    So, not defending them because it’s still a stupid choice, but their reasons were not because PC bad, but because Xbox announced their “Play PC games on the next Xbox”. Meaning Microsoft’s next console could play PS games now (if they bought the PC version). Sony doesn’t want their rival console to play their games, so they revoked it.

    I still think it’s stupid, exclusives are stupid, but that’s the actual reason before many more people claim that sony hates PC players. (I mean they do, but not for the reason you think)

      Except do we actually know how the Xbox/PC thing will work? Are we sure it will be able to run all games and isn’t just their plan to push game streaming?

        Nothing concrete, but their stated goal is to play any pc game on it, similar to what steam did with the deck. That was enough to scare off sony

      I think there must be other reasons. Death Stranding was released as PS exclusive but got an actual Xbox release some time after PC release. Also, Microsoft has also released many first party titles on PS5. Even the new Halo will be on PS5.
