@SChulsky @ymnis_v1 Can’t even power that on without spending another $1,000+. Even then can’t play GTA VI. Waste of money no games for it

@ymnis_v1 This outperforms the pro for far less.

@snacksdash @eurogamer Point? PC is simply better

Cual eligen al mismo precio? PC -Jugar a 200 FPS -Steam -Online Gratis -Mas juegos -Podes hacer todo PlayStation 5 -GTA 6

PC dudes *really* think console gamers are stuck with $70 and $70 games only, as if ways to save are exclusive to PC. Don't tell them about game share, physical used market, borrowed games, subscription catalogs, trade-ins, or just regular fucking store sales.

@superhys @alineaanalytics Cheaper on PS5. Steam Sales overrated

Death Stranding 2's Steam port has helped the game pass 2M copies sold and $150M in gross revenue overall (@alineaanalytics estimates) The port has extended DS2’s product lifecycle, with the Steam version selling 425K copies in its first week. Adding this to the 1.6M copies sold on PS5, the game’s total volume now sits at over 2M. This means the Steam version of Death Stranding 2 already accounts for 21% of copies. In terms of revenue, Death Stranding 2 has generated over $110M on PS5 and $32.6M on Steam. With Epic included, it’s safe to say Death Stranding 2 has now passed $150M. Players are getting sucked into Death Stranding 2 on PC. In a week, it has an average playtime of 18 hours. Over a third of the player base on Steam has already played for 20 hours or more, and almost 5% has played for over 50 hours. Fair play. Death Stranding 2 has especially been a hit on Steam in China, which accounts for almost half of the game’s Steam players. This highlights a strategic advantage Sony would otherwise forfeit by skipping PC; it’s a direct pipeline to a massive, high-intent Chinese audience that’s increasingly influential in a game’s total lifecycle. To me, the quicker rollout of Death Stranding 2 and Stellar Blade on Steam suggests Sony is running a live A/B test on the long-term ROI of the PC ecosystem. Using second-party titles as the tests, PlayStation can measure exactly how much platform decay occurs when a high-profile exclusive moves to PC in under a year, without risking the crown jewels of its first-party stable. All this ahead of that reported move away from PC, too. One outcome I could see happening – and what I’d do –is that Sony tiers its releases in the following way: - Core first-party single-player IP, the tentpole titles from Naughty Dog or Santa Monica Studios, remain gated as console exclusives to maintain hardware pull and protect the box’s value proposition for the enthusiast crowd. This becomes even more critical as Sony prepares to launch its next generation of consoles and handhelds, where a distinct reason to own the hardware is the primary sales driver. - Live-service games will still launch multiplatform to maximise network effects and player liquidity. Live-ops costs are nuts and require a critical mass that a single console ecosystem can’t provide. - Second-party partnerships like Kojima and Shift Up offer a strategic middle ground. These allow Sony to capture the PC surge and build organic relationships with these studios before moving toward a formal acquisition, effectively using Steam as a proving ground for an IP’s global reach. Organic acquisitions like this (Insomniac) have worked better in the past for PlayStation than buy-and-hope ones (like Bungie). I also suspect the original play for PlayStation involved the development of a proprietary PC launcher to reclaim the 30% margin currently lost to Valve. While the initial friction surrounding mandatory account linking for Helldivers 2 created a PR hurdle, I reckon it was the first step in a broader attempt to centralise the PlayStation ecosystem across hardware boundaries (and away from third parties like Valve). As market dynamics shift toward a more platform-agnostic future, Sony has to decide if it wants to remain a premier storefront or a premier publisher. If the results from Death Stranding 2 are any indication, the most profitable path lies in being both. Sony can essentially have its cake and eat it here, provided it can manage the optics of its console exclusivity while treating Steam as a high-conversion top-of-funnel for the second-party side.

@Battlefield6hub It much needed! Yep pc hackers ruin experience big time

Why doesn't BF6 have this? It would make the console experience so much better... #battlefield #battlefield6

@oliver_drk GTA VI Exclusives sell!

@Zuby_Tech GTA Exclusive effect on Pro wow

@Zen3Master Exclusives sell

Right before that price increase just to sit until GTA drop

@Glassdoorgamer PC fans hype a storefront with no upcoming big games. While telling you to pay 4x the price to play 3rd party games lol

PC exclusives vs PlayStation exclusives. 😆

@PCMR_Elitist You paid thousands and can’t even play it. 🤡

PlayStation is the one that pushed the $70 price tag into the mainstream in the first place, and I blame you people, for allowing them to get away with it.

@Tomasz870354 @Marble19841 Where’s your 2024 GOTY?

@Marble19841 The PC game library is larger than all consoles combined, ever since the first console released by Atari.

PC retards are foaming at the mouth because a console got more expensive and it’s hilarious. They’re writing essays yet PC has zero games for me to even consider switching. Can’t wait for GTA6 to launch.

@rdd147 Fake news

🚨 RAM prices are plummeting after OpenAi failed to fulfill its commitment to purchase 40% of World supply and terminated its $71 billion SKHynix promise. $MU

@Pirat_Nation Refuses to make games. So much losing

Valve has updated its Steam pricing tools for developers. They now offer three ways to set regional prices for games: - Simple currency exchange rate - Purchasing power parity (based on what people can actually afford) - A mix of multiple data sources For a $60 USD game, this can mean very different prices in other countries, like €51, €43, or €62 in parts of Europe. The change is optional. Existing games stay the same unless updated.

@Marble19841 Paying thousands for decade old games. Nah I’ll play GTA VI in November 😎
