It is not timing alone. I personally see two major reasons, both equally impactful for Sony’s first party games not being very successful on PC overall. The first and most obvious is timing, yes. Sony builds all the marketing around the PlayStation version, launches the game exclusively on PlayStation, and then years later, tries to revive the hype without any meaningful marketing push and releases it on Steam at nearly the same price people paid on day one. What Sony has been trying to do for years with its Steam releases is basically trying to have it both ways at the same time. That approach has not worked, and it never will. The second reason, and PlayStation fans might not like this, is that Sony overestimates the value of its first party games compared to how the broader gaming audience actually sees them. Games like Uncharted, God of War from 2018 onward, and The Last of Us do have strong appeal, but mainly among the Western PlayStation audience. This is especially true for gaming journalists, who tend to favor cinematic experiences filled with cutscenes with less focus on gameplay and more emphasis on emotional storytelling. That kind of structure also makes it easier to build reviews and reinforces their ideals, which are generally aligned with progressivism, through their narratives. All of this while titles like Demon’s Souls and Bloodborne would likely be massive hits on Steam, yet Sony still refuses to bring them to a platform that would certainly embrace them more than PlayStation ever did. Marketing campaigns for those cinematic titles do not resonate as strongly with PC players in general. PC audiences tend to prefer games that focus more on gameplay mechanics, as well as multiplayer experiences which also demand stronger hardware performance. The priorities are simply different. The PC market is extremely competitive, and Sony needs to understand that its games are not automatically seen as something special outside its own ecosystem. So either it launches its games day one on PC with proper marketing directed at Steam users, or it releases them later at a significantly lower price. As things stand, the relatively modest sales numbers are not surprising at all.

Crimson Desert exploration is unmatched 🗺️

14 days after the release of Crimson Desert. How would you rate the game (1-10)?

One change Crimson Desert DESPERATELY needs is that Damiane & Oongka should be able to use Axiom Force/Force Palm. It’s pointless that only Kliff can do it. Cause you run into quests or stuff in the world like puzzles & Damiane/Oongka can’t do them, so why play them? Seems like a massive oversight imo

This US soldier just ended three generations of a family. 💔😳

Need a honest opinion, What's stopping humans to just live in peace together ?

🚨 BREAKING: 🇮🇷 Iran warns if Palestinian prisoners are executed, Israeli and American prisoners held in Iran, Lebanon, and Iraq will also be executed.

you can't even not want to watch fanservice anymore without an army of 23+ straight white men telling you that 16 year olds in biknis is actually the pinnacle of fiction

What was that 😂

The funniest part is watching clowns from a country endlessly praised for “politeness” lose their minds over a Thai man making instant noodles before paying for them, then paying anyway. No theft. No loss. No victim. Just a different social habit. And yet the reaction was racist, hysterical, and soaked in superiority. So perhaps the real issue is this: some people can only appear civilized inside an environment where everyone already knows the script. The moment difference appears, courtesy collapses into contempt. Therefore, most Asians don't really understand the Japanese. This is a nation that is hypocritical to the extreme. Their culture and writing system originated from China, yet they never learned China’s sense of dignity, strength, or self-respect. They believe that by pretending to be humble and polite, they can pass as a civilized people. But their inherent brutality is deeply embedded in their history of invasions and even in their modern works. Japanese anime loves to romanticize cherry blossoms, portraying them as beautiful and fleeting, yet they never forget to remind people that beneath those trees lie corpses. The more blood the cherry blossoms absorb, the more vividly they bloom. In the end, Japan’s so-called ‘civility’ is nothing more than a thin mask that hides a history of violence and subjugation. They bow deeply, but their knives are always sharpened. Without true self-respect and accountability, their obedience to Western power exposes their lack of identity and national pride, their racism and discrimination against Asians are just a cover-up for their country’s geopolitical marginalization and their obsession with their self-perceived superiority as "white Asians."
