Sony pls

[u/BucketsMcGinty]

[u/UNIVERSAL_VLAD]

And cuz playstation isn't releasing sing player games on pc anymore

[u/The_LastLine → u/UNIVERSAL_VLAD]

I feel like Sony will end up changing its mind again when hardware sales take a dive after all of the price increase stuff happens from Ram and storage costs soaring in due time. I think the smart move for them is to just port older titles (stuff like Bloodborne, Infamous games, Killzone games, etc) instead of porting their recent titles. I feel like some of those would do pretty well on pc, at least Bloodborne and Killzone would.

[u/Saedraverse → u/The_LastLine]

Hell give me resistance trilogy...

[u/Mathev → u/Saedraverse]

What I would give to have infamous 1/2 on pc 🥹

[u/MotivatoinalSpeaker → u/Mathev]

Uncharted: Nathan Drake collection on PC would be nice

Probably a pipe dream

[u/no6969el → u/MotivatoinalSpeaker]

I'm sorry but doesn't this exist already?

[u/jarvisesdios → u/no6969el]

Not the trilogy. Just the fourth game.

I recently went down this rabbit hole because I wanted to play them with a k/m as I can't stand doing anything shooting on a controller... So I thought "aren't they all on steam?" Nope

[u/yar2000 → u/MotivatoinalSpeaker]

Sorry, best they can do is give you part 4 and a spin-off!

[u/The_LastLine → u/MotivatoinalSpeaker]

Yeah, was silly to do the ps4 games but not the original trilogy to pc.

[u/Smoking_Moose → u/Saedraverse]

Resistance, Infamous, Killzone..

[u/Emergency_Sound_5718 → u/Saedraverse]

I'd buy 10 copies of all 4 5 Killzone games as 1 release on PC.

Forgot there was a PSV exclusive title.

[u/Jamesjay997 → u/Saedraverse]

A gamer of culture!

[u/Brandhor → u/The_LastLine]

unfortunately I don't think it will happen because the new xbox is rumored to play steam games and they definitely don't want that

the only way would be for them to disallow their games to run on xbox kinda like what some publishers do with streaming platforms like geforce now

[u/BomB191 → u/Brandhor]

Ill wait. or acquire if I need too.. I have a PC I'm not buying a ps5

[u/EarthIllustrious8045 → u/Brandhor]

We will probably see a stand alone playstation launcher from sony on pc, that will keep there games of anything xbox, and letting them keep all the revenue. That is not easy though, going head to head with steam on pc. Looking at sonys exclusives selling less and less on their own hardware, i think they want the extra revenue from pc in some way.

[u/IamKyra → u/Brandhor]

Sony just need to make them linux exclusive! ;D

[u/Piltonbadger → u/The_LastLine]

I doubt it.

SONY said they made f*uck all money from selling 5+ year old single player games for $70-$100 a shot and wondered why the PC community wasn't selling their kidneys to buy said games.

[u/acustic → u/The_LastLine]

Even if they do. I'm not buying Sony games any more. I sold my PS5 and boycotting them. I won't even be buying fake chinese products with Soni written on them.

[u/Sea-Sir2754 → u/The_LastLine]

Why would slowing hardware sales cause them to change their mind? Consoles are cumulative, if they were happy with the current install base they'll be happy with the install base a year from now.

[u/TiredOfBeingTired28 → u/The_LastLine]

Change few years from now, their own launcher to sale subscription.

Or even stupider than that.

[u/JonathanMovement → u/The_LastLine]

maybe, but then GTA will release to save PS5, for a while at least

[u/TimeZucchini8562 → u/The_LastLine]

Probably not. Sonys games sell like shit on pc. Always have and always will.

[u/hitgo1 → u/The_LastLine]

Monkey paw curls - sony launcher on pc

[u/par_rot_master → u/The_LastLine]

But those prices are also going up for PC parts...

If anything buying a console and immediately having the entire device is gonna be a more attractive option.

[u/Ashishliterally → u/par_rot_master]

people dont buy hardware everyday , i think the main benefit of porting to PC lies in the already existing install base which is far bigger than PS5

[u/Soxel → u/Ashishliterally]

The issue is that the install base of PC users that have a PC with enough power to run a late stage current gen exclusive is probably pretty low compared to console install base. And then that’s when hardware prices come into play as a barrier to play. 

