I disagree, they learned not to have it, drop it, and re add it months later. What they failed to learn is the problem was also short of some cross play requirements, people on pc don’t want yet another account requirement.
Helldivers 2 is proof the learned nothing. You still can’t buy the game in all the countries that you can’t make a PSN account.
Or it proves that the Helldivers devs knew they had something special and chose to sabotage Sony’s bullshit.
I think if Sony want to push this they need to…
-
Make PSN available at least in all countries that Steam operates in.
-
Add cross-buy so if you buy a Sony published game for PC you also get it for Playstation and vice-versa.
-
Same as every corporation keep doing x until it’s just normal and then push the next line.
Or their goals are weirder than making customers happy.
This isn’t like Microsoft telling whole studios to jump through their ass and bring them a whole new market, on pain of death. Sony has reasons for pushing this shit in the first place - and they’ve done the math on how much that’s worth to them, versus profits and goodwill on PC. Suffice it to say their don’t give two shits about goodwill on PC. They’d like the money, but only if it does not threaten their grip on a completely separate platform they own and control and shave for an entire third of its revenue.
