    So Sony isn’t looking at Steam as a failure. It is seeing it as a warning sign. PC players bought PlayStation games but they didn’t transition to PlayStation’s ecosystem where the real money is to be made for Sony. If the best of Sony’s catalogue keeps arriving on Steam, waiting becomes the strategy.

    That’s what I thought. They want people to enter to the PS5 ecosystem. But in this economy?! That’s less than likely.

      For me, it’s not the economy it is time. The sheer amount of amazing games on PC means I won’t get a PS5 or a PS6 in the future. Not getting 1 or 2 games I want to play is not going to be noticeable in the long run.

        Indeed. I think their failed attempt to integrate PSN into Helldivers made it clear that they couldn’t profit from the PC market as they wanted. But, as you said, too bad for them.