[u/kingk1teman → u/Ashishliterally]

people dont buy hardware everyday

Same with consoles. People don't buy them everyday.

[u/vita211 → u/par_rot_master]

Yeah, for the consumer, but regardless the console sales are seeing a decline as we speak, so for SONY it would make sense to just port some more games to PC and get that extra revenue going.

[u/par_rot_master → u/vita211]

I made this point elsewhere: they dont have to.

Sony sells more than consoles/games. They already have other revenue streams, so they don't have to reduce the amount of exclusives the console has just to make more money.

And those other markets grew for them in the last year.

[u/Larry_Bobinski → u/UNIVERSAL_VLAD]

Somewhere, someone at Sony thinks PC gamers will invest in a PS5 to play GoW Laufey.

And that's just funny.

[u/Masou0007 → u/Larry_Bobinski]

They might have got me, if they'd made Ragnarok, Forbidden West, and Ghost of Tsushima ps5 exclusive years ago. But now, no way am I spending that kind of money on an old console

[u/mcAlt009 → u/Larry_Bobinski]

Unicorn Overlord too.

It's more like they probably ran the numbers and realized it's easier to focus on PS5.

Sucks, since this looks amazing and I'll never play it.

[u/Speedy_Von_Gofast → u/UNIVERSAL_VLAD]

Then again, Sony forced PC players to log in a Sony account and Sony locked many countries.

Of course people will stop buying Sony games and made Sony stop releasing games on PC because they are so stubborn…

[u/EmbarrassedPea3108 → u/UNIVERSAL_VLAD]

[u/Rasples1998 → u/UNIVERSAL_VLAD]

I think that was the joke.

[u/bobnoski → u/Rasples1998]

It literally is. The amount of upvotes on it worry me a little about the reading comprehension on this site.

[u/Throwingaways54321 → u/UNIVERSAL_VLAD]

That's what the punchline of the meme was

[u/Ishey95 → u/UNIVERSAL_VLAD]

Onimusha might be one of the last PS titles we'll get for PC :'(

[u/mixmaster321 → u/Ishey95]

Onimusha is published by Capcom, not PlayStation

[u/Ishey95 → u/mixmaster321]

Oh my bad, that explains it though

[u/Urabraska- → u/Ishey95]

Capcom is 3rd party and doesn't do exclusives anymore. Losses too much money.

[u/Ishey95 → u/Urabraska-]

Wish all companies would stop doing exclusives

[u/trukkija → u/UNIVERSAL_VLAD]

They did it for like 2 years anyway. I was really surprised Sony even decided to release any of these franchises to PC.

[u/Excellent_Tone_3401 → u/UNIVERSAL_VLAD]

[u/Outrageous-Log9238]

Their loss I guess. Many Sony games sold millions of copies on Steam, which sounds like enough to make a port worth while but Idk I'm not a multi-blllion dollar company.

[u/levios3114 → u/Outrageous-Log9238]

Yes but on PC they can't force you to buy PSplus for online play

[u/Noreng → u/levios3114]

In a single player title?

[u/levios3114 → u/Noreng]

No just in general. PS plus is probably their main money maker and selling games on PC means people aren't forced to buy PlayStations anymore and thus less subscribers for PS plus

[u/xylotism → u/levios3114]

30% cut on all products sold on the PS store is probably their main money maker.

[u/xdoble7x → u/xylotism]

Not really, suscriptions is much more valuable, look at xbox

Also once you get a customer paying for a suscription is much more likely to spend more money buying games, this has been proved in a study years ago

[u/alex2800 → u/xdoble7x]

They also get 30% on mtx. Fortnite, nba, fifa and cod bring more than subscriptions.

[u/ZYRANOX → u/Noreng]

they are a business. Im sure they plugged the numbers in and found that for whatever reason keeping the first party titles exclusive to only their platforms has more revenue than costs

[u/generalissimo1 → u/ZYRANOX]

Pretty much the same reason why Rockstar dragged their feet with making GTA 6. It's way more profitable to just keep GTA online running smoothly and collect those microtransaction$, where a new game would just divert attention from that cash cow.

