Re: Sony Estimated to Have Made $1.5 Billion from Steam, But the Novelty Is Wearing Off

@Northern_munkey The games that have good ports are praised on Steam.

Ghost of Tsushima's port was even nominated for two awards for the Steam Awards last year and Steam just featured a Playstation sale banner on the front of the store page and used Tsushima as a game advertising the Steam Deck. I just have a hard time swallowing the pill of Sony backtracking on pc ports. It's still sales and additional revenue for the them and the devs, and since they won't do day on day for new releases, it still gives people an extra incentive to buy the consoles and invest into Sony's ecosystem. The brand is too strong and the convenience of a console won't be undermined by having their games available on a later date on pc.

Apologies for going on a tangent, I usually don't but it's something on my mind about this whole thing.

I have a feeling we're going to see Expedition 33 sweep a lot of categories this year. I only played a little bit of it last spring/summer, but I need to keep playing.

For my GotY, it has to be Silksong. The game was so good and I loved the entire 70 hours I put into it.
I haven't played Death Stranding 2 yet since I'm waiting for a PC release, I want to play Kingdom Come Deliverance 2, I liked Bananza but I kinda fell away from it without finishing it, haven't played Hades 2.

Re: 'Very Vague' Rumour Claims Sony May Scale Back PC Ports of PS5 Games

Jez Corden isn't exactly a reliable source for rumors so I have a hard time believing this. They're already expanding to mobile with the recent Horizon and Ratchet games, I don't see why they would pull back from their PC ports.

They also put out a job application for a senior multiplatform engineer not too long ago, to expand their reach to other platforms.

I finished Enotria last night, it's a fun souls-like, not the worst I've played but not the best.

Now I'm debating what to play next. I want to play Expedition 33, but I want to start Kingdom Come Deliverance 2, but I also want to try Middle Earth Shadows of War cause I played the first game years and years ago. But I also want to try Tunic.

Way too many choices lol.

Re: Poll: Does the Steam Machine Pose a Threat to PS5?

I'm excited for it. Valve supports open source software and it's running their OS which is similar to Linux. You'll be able to squeeze a lot of performance out of this, more then people realize. Thing is, Valve views it as a pc, not just a console, so it already has that advantage.

Re: Leaked Cross-Buy Icon on PS5 Hints at Mysterious Pro-Consumer Move from Sony

I'm really hoping this means a possibility of console exclusives releasing on PS5 and PC simultaneously. I'm waiting for the PC ports of Ghost of Yotei and Death Stranding 2.

Like I've said many times in the past few years, the games releasing on something like PC only helps Sony's profits, not hinder it. There will always be a market for consoles for people that just want a plug-n-play experience. Console won't just magically poof out of existence.
