gamers that already choose their platform (in fact the PC) will not go to to spend 499 + 81 euro every single time for a game to buy the sequel of a game that will come VERY likely on PC and very likely will run also better. If Sony is hoping this will happen it will not...never, but we all know that instead they are simply starting to release their exclusives on PC.Just as Microsoft will start slowly then they will snowball

This!!! Thats the point. Sony made their money, release the game 3-4 years later on PC and if they want to play the sequel, then they will need a PlayStation and jump into their ecosystem.

Say what you want but your paying for quality. Now that its fixed Horizon, days gone, and now God of war feature tons of work that has been done to the game for PC. Packed with content, controller support and will probably be super well optimized since God of war is using DLSS. Also Days gone is super optimized and a super great looking open world game.
When you compare the quality of their games, with amazing visuals, optimizations, best in class animation and mo-cap. Sorry even a game from 2017 looks better in action than Valhalla animation wise. Also art direction in all of their games is fantastic.
I will gladly pay $49 for it. But since its on steam, you can shop around greenmangaming, cdkeys and get it for less. I was able to pick up days gone on launch for less than $40. Thats a steal when looking at all the content that game has.
You can buy Horizon for like $20.
You dont have to wait long or wait at all if you shop around.

Is this honestly still a problem? I get that people did this 20 years ago, but now?

No it doesn't. 3-4 years nobody could care less. 1 year is even a decent amount of time for it not to affect Sony or PlayStation.

But that's one of the strategies in play.
If a PC gamer buys GOW or Horizon ZD and likes it, it'll entice them to buy a PS5 to play the sequel asap instead of waiting for a PC port.

Ugh 1 year now would absolutely affect sony due to the fact of how hard it is to acquire a ps5 right now. Keeping it to a few years to bleed sales dry on the console to then move it to pc to accumulate more sales you werent getting is the better/smarter move
You don't know PC gamers then they are the cheapest most patient gamers out there lol. A wait on a single player game is no biggie if its coming which Sony is signaling now don't get a ps5 buy it on steam.

I've known pc gamers that played horizon and loved it and picked up a ps5 due to the fact forbideen west has a 60fps option and that they are eager to play the sequel and want to play it sooner than later.

Because it's an "old" game.
Besides, the PS4 version already had plenty of promotions, discounts, and was part of Plus.
It's not like you can't get this game on PS4 for much less than 70$.

I know, how dare pc gamers want to play a game they are excited about on release when its only on one platform for 3-5 years......how dare they....
there's no way that a PC gamer that know the potential of a PC compared to a console and that has preferred these to the simplicity of a console choose to spend 500 + 81 to play any game in advance knowing that Sony has started to release games on PC and that due to the hw difference between the two they will run very likely better on PC (we already see improvements that are not present on the PS5 in this god of war PC release)
we have a proof of it with the Xbox series X and the x is also a stronger console than the PS5. PC gamers don't change platforms (or at least not in a relevant way) ...probably the opposite is happening....Sony knows this in fact contrary to what some think it is not trying to sell more consoles ... but it is trying to sell software to PC users.

Wasn't Ghost of Tsushima Director's Cut that also included new DLC that's actually quite lengthy? And Death Stranding was not simply a port of the PS4 with better graphics. It also included new game mechanics, missions, etc right?
With God of War...why would they release a 4 year old port and charge it 10$ more than when it was a new game if it's literally the same game but with better performance?

Yes PC players can be very stubborn and childish. I mean what would they do without their 4K and 120 fps and DLSS?
I mean some of them prefer to play racing games on their car simulator rig at 4k and 120hz rather than drive in actual car and race because that 165hz goodness....
PC gamers will not pay for online or $70 games. Either accept it or your game will bomb. It's also old and is somewhat customary to release at $40 or $50 if so. They could have got away with $60 and a 10% off for the first week or two.

People really trying hard to cope with the fact that Sony is just another company that likes money and selling extra copies after reaching sales saturation on consoles is their new way of getting that money. Production costs are rising year on year and they'll explore any way of making extra profits, like they're doing it now with PC ports.
These galaxy brain takes of "baiting PC gamers to buy a PS5" are retarded. After decades of ignoring Sony games despite knowing how great they are, PC gamers will finally see the glorious light and drop half a grand on a box that will be collecting dust half the time. Give me a break. PC gamers aren't blind, stop sniffing Sony's farts.
Will there be PC gamers buying a PS5 after trying their games on PC? Yes. Will it be an amount worth mentioning? No, and Sony are well aware of that.

PS4 version is $20.
Was $60 from April 2018 to October 2018.
In October 2018, just 6 months after launch, it was permanently price cut to $40.
Then 12 months later in October 2019 it was price cut permanently down to just $20.
Its been a $20 game for 2 years now, often on sale for just $10.
And its on PS Now, and part of the PS Plus Collection.

Yeah, on PC. PC gamers will just wait for the PC port. I doubt they will buy a console for one or even a handful of games when they know they will probably come to PC eventually. I doubt the “we port to PC, they will buy our console for the sequel” strategy will work for Sony.

I dont know, why would PC gamers who would prefer to play a game at 120fps/4K go to a console(s) that achieves 60fps and dynamic res?

I cry about SonyGaf from my chair in Redmond, WA
Well, the game is really fun.
Also, keep in mind that these issues were first noticed by the public after the games release.
But I guess I'm a sucks for enjoying a game
Does a game have to introduce new features to be fun?
God of War doesn't really add anything new to third person games, yet its popular.
People buy fifa and call of duty annually, and these sequels has little to none new features

But now that I know Ragnarok will come eventually, I can just wait. At this rate, the only thing holding me for the console is the timed exclusivity of FF16 and potentially 7R-2.

I don’t think $50 is that crazy of a price considering it never been on the PC before. It’s like a new start of most gamers I feel.

I've never seen such cope.
>Oh no, this is absolute horrible that Jimbo would ever release our precious exclusives on PC!
>God of War shows up on Steam
>This is an absolutely brilliant strategy because it will force people to buy consoles or subsidize sales

Funny bit is that FF7R still isn't on PC
Alot of Sony games are singleplayer. So I assume you don't want it too expensive or else people would just pirate the game or but from a key reseller.

Aren't you quoting different people saying different things at different times?
Seems evident to me.
If you want to play certain games it's not worth to wait 2 years?
Being able to play the games in first place is more important than resolution.