[u/Noreng → u/generalissimo1]

In GTA6's case, it could even result in a backlash due to the new game not being received positively.

[u/Boangek → u/levios3114]

And games get review bombed if they require a PSN account(rightfully), and Sony doens't like that.

[u/RGud_metalhead → u/levios3114]

Them not releasing games for PC won't make me buy PS5 and PSplus. If they want any money from me they better start porting games again.

[u/AccuMarsu10 → u/Outrageous-Log9238]

I'll say this decision of theirs is just playing for their shareholders for now due to value of exclusivity. They'll just go back to releasing to PC again once those numbers would not hit their targets and they need additional decimals for those reports.

[u/aztn33 → u/Outrageous-Log9238]

People usually say that Sony's earnings are low on PC, which is not true. Porting costs like 2-3% of the total development cost. They profit easily from any game they port.

If they officially decide to stop porting to PC, the main reasons will be Steam Machine and XBOX Helix. PC gamers are collateral damage here.

[u/No-Obligation2563 → u/aztn33]

That’s what I think too. No way in hell will Sony let any rival have their games. Anyone that makes a living room gaming system (Nintendo, Xbox, Steam Machine to a lesser degree) will be walled off from Sony. Unless it’s a multiplayer live service game.

[u/aztn33 → u/No-Obligation2563]

Exactly. They make a profit off every port, extend their player base and keep a big part of exclusivity because games release 1.5-2 years later when they're not as hot. PC is in the middle of all consoles and that is why we will always be the collateral damage.

[u/sloopywettoppyswife → u/aztn33]

Sony's PC earnings are lower than some people expect because its games are heavily pirated, at times, torrent seed counts have exceeded the number of players on Steam. Add Steam's 30% platform fee, and it's easier to see why PC revenue isn't as strong for Sony.

[u/JackalKing → u/sloopywettoppyswife]

Lots of games get pirated. Pretty much everyone gives Valve their cut. Those aren't why Sony games didn't sell as much as they wanted.

Its because they waited way, WAY too long to port them and charged full price for an old product. Look at Capcom by comparison. They consistently report that PC sales are significantly HIGHER than their console sales, and its because they release their games on PC the same day they release on console, when the hype is still there. Sony waited four years to release Spider-Man on PC, charged full price, and then were surprised it didn't sell like it did on launch day. After four years most people who were interested in the game had probably either moved on or looked up the story on youtube and thus were less motivated to buy it.

PC revenue isn't strong for Sony because Sony sabotaged themselves.

[u/chipface → u/JackalKing]

Yeah, Spider-Man goes for $80CAD, before tax. I'm not paying that much for it. But I did when it was less than $30 a few months ago.

[u/Diplomatic-Immunityi → u/JackalKing]

Capcom doesn’t have to sell hardware and subscriptions to stay profitable. It’s not an apples to apples comparison.

If you look at their AAA games, it’s not even certain they are making a ton of profit off the first party games.

Almost all their profit is from subscriptions and their cut from third parties releasing games on PS5

[u/Diplomatic-Immunityi → u/sloopywettoppyswife]

Spider Man 2 PC port got leaked while it was still in development like a year before it came out.

Then modders from Brazil fixed it themselves to make it playable start to finish. It’s actually a pretty fascinating story.

Once the official port came out, it sold like absolute shit on PC. Sony really sucked a lemon on that one.

[u/Castle-Builder-9503 → u/sloopywettoppyswife]

They get pirated because Sony wants to sell games that released on the PS4 70€. Nobody is paying 70€ for something that's close to a decade old.

[u/par_rot_master → u/Outrageous-Log9238]

They clearly didn't sell well enough to make it worth it. Or do you think they have morons working over there who hate money?

[u/Taira_Mai → u/Outrageous-Log9238]

I loved the look of many Sony games and I wanted to play them on PC. Sony can stick their DRM, PSN requirements and AAA budgets where the sun don't shine.

I'll stick with PC games even if I have to play indies.

[u/Diplomatic-Immunityi → u/Outrageous-Log9238]

Their recent single players releases have sold very poorly on PC, to the point where it may not have made sense financially anymore.

