Very true.

for me - multiplat games worth keeping are definitely pc. 
Exclusives and 1 and done multiplat is PS 

Agreed. Mostly all of the multiplats are very VFM on PC. And you get best graphics and performance as well. So for me only exclusives and 'some' games on PS....rest of all on PC.

Exactly, PS basically has very bad pricing for all of these games that are on both platforms. 

From Deathloop to Kena, Sifu and list is endless. If you have PC then you should get these games on PC rather than PS.

Specially when the game costs 1/3 of the price of PS. (for Kena)

 

 

Same can be said for Nintendo switch games, which are available on steam. 

 

 

Steam has regional pricing. Nothing can beat steam when it comes to pricing and sales. The reason I am bullish about steam deck.

Err.  It’s a pc game as well.  🤷🏽‍♂️

I did say king of the consoles, and not king of gaming.

Playstation funded this title with exclusivity & marketing deal.

 

They deserve some credit for its existence.

Yes exactly. Had it not been for marketing by Sony, the game would probably have gone under the radar.

Not only marketing but providing upfront money in exchange for exclusivity also helps developers who need it. 
 

Without Sony’s involvement games like this,Nier,No Man’s Sky,Nioh,SFV,DeathStranding,Deathloop,Sifu,Ghostwire,Final Fantasy 7R,Forespoken,FF16 wouldn’t have been greenlit.

 

Even in PSone,PS2 era Sony backed a lot of third party games namely GTA,MGS,DMC & what not.

 

Credit should be given whenever due.

No, SE would have made them regardless. You do realize FF7 is regarded as one of the greatest RPGs of all time, if not the greatest? And FF15 sold over 9.5 million units. Final Fantasy is one of the biggest names in RPGs.

 

For games such as Kena, I agree Sony had a major role in Marketing. They treated it as a flagship title for ps5 and justifiably so. The game is beautiful.

Final Fantasy 16 maybe yes.

But Final Fantasy 7R.

Was apparently as much as Sony’s brainchild as SE’s.

 

From the announcement to marketing (to probably funding)…..Sony was just involved too much.
