the hypocrisy of "PS5 exclusives"

they want these games to be exclusives but not really, they know console exclusivity is a illogical financial practice because limiting a game to one platform is limiting the amount of potential sales , so they make people think they need to buy a PS5 to play these games and after they suckered the suckers to do that they release the games on PC where anyone can get the game for like half the price LOL

....if i owned a PS5 i'd be pissed right now, imagine spending money on a PS5+hardrive upgrade + a monthly fee + full price for "exclusive titles"+ a 4K TV ( which is pretty much a requirement otherwise ur not getting your money's worth out of the console) only for these "exclusive titles" to make their way to PC a few years later for like half the price

console gaming is such a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ scam , especially the monthly fee required for multiplayer access

most people are fully aware of this, like most of the streamers i watch are gaming on PC they don't even own a PS5, which is refreshing to see that not everyone is falling for Sony's scam

Specific Beef har Marvel's Spider-Man: Miles Morales

For two decades, "PS exclusive" was a hard rule. It was never illogical because it sold systems, which was the entire point. This is subsidised game development, and it's not about getting the most unit sales but increasing the perceived value of the console. A game could cost more to develop than it made in unit sales, and it would still be worth it: a loss leader. ("Timed exclusivity" is also an old concept. I don't know why it's such a shock to you.)

It's still the same principle now, but they've sensibly softened the rule. 2+ years of exclusivity still provides a great reason to buy a PS to play those games, and expanding to PC later is an obvious way to maximise profit. If you're happy waiting years to play games, then no amount of permanent exclusivity was ever likely to move you to buy a PS anyway and you're not the kind of customer they're seeking for hardware sales. The customers Sony wants are very much aware that they could wait to get Horizon, Returnal, TLOU, Uncharted etc on PC, but they still choose not to because it's not worth the inconvenience to them.

PC has benefits, but if you want the most out of it then it has extraordinarily high (barely) hidden costs, too. You might not be paying a subscription, but you might as well be given the costs of the best graphics cards, CPUs, SSDs, monitors etc.

I wouldn't. When I love a game, I want as many other people to be able to play it. It makes me happy to think of more people experiencing it, and I'm happy for those people who are proud of working on the game seeing their creations reach yet more eyes.