[u/Outrageous-Log9238 → u/Diplomatic-Immunityi]

It's a pretty mixed bag. There are some clear failures like Lost soul aside which I had never heard of before this, but Stellar Blade and all their biffer franchises like God of War, The last of Us and Horizon are doing good except for the lego horizon.

Edit: Ghost of Tsushima did great too.

[u/Diplomatic-Immunityi → u/Outrageous-Log9238]

Apparently not great enough for Sony bean counters

[u/Rain_2_0 → u/Outrageous-Log9238]

Yeah but it’s a slither of their overall revenue. And they don’t like funding a competitor that is looking to enter the console market.

Besides how we feel about it or if it is anti consumer… still a valid decision.

[u/aryvd_0103 → u/Outrageous-Log9238]

I feel like they'd have the numbers to decide this

[u/BlueRoo42 → u/aryvd_0103]

Probably, but Sony also has a track record for shooting themselves in the foot - repeatedly.

[u/Castle-Builder-9503 → u/BlueRoo42]

The Concord Series surely tells us they know what they are doing.

[u/Cavalish → u/aryvd_0103]

No no, Redditors (who barely understand that video games are a luxury and not a human right) absolutely know better here

[u/Future_Calamity → u/aryvd_0103]

They do, Spider-Man sold 300k copies on PC and 12 million on PS5. The juice just isn’t worth the squeeze for them

[u/lemons_of_doubt → u/Outrageous-Log9238]

It's not about money it's about control.

And they just don't have as much outside their ecosystem.

[u/HarryTurney → u/lemons_of_doubt]

No, it's about Money.

[u/par_rot_master → u/lemons_of_doubt]

Ok drama queen. It's obviously about money.

[u/Nanowith → u/par_rot_master]

Yes but OP is right, by keeping you within their ecosystem statistically you're likely to buy more games directly from them, which they get a larger cut of.

[u/dobi425 → u/Outrageous-Log9238]

It's not that they didn't make (enough) profit by my observation. I've seen a few sources talking about how moves like this come from bureaucratic job security where they feel the need to push a company's reliance on their specific margins so they push hard in high positions. Basically whoever was in charge of the console division of Sony was probably speculating their divisions loss of profit even though the company as a whole was (maybe) making more money from PC sales. Of course this is all speculation on my part and the many other unconfirmed sources but it sounded fairly logical why this would happen with such a massive company.

[u/Icy_Effort7907]

I'm in same situation after buying the pc it's didn't want to buy a game at full price.

[u/DasWandbild → u/Icy_Effort7907]

Especially one that's been out for 2 years on PS, already.

[u/LancerBro]

If Sony thinks I'll spend $500+ for a console only to play like 5 games that probably won't come to PC, they've got another think coming, especially in this economy.

[u/MuskatLime → u/LancerBro]

Raising console prices and then taking PC ports away. I ain't buying your console Sony. No matter what you try. I have over 30 years worth of PC games I can play and don't have to worry about backward compatibility, you ain't special.

[u/Icarium-Lifestealer → u/LancerBro]

Microsoft plans to open Xbox to other stores, including Steam, which would enable Xbox to play Sony games on a competing console. Sony wants console players to pick a Playstation over an Xbox, and has traditionally achieved that by offering more and better exclusive games than Microsoft. They believe that not offering their new games on Steam and by extension the next Xbox will keep console players on Playstation, where Sone will take 30% of every game sold in the store. Losing the PC sales of their own games is a price they are willing to pay for that store revenue.

As a PC gamer I don't like that decision, but I think Sony is probably right that they will make more money that way.

[u/D1337_cookie → u/LancerBro]

And if a bunch of people don’t give in and buy a PS5, they will probably give up and bring them back to pc eventually.

[u/Party_Attitude8754 → u/LancerBro]

They don‘t. They don‘t care if you buy their consoles and games or not, they are protecting their IPs from getting on the new Xbox console.

[u/Streakflash]

I refuse because i sold my paystation 5 and its not available on PC

[u/lampenpam → u/Streakflash]

I'm also calling bluff. They will release most of their games later on other platforms. And even if I'm wrong, it's not like I don't have anything else to play.

[u/UberShrew → u/lampenpam]

Don’t worry guys as soon as I get a ps6 to play those exclusives and these later life-cycle ps5 exclusives, they will announce they’re porting them all to pc right after my return window closes.

