A gaming community free from the hype and oversaturation of current releases, catering to gamers who wait at least 12 months after release to play a game. Whether it's price, waiting for bugs/issues to be patched, DLC to be released, don't meet the system requirements, or just haven't had the time to keep up with the latest releases.

Is there evidence to suggest that Sony was responsible for Persona 5 being exclusive for so long, and not Atlus's usual confusing nonsense? Honest question.

I know that when Xbox decided to consider PC as part of the "Xbox ecosystem" it lit the fire under Sony's butt to start porting some of their banger titles onto Steam, which is much appreciated. Days Gone, God of War, Uncharted 4, Spiderman, and Returnal were all fantastic on day one. Horizon needed some time to fix the issues but the PC version now does it justice way better than the original 30fps version.

Obviously I don't have first-hand information, but from I'd guess Sony is responsible for a lot of (japanese) games not coming to PC or Xbox, as Atlus isn't the only studio doing this that isn't owned by Sony.

Another thing that shows, that Sony has no interest in connecting gamers between systems is cross-play, which it blocks in various titles iirc.

I know it's the smart move to drive out competition when you're in charge of the biggest market share, but preventing gamers to play on any platform they choose is bad for them. I play exclusively on PC since the Gamecube (with the exception of the switch) so I'm very happy to see the PlayStation gulag crumbling with increasing Steam releases. We all profit from open platforms.
