Why would you be all on board for Sony leaving PC?
The only notable hate they've received from the PC crowd has been their fault, shitty to mid ports and this nonsense with Helldivers 2.
Why are you blaming the community for Sony fucking up? They knowingly sold Helldivers to countries that can't have a PSN account. If they had their launcher working and sold it to appropriate regions day one, they wouldn't be in this mess. It wouldn't have sold as well, but it still would have had strong numbers. No one wants another launcher, but they may warmed players up to theirs. Any future game that requires it day one will be met with far more resistance than it would have if this PR disaster didn't exist.
Helldivers is estimated to have sold around 8 million units on Steam, which (also estimated) accounts for half of all games sales including PS5. There's no way they are turning their backs on that moving forward. However, it seems they are doing everything to botch it lol
They've had lots of success prior to Helldivers, as seen below from a December leak. TLOU was an abysmal port, and Uncharted 4 launched in a bad state too. They should have paired Miles and Spiderman together if they were going to release them so close together. Spiderman remastered still sold well. I'm sure the number far exceeds the Dec leak now.
A proper Bloodborne remaster would be massive. However, being an MP game I'm sure they'll want players signed up to PSN. Prior to this Helldivers debacle, that just wouldn't have been an issue. This goes for Demon's Souls as well.
I'm curious to see how well Ghost does after this mess. I'm definitely picking that up, PSN required or not. It will come down to the port quality, but it's looking stellar so far.