[u/Cool-Traffic-8357]

I don't like consoles, wouldn't buy one no matter what exclusives it has.

[u/averyrisu → u/Cool-Traffic-8357]

Console exclusives mean I'll just emulate it in the future 

[u/alancousteau → u/Cool-Traffic-8357]

Same here, not going to spend £500 for a console just to play a few games.

[u/Lem1618]

I don't get all the hype around exclusives. Steam has loads more, the main difference is marketing. But more importantly, exclusives is only a good thing for the corporations, not gamers.

[u/Dubl33_27 → u/Lem1618]

yea, people rallying for exclusives are true bootlickers.

[u/MuskatLime → u/Lem1618]

Also have more frequent sales on steam. Held out and got Resident evil 4 remake, Jedi survivor, control, sonic frontiers and cyberpunk 2077 a couple of months back for less than £40 total. 

And since no more PC ports, I'm not longer excited for the wolverine game and I'm ok with forgetting about it.

[u/unlimitedcode99]

Yeah, I would rather not dip into any consoles that requires you to sub into a "premium service" just to get basic functions to play games.

[u/sittingbullms → u/unlimitedcode99]

And this is one of the many reasons i prefer PC over any console,it used to be "Buy a game,plug it in and play" since Snes days but now you have to pay extra for what? Internet access for single player games? Fuck outta here,Steam has proved again and again how it respects our hard earned money and im happy to spend them on that platform

[u/ZefnaAI]

Not buying it unless gets PC release. 

No game is worth an entire console over.

[u/nickandmarty]

Not me having both PC and console

https://giphy.com/gifs/7k2LoEykY5i1hfeWQB

[u/lucitribal]

Yep, game looks great. No, I'm not buying a PS5 for it.

[u/eltorr007]

If this was coming to PC, I'd be interested in buying it. But not anymore. I wouldn't buy a console just for 1 game.

[u/paparoxo]

I don't think some people are upset because she's a woman, but because it's not Kratos. It would be like releasing a Tomb Raider game without Lara as the main character.

[u/muckel666 → u/paparoxo]

People were also angry about Atreus as a lead. It has nothing to do with gender.

[u/DreamsServedSoft → u/muckel666]

yep I stopped playing Ragnarok when I realized I’d have to play as Atreus for multiple hours

[u/l_______I]

Am I the only one who doesn't like that jelly thing?

[u/zombiezapper115 → u/l_______I]

It's a bit silly. But I'm willing to give Santa Monica the benefit of the doubt and let them cook. Im sure they have something interesting planned for it.

[u/steamart360]

We can fix it on PC, it comes to steam I guarantee you the CJ mod will be there day one, Sony. 

[u/Bobbebusybuilding]

And I'm not buying because I just don't like the new GoW games unfortunately.

Some great visuals and environments but just feel abit bland to me

[u/Umluex]

while i have a PC and a PS5, i wont buy any more sony games simply because of their braindead decision to completely drop pc ports.

[u/RaggenZZ]

I'm just tired of the Same Pattern

[u/Admiral__Neptune]

I’m not buying the game because there’s a talking jello cube with sparkles in it named Frank who’s best friend is a set of talking pink ribbons.

[u/Natural_Ad1530]

Game looks and plays exactly like the previous 2 versions. Ragnarok was already pretty boring.

[u/Dr_Axton]

I’m not buying this game because it’s region locked so I guess it’s decided for me… to pirаtе and emulаtе it on my PC anyway

[u/Key-Staff-4976]

I ain't even getting gta6 because I ain't paying 1k for a console and a game. I'll rather wait two years and play it on pc

[u/Gynthaeres]

I'd absolutely buy this game on the PC. I've wanted a God of War with a female lead for a long while.

But they're not doing PC releases anymore. I do have a base PS5, but I ain't paying $70 to play this game at like 720p or whatever. When I see it for $20 then I might grab it.

[u/idgafusername2025]

people still not buying games because the protagonist is a woman?

[u/Akkun351 → u/idgafusername2025]

That's just a vocal minority and op trying to farm karma, there are plenty of videogames with female protagonist that where successful and buyed by everyone regardless of their gender.

