You know how gpu tech demo usually looks great?

Well exclusives used to be tech showcases for their respective consoles. I loved those "console wars".

But reality is, Xbox/MS dropped the ball, console became common x86 hardware (in its core same and similar to a PC).

So, porting a game is much, much easier. And as he said, its like printing money. So I understand.

But I will surely miss those old days.

With the Ps5 being as expensive as it is and it not selling particular well due to limited supply and scalping. It makes sense to allow PS5 exclusives Or just PS games in general to be run on the pc. There are more people that own a pc than a Ps5. A lot of computers these days have more than enough power so why the hell not?

Just have it so that not every PS game is going to make it onto PC to at least give people some incentive to MAYBE picking up a console. You gotta let that worm dangle a little to catch all the fish.
2022 called, it want its news back

ps5 sells very well, there's bo shortage since covid ended much less scalpers...
