They also emphasized the importance of exclusive content to sell the PS5. I think they’re trying to balance out getting more revenue from their IPs and maintaining a level of exclusivity to their platform. I expect God of War to be next to move to PC, Barlog has been cheering the PC releases a lot on Twitter. Delayed releases and probably only certain IPs is my thought. But it will be hard to justify to new PC fans why they can’t play the newest Horizon even within a year of release. At that point it starts to feel like they’re playing games with their audience, so I don’t know.
This will be interesting to watch because it does devalue the platform every time an exclusive leaves, even if it’s only slightly. Maybe the loss in value to the platform is offset by the increase in revenue? We all know it’s better to get real money then figurative money.