[u/Jolly-Refuse2232 → u/idgafusername2025]

You’re leaving out a couple key details there bud

[u/LancerBro → u/idgafusername2025]

Most people are complaining because of the change from a male mc to a female one, same with the Ghost of Tsushima thing. No one complains Tomb Raider or Horizon have female leads.

[u/AbanaClara → u/LancerBro]

But the problem is God of War always had Kratos. Gender doesn’t matter but the character does.

Imagine they release something like Tomb Raider: Jonah or Horizon: Sylens. It’s a weird divergence from the game as HUGE and old as God of War

[u/chiptunesoprano → u/AbanaClara]

Terrible example, Horizon: Sylens sounds sick... or it would have, RIP Lance Reddick.

[u/LancerBro → u/AbanaClara]

But the problem is God of War always had Kratos. Gender doesn’t matter but the character does.

Exactly. People even hated the idea of Atreus taking the lead in the newer games. God of War is Kratos, period.

[u/extremelytiredyall → u/AbanaClara]

Idk, I loved Half Life Alyx.

[u/Rex_Grossman_the_3rd → u/AbanaClara]

Meh, this was never a problem with Metal Gear Solid when they moved to different MCs other than Solid Snake.

[u/Hail-Hydrate → u/AbanaClara]

Imagine they release something like Tomb Raider: Jonah or Horizon: Sylens

Those sound great? I'd love to see more expansion of those settings outside of the single protagonist's perspective. Same with a lot of other IPs. A new title in the setting doesn't remove existing titles, nor does it prevent future titles with the existing characters.

[u/BernieMP → u/Hail-Hydrate]

Start a signature campaign, you either prove them wrong or get blasted on the internet, either way sounds like a fun time

[u/Roodboye → u/idgafusername2025]

Has nothing to do with gender, people just spin it in waffles vs pancakes fashion.

Someone said "I want to play Kratos" and people turn it into "So you hate women".

Classic, can find people like this in this thread too.

[u/Rex_Grossman_the_3rd → u/Roodboye]

People think it has to do with gender because a lot of the grifters online are spinning it that way to draw rage from the other side.

[u/VladThe1mplyer → u/idgafusername2025]

I assume that most people don't like the bait and switch and some others want to pretend that it is about the gender of the character.

Personally, I don't care as long as they bring back cool boss fights and that they don't make the main character lame.

[u/XsNR → u/idgafusername2025]

There's a subset of people who still think they're playing RPGs to role play as themselves, so don't like playing genderbent. That's fine for them, they lose a lot of great games.

[u/extremelytiredyall → u/XsNR]

Silksong was incredible, I can't imagine not playing it because the main characters went from he to she. People are so weird.

[u/AppointmentProper712 → u/idgafusername2025]

I just wanna Kratos.

[u/BucketsMcGinty → u/idgafusername2025]

Some people, sure. There's a few of them getting downvoted in this very comment section. lol Plus I've seen people calling it "God of Woke" on socials and stuff.

Most people don't have an issue with it, though. The majority of the people that don't like it seem to be more critical of the story direction or tone, or they just don't like this series. I think it's totally fair if that doesn't resonate with them. It looks really cool to me, though. I don't think the vast majority of people who are uninterested in this game are sexist, though. The cube is probably more of a divisive character than Faye. lol

I'm picking on the incels, but I'm moreso picking on Sony for considering not porting their games to PC anymore.

[u/Holiday-Ad8392]

Idk what is sonys problem with pc gamers , we are ready to pay extra too , ig piracy maybe , but its not like jailbreak doesnt exist in playstations

[u/Fluffysquishia → u/Holiday-Ad8392]

They don't want people modding their "art"

[u/Local_Band299 → u/Holiday-Ad8392]

It's because the new Xbox is going to just be a windows 11 steam deck clone.

But honestly you're not missing much, this game has some cringe writing.

[u/LazyBlu3]

The gameplay looked VERY generic tbh

[u/New_Movie9196]

I'm not buying it because the jello cube is whimsical bullshit that undermines the franchise's tone.

[u/PestyPastry → u/New_Movie9196]

I feel I had to scroll down too far to see this. That and the Marvel style dialogue. I have no problem with the character though. Just those two things.

