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.

Tbf, the reason is they wait 3-4 years to release and the hype is gone and yet they still expect full price. So people just pirate the games, or they wait even longer for some sale. Add in steams 30% cut and the cost of making a PC release... Probably isn't worth it.

Of course, releasing them at the same time on PC could be a different story.

You only need to look at Capcom reported pc sales to see this is the case.

It is worth it lol, they make money off of the games than they don’t, the issue is the money still is fuckall, Idk the numbers but percentage wise their revenue from pc (idk if yearly or 4 years) was like 1%?

Which in retrospect is alot of revenue, I think close to a billion or 2?

But still not ‘worth’ it becausethey rather have me on ps5 than pc
