the colossus. Its there to make the playstation platform more attractive as a whole, to fill gaps. To sell more playstation. So playstation becomes more attractive to third parties, so sony can take a cut on every game sold on playstation.
Leaking exclusives to pc is going to make playstation less attractive to hardcore gamers. Which is going to lead to slower adoption of ps5. Which will make ps5 less attractive to thirdparties and casual gamers.
People quit buying your console because they can buy the games on PC. You miss out on billions on the cut of sale of third party games. It is really easy for them to lose. No ps plus fees the games will be discounted since they are old. No extra boxes around the house. The only one who does not lose is valve who gets lots of new customers.Wrong. Oh so wrong.
What is the disadvantadge to Sony releasing their exclusives, a year or maybe two years after they have come out on their consoles? It would have already sold gangbusters on consoles, and can then make a few extra million sales perhaps by releasing it on PC, on every storefront there is.
There really is no way to fail with this strategy
You really think PS gamers are drop what they are doing, buy a PC, and 2 years later buy the PC version of UC or God of War?People quit buying your console because they can buy the games on PC.

Care to elaborate? In what way are consoles holding gaming back?I wish that was true, cause consoles are holding games back.
Considering Sony thinks enough of their users might switch to PC to bring out the pro this generation should answer that question. A year or 2 is not much a wait for a single player game. Especially on PC with the enormous catalog of games.You really think PS gamers are drop what they are doing, buy a PC, and 2 years later buy the PC version of UC or God of War?
Considering how big Sony first party games sell (front loaded), it shows the games are hot sellers in month one. Not slow sellers like Minecraft or GTA that linger around for years.Considering Sony thinks enough of their users might switch to PC to bring out the pro this generation should answer that question.

Low fps.Care to elaborate? In what way are consoles holding gaming back?
Console game locked to 30FPS means the PC port is also locked to 30FPS? Maybe in a very small number of games this happens. If it's a common occurence, that's news to me.Low fps.
MLB the show...
The backlash to game streaming really comes down to two things IMO:When streaming becomes the norm and it's current shortfalls are fixed physical hardware will become not as important as the games and the platform you are on will be irrelevant
Sony as a whole company would be looking at ways to reduce costs and developing/manufacturing gaming consoles can be expensive and this digital locker and streaming would not only remove cost but increase their userbase
Yet...Sony doesn't own MLB.
I'd love to see where Sony bought all of Major League Baseball btw
Q quest Not really... Sony simply sees that 4k is something gamers want from Sony published titles, thus they made a box that plays 4K titles..... So That has more to do with 4K, then it does PC in general as PC isn't ONLY about 4K to argue making a 4K console is based on some fear of PC or something.
Come on dude don't be so naive, you know good and well there is a risk in Sony releasing their exclusives to other platforms. Granted it's not the end of the world, Sony's not going to loose their entire install base in one night or some crazy mess like that.Wrong. Oh so wrong.

Never claimed Sony own MLB lol. The poster i was replying to claimed Sony would never develop or publish a game that would run on Xbox. Last i checked MLB the show is developed by SIE San Diego Studio and the publisher are SIE. It is what it is.
MLB probably pressured Sony to expand the user base.Never claimed Sony own MLB lol. The poster i was replying to claimed Sony would never develop or publish a game that would run on Xbox. Last i checked MLB the show is developed by SIE San Diego Studio and the publisher are SIE. It is what it is.
That's not what I said at all. I said that they would never develop a title that would run locally on Xbox and smartphones, which is what the OP of this thread claimed would happen through the magic of "universal coding".The poster i was replying to claimed Sony would never develop or publish a game that would run on Xbox.

That mentality is what makes companies go bankrupt.Seems like an oxymoron
on top of that, i seriously doubt Sony and their 100+ install base need to be forced to do anything.
Didn't Sega bow out of the PC market (outside the football game and the war game) after their games sold like shit? (last year)That mentality is what makes companies go bankrupt.

Yes Sony HAS to go FULL PC because...digital locker! Y...yes!

I did mention yawn war. Which next to the soccer title is Sega's best selling PC title. (and only)Last I checked Total War is still huge and selling.
If Sony didn't release games on PC they would be at a disadvantage in the digital locker age. in the digital locker age hardware will not matter you will just buy the software & play it wherever you like but it would be pointless for people to choose to by from Sony if their licence only worked for PS5.
This is where we are headed

How big of a game changer would it be if Sony is using a large amount of ReRAM as the PS5 SSD?
Yep. I thought about it the second they announced SSDs. The problem would be: no PC support. The assets will be highly hardware specific, multiplatform games will not do it... That's a very good point. The PC and console versions of the game would have to operate differently. Perhaps this is...www.neogaf.com
Sony is not forced to do anything. Given their loyal fanbase Sony can be as arrogant as they want without any consequences.
It's pretty simple, to make money. From every avenue they can. That's why they do everything from electronics to insurance and financial services.I don't understand Sony's long term goals.

It's every companies goal, and finding new ways to siphon it from you is their objective.
I think their just simply trying to see if there's a demand for their games on PC. Their goal is to launch a "PlayStation Store", to rival Steam and Epic Store.
Store is the new money maker, Apple, Google, Amazon, Disney, EA, Steam, Netflix, etc everyone wants a slice. It is the future.
Why would any third party accept you to buy a single license and play on both PC and PS/Xbox? I do not think they have the leverage to impose it... neither of them I mean.
Im pretty sure there have been 3rd party play anywhere games already. So obviously there is some interest from publishers.
It will be how ever they can get it to work. In my mind the answer is universal coding or recompiling the code to work on the hardware you have.
It also makes reference to a DualShock controller which would include a screen for play 'on the go' like a traditional handheld console, and asks users if an offline version of Remote Play would be appealing – how this would work in reality remains to be seen, however.
And here we go