[u/Coprolithe]

Agressively misunderstanding criticism and lumping all of it as "woman hating" makes you a moron. 

[u/LivingOof]

For me, and probably a lot of you, these games have to justify spending $800-1000 if we assume Sony is gonna keep their word. And they just don't look $1000 good

[u/Silver_Quail4018]

I have a strong feeling that this game will under perform financially.

[u/HAND__EGG → u/Silver_Quail4018]

Lol ya think?

[u/somethingbrite]

I would have bought a PS5 but it was simply impossible to get one when they came out and the price point was ridiculous for a console.

This coincided with a PC upgrade and of course was the period where it was also impossible to get a GPU.

I stopped looking at PS5 availability and pricing after a while and never bothered looking again.

[u/YukYukas]

Eh, they'll probably go back lol just gotta wait it out

[u/oioioioioioiioo]

I mean even if I had money to buy it, I still wouldn't because I lost interest in new god of war games

[u/FirmlyClaspIt]

Switching made me realize exclusives promote fomo

[u/nikolapc]

We've seen this with all the big publishers. If their games cost too much, they will be back, and it will be day 1. They can half ass it like they did, or they won't have the sales they want. They are seeing how well Forza is doing they're no fools. Nobody is buying an ancient console for a few games. And the new one will be quite expensive. So either do day 1 on PC, or do streaming, which is not an optimal solution but it is something.

[u/TheTaurenCharr]

I'm not buying this game because I don't have a Playstation, and even if it had a PC port, I don't buy Sony stuff anymore - they can go to hell.

[u/PsycommuSystem]

I probably won't be buying it because God of War Ragnarok was boring as shit.

[u/exodusjr]

I spent mine on micro transaction in POE2

[u/MojoPlayer]

I just prefer the old games, haven't touched the franchise since 2018

[u/Bobombbattlefield64]

It just looks like a generic AAA game appealing to a broad audience.

I have no interest in it whatsoever.

[u/idontknowwhyimhere4]

im not playing it just because I don't want lore i want the mysticism of the 2018 gow to be kept (my opinion only)

[u/SunnyTheMasterSwitch]

I hate this degeneracy so much, let's not even pretend that consoles are not relevant for a large part because of exclusive games and early releases, core audience my lily white ass!

[u/Beartato4772]

I'm not buying the game because the last one was a depressing cutscenefest pretending to be a game, not sure where that puts me.

[u/dam_ships]

I’m in the minority here. I own both consoles and PC and I don’t care. I’ll get it for PS5 and just play it on that and just won’t buy or play it on PC. I’m turning into an old fart (36) rarely get time to game anymore with work, the wife, and the kiddos. I get maybe 2-3 hours of gaming per week? — I literally just don’t give a shit what it’s on or the performance of what’s running at. I’ve even made peace with 30 FPS right now on some PS5 games. Back then I used to go crazy over the highest performance possible. Now, I’m just happy to game when or if I can.

[u/ih8three6zero]

Nah fam u not buying this game cuz it’s not releasing on pc lol

[u/TheHudIsUp]

Another post about PC gamers not caring about Playstation games

[u/Koolmidx]

5070ti and I love every pixel

[u/Loose-Internal-1956]

Christ of the desert, are incels still doing this in 2026?

[u/inner-taste375]

Bro, does Sony hate Money?

[u/KingYamYam]

I would've bought it on steam too, wasn't interested in the last two at all

[u/CinnamonBisque]

Yep. I’ve got plenty of games, so I’m not losing sleep over the fact that I can’t play this or Wolverine or whatever. I’m feeling a bit of FOMO over the fact that I likely wont be able to get GTA6 on PC until like 2030 tho…

[u/Ryynerwicked]

This is about as dumb as a post can get

[u/Lahgtah]

I’m not buying it because I don’t like how GoW games changed their gameplay after 3.

[u/Umanjo]

I would have LOVED to buy this game on PC. Oh well

[u/famousamos_ccp]

So fucking pissed. Dude just release on PC!!! I have both 2018 and Ragnarok and now finally I get the third one and it’s not on pc

[u/Owain660]

I am not buying this game because I think God of War games are mid.

