Wish they’d focus more on bringing PC games to their console rather than the other way around. Though I guess it’s not like they can force devs to port their games. Does anyone smarter than me know what this would actually takenfrom Sony to incentivize devs to port PC games to PS5? I have nearly zero understanding of ports aside from it’s not simple because of the hardware/architecture and OS being different.
PS5 library could use more games, and while, yes, a computer can certainly do more and be more powerful (for a price) a console is a dedicated device that usually does its job with zero hassle or fanangling. While PC gamers love to rag on consoles, the market for them exists for a reason.
It definitely is something I miss. No compiling shaders, no frame skipping, tweaking with settings. No issues with controllers not pairing. It just worked. Expensive way to game though all added up.

This generation of consoles is the closest ever to PC in terms of hardware. Same with OS support. It’s a lot of work to get games past Sony’s reviews and stuff, and you gotta do it with every update, I think that’s why most smaller devs don’t bother. On top of having to support a big and inexperienced audience.

I just hope they don’t fuck it up because that seems like something they would do in every wrong way possible
If it requires yet another stupid launcher, I’m out.
How would it not? There is not currently a ps5 games launcher on PC for them to issue your games to.
I think a launcher is a minor problem to have games available on both platforms. This would move so many people I know over to PC gaming.
Console market finally crumbling
it does not suggest PC and PS5. We don’t know what cross-buy refers to. It could be for their upcoming handheld and PS5 / PS6 maybe.

Lol, what?
