  Oh no :(. I hope this doesn’t mean some BS with new games and having them be PS6,7,8 exclusive until they come to PC.

  No, sony, having titles exclusive to your Sony branded PC won’t make me buy a Sony branded PC when I’ve already got a PC.

    I have a feeling it will result in a PSN account requirement in future.

    Didn’t someone shared an article that said that PS exclusive era is over?

      Honestly, I am probably in the minority, but I don’t understand the hate for console exclusivity. In today’s world there is almost no reason to stick with a console outside some small stuff like pick up and go and knowing a game will just work. I say let them hold rights to games if it gets people to invest in getting one. I am not really sure why this is such a negative thing for some. It’s also odd that Sony gets the biggest blame when you have Nintendo that has zero games playable on other platforms outside emulation. At least these days 8 months after release it gets a PC release as well.

  Correct me if I’m wrong, 10% is not that big of a deal?

    It’s Kadokawa that forced Sony’s hands. Sony initially only wanted to acquire the anime and videogames assets. But Kadokawa told them no only acquisitions for the entire company are accepted.

    We all know the day will come but I hope it is not that early.

  On one hand I‘m worried about possible game direction influence on FROM titles, on the other hand I’m hopeful that maybe we finally get competent Soulsborne PC ports if Sony acquires them even if only for upcoming titles

    My money is on 3 months after the first release of a FROM title on PC, sony will come in and force them to create a sony account with crazy DRM to play it.
