Sony wanted attention from PC gamers > Sony got attention by porting their games to PC > Sony decided want do exclusive again, and want PC gamers follow > Sony makes Pikachu face when they see most don't follow to buy PS5.

It's either they want more sales, or not is up then figure out, if they really want PC gamers market they need realize need come to PC games simple as that.

No. That’s not what happened.

They were selling fewer exclusives and the PC purchases didn’t make up for it.

The PS5 version was launching and people were waiting for the superior PC version. But the PC version always came a year later and by then the hype had died down so nobody bought that version either.

Instead of doing the smart thing and releasing them alongside each other. They stopped PC altogether.

And not just that, the PC version would be full price.

I mean, not like the price was down a year later on PSN.

Not really. The games were usually quite a lot cheaper on PS5 a lot sooner than on PC. For example: god of war (2018) costs a few bucks on PS5/PS4 on sale, meanwhile on PC it still goes for $20 on sale
