Just about every Sony first party game has already been on PC - through PS Now. The difference lately is now certain exclusives are being released in full.
God War, UC4 and LL, Bloodborne, Spiderman, KZ and many others already on PC PS Now at some point in time or still there. Oddly, some come and go, but some have been there for years.

Calm down, it will probably be a select few older games that are easy enough to port.
Horizon took 3.5 years to come to PC and the port apparently isn't great.
You really think PC and PlayStation owners like myself are going to wait years for an outsourced port that is probably going to be full-price? It's a nice option for hardcore PC players who have no interest in consoles for whatever reason.

Yeah but we mean on PC and able to take advantage of the better hardware.

PS5 will be better than 95% of rigs out there when it releases and the SSD will be king for many years, games made specifically for the SSD will not be easily ported to PC.

The radical Sony fanboy stages of denial.
1. "It's not gonna be released on anything else but PS4. Buy one or miss out."
2. "All the PC port rumors are just bullshit. This is a Sony first party title and they don't do PC."
3. "This is a one-time deal. Don't think you're getting anything else."
4. "Hah. I bet the port will be Epic storefront exclusive."
5. "What?! It's on Steam and there's more coming!?! That's just Sony hyping the inevitable PS5 sequels."
6. "Exploring the option to expand their PC offerings even further? They probably won't do much as they're not straight out confirming anything."
As it was said - "there's no need to be upset".

WTF? Only problems I had with Horizon on PC (and that was without any patch) was that it probably didn't run as good as it could (still 55-65 FPS in 1080p ultrawide on FS monitor) and there still is no snow deformation and that pisses me off (it's in DS). Animations are fixed now in the latest patch I think
And this game plays much better than PS4 version in much higher framerate, bigger FOV, ultrawide and super low input lag. They will fix most issues eventually and won't outsource major games like this anymore.

I presume this is the new " bad Sony news" everyone was expecting in light of recent events?
Also, does anyone give a shiny shit as to whether PS games eventually go to PC..?
Seems to be a few on here gleefully tilting at windmills.

What is the model of that lawnmower? I always dreamed of a flying lawnmower!
I am not going to care if it works for them--but it goes against how I always understood the relationship between a platform holder and the exclusive content that they produce to differentiate from other platforms.
Then again, MS has a Mac version of office, and more importantly I have not seen Sony's internal numbers on the predicted effects of releasing their games on PC.
I imagine the equation is something like this:
($value of units sold on PS hardware + $ value of units) - expected $ value of units sold on PS hardware - (expected impact on hardware sales + platform revenue from PS units not sold)
Those numbers depend in how big the overlap between PC and console players is, and how the impact is affected by this move. This is a bold move for Sony, MS did not have much to lose when they did the same.

Let's stop this BS parade:
PSB: PlayStation is no stranger to publishing titles on the PC, but Horizon: Zero Dawn is one of the largest games to make that leap. Is there anything you would say to PlayStation fans? What does it mean for the future?
HH: Sure. I think it's important that we stay open to new ideas of how to introduce more people to PlayStation, and show people maybe what they've been missing out on.
And to maybe put a few minds at ease, releasing one first-party AAA title to PC doesn't necessarily mean that every game now will come to PC. In my mind, Horizon Zero Dawn was just a great fit in this particular instance. We don't have plans for day and date [PC releases], and we remain 100% committed to dedicated hardware.

But this is true, though. Exploring something isn't confirmed it will come. If that happens, that will be port of few years old games. Not a new ones.

If Naughty Dog went to PC I'd for sure go PC next gen which means all the third party games I'd of got on the PS5 Sony won't get a 30% cut. It's more of a hardcore gamer that would switch to such an expensive platform but those hardcore gamers would generally spend more on games, do there is some debate to be had.
From a business perspective its risky, from a gamer perspective it's amazing.

I don't think anyone here has claimed that each and every first party Sony game will come to PC. Nor that they will release future games at the exact same time as the console versions.

Agree with this. HZD got a poor rep from coming out the same week as BOTW and the PC release has got people saying it was a good game in its own right. HZD was not in the frame for game of the year 2017 and now it's appreciated. Days Gone is an excellent game provided you didn't play it day 1, without the patches it was rough as a dog's bollix

Sure, just reading the writing on the wall here-don't have a crystal ball with all of the answers. I don't think it is a long ways away though.
If I had to guess? Next 5 years. I think you'll see games launching on PC a year later at first, then three months later, then simultaneous. Day 1 launches on PS Now? That might be a little while longer but I imagine it will be happening by mid point of the following generation. It not might not be everything either-could see massive titles like TLOU hold out on PS Now for a year before coming to the service. I don't anticipate that it will be a one size fits all approach at first.
I don't anticipate that streaming will out right replace consoles either. Console-PC-Streaming to TV/Laptop/Phone...different markets for each. Even with really good steaming tech there will still be people that choose a dedicated piece of hardware.
They are clearly saying that this is to increase revenue. Older ports aren't going to move the needle on revenue growth. Newer games will sell much better. This isn't a release our old stuff on PC so people buy a PS5 strategy. PCs and consoles are imperfect substitutes for most users. The consumption preferences of a PC user are usually such that they value the PC experience (graphics, controls, customization, etc) over console exclusives. Most won't be willing to buy a PS5 to play Horizon 2. It just isn't enough to convince someone. Same goes for most console users who value ease of setup most when shopping for video games. The average person just wants to buy a box for their TV to play games vs setting up a PC.
There are people that move between the two but they are few and far between. Frankly the number of people that you could pull away from PC wouldn't be worth the cost of porting older titles to PC. This is a play to increase revenue by making their games accessible to a whole new market. It's about being able to sell 18MM copies of Horizon 2 across PS5 and PC vs 10MM to just PS5 owners or 10.5MM to PS5 owners and people they "converted" from PC.
If this is a revenue play then it isn't just old games but new stuff that will really drive lots of sales.
A platform available on multiple devices. Like Netflix. They'll be device agnostic. You'll be logging into your PS account to stream on your phone, play games on PC, or play on console. It's about meeting the customer where they are. Lots of people who aren't on console and aren't interested in buying a console but will buy PlayStation games/services if they are made available on PC or Mobile.
It is similar to adding a drive thru/to go. There are a lot of people who would drive past a restaurant without stopping because they want to eat at home or on the go. By adding a drive thru you meet these new customers where they are and open yourself up to this market that wasn't buying your food before.