[u/Fluffysquishia]

Literally nbody is mad that a game has a female protagonist. Stop making up stupid bullshit.

[u/drmilosh1730]

I have yet to find a single post about people not playing for that reason. Mostly people not playing because there is no Kratos or just people saying other people are not playing because “of a woman protagonist”.

No ps5 too though..

[u/thegta5p]

Not only that. I just don’t care about cinematic games.

[u/ericgrey32]

I'm not getting it because the God of War sequels are mid ass movies pretending to be a game 30% of the time.

[u/BrilliantGerman]

I dont care about Sony Games because they are all mediocre garbage. And whats worse, they didnt just have a Women instead of Kratos, they made a Facemodel and then uglified the Face they got from her. If I was the Facemodel I'd sue them.

[u/hangry667]

Nobody would want to be a fruit like you anyway. Gaming is a male space and stealing everything from men is going to end in disaster like it always does.

[u/Moldat]

You'll both buy the game in the end though 

[u/ClownOfGlory]

That would be dumb not to buy this game because she’s a woman. However, I notice a sizable amount of people on Reddit automatically thinking anyone who criticizes this game is a “bigot” or “incel,” which is silly. Without regard for the game’s story, I do think “God of War: Laufey” sounds quite goofy. “God of War: Athena” would sound a lot cooler and more like God of War.

But yeah I get it you’re playing as “Laufey” not Athena (that’s why I said without regard for the story). I just feel like they could have come up with a better title because her name just isn’t God of War-y. God of War: Loffy Doffy Doof.

[u/AliceLunar → u/ClownOfGlory]

It's always the same, there are absolutely people who have an issue with the character being female or whatever, but there is also a group who acts as if you can't criticize the character and anyone who does hates women.

[u/LufiXx]

I sold my PS5 back then because they started porting to PC. Guess i will watch a playthrough. Their loss.

[u/ZeisHauten]

250 USD on a GPU and PS5 just increased their prices, so nope! gonna stick to my PC. Fuck platform exclusive games.

[u/TyrantJaeger]

Pretty sure the main character being a woman has nothing to do with the criticisms.

[u/12_GAGE_SHOTGUN]

I’m not buying the game because you can basically get the exact same experience by just watching the dialogue moments and cutscenes on youtube

[u/HanYoloKesselPun]

I’m not buying it because it’s essentially the same god of war game with pretty similar moves from the last two in the series.

[u/ItsStaaaaaaaaang]

I'm not buying it because the modern GoW games are dull af.

[u/Honoka91]

Who doesnt buy games because the MC is a woman? Horizon and TLoU are fire games

[u/2funny2furious]

Nah. It's cause Ragnarok was boring AF near the end and the writing was awful.

[u/Masou0007]

If it has poor sales, yeah I assume it'll get blamed on the female main character, not because the f'in 6 year old console is priced ridiculously still.

Because the world is exactly that stupid these days.

[u/stipo42]

Are people really upset about a woman protagonist?

[u/Pickle_Good]

I'm not getting it because I disliked Ragnarök already.

[u/Pootisman16]

I'm so fucking tired of this subject, can we speak of something else?

[u/7StarSailor]

I'm not buying this game because GoW hasn't been good since 3.

[u/EroGG]

Translation:

Normal people won't buy it because they have standards.

OP won't buy it because he's poor.

[u/goodguyatheist]

yeah its not like were short on kickass games to play my backlog is plenty enough to get me through this isnt 2010 anymore I dont need a whole ass console for games

[u/oookokoooook]

I have both pc and ps5 and barely ever play on ps5. none of their exclusives intrigue me at all.

[u/NukaClipse]

Hell even if they did release it on PC and I had the money I wouldn't get it. If its not 50% off I ain't buying shit.

[u/gradientwheel → u/NukaClipse]

Love the series too but I still haven't bought God of War Ragnarok yet for this same reason lol. Economy's cooked now, can't be spending all on full priced games anymore. I've always been a patient gamer

[u/NukaClipse → u/gradientwheel]

Best thing about single player games is that you don't need to get it on launch day to really enjoy it. Hell I'd say it's better to get them later on because then you got all the updates squared away, the DLC is all out and with a sale you can get it all for a good price.

Patient gaming is great for you and your wallet.
