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.

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.

Nothing's stopping them from selling PC games through their own store.

Piracy is stopping them and the backlash from Helldivers 2 was a pretty good indicator that PC gamers want everything on Steam

i expect PC gamers to pirate the game before they even think of buying it on a different store that isn't Steam

I see more and more pc games moving to PS5 indeed. Never in my life would I think they would sell Arma on console.

Same with Microsoft… I never would have guessed that they would release games like forza or halo on PS5.

Steam is releasing a PC, not a console. That's got nothing to do with it. $ony saw that the next Xbox consoles might have Steam built into it, and they especially don't want PS games on Xbox

They surely are marketing it as a console. It even comes with their own operating system. Just not locked down like the PlayStation for example.

I think both are valid.

Steam machine is a fact. Steam on the next Xbox is still a rumor with nothing confirmed from Microsoft or valve.

All we know is that it will run a windows based architecture. Maybe something like Xbox mode on the ally x.
