Seems like Sony is less interested in alienating the PC platform than MS, and PC is MS's platform, in effect. Sony seems to be pretty happy to live and let live with PC as they probably don't see PC as a direct competitor.

And I'm not aware of Sony ever alienating Xbox with a game that is more popular on Xbox. The only real exampe of platform alienation aside from RoTR is Bayonetta 2, and unlike RoTR, Bayonetta 2 wouldn't exist without Nintendo helping to pay for it. I think Sony has pretty much got past the point where they feel the need to steal games that are popular on other platforms out from under the fanbase of those platforms. You might have been able to accuse Sony of doing that with Bloodborne, but really all that did was perhaps delay the development of Dark Souls 3, which has now been announced and fans on all platforms can be happy about that. And the Souls series was always more popular on PS anyway, so even if you could have drawn some tenous link between Bloodborne and RoTR, they are still not on the same level. So I really doubt you are likely to get your wish fulfilled in a manner that is more or less the same as RoTR's exclusivity deal.

Really?, I can't say I have the memory to rememebr the vast amount of titles SOny has made for PC compared to the ones MS has. This gen MS has decided that since it's losing that they want to do good by PC and throw more games towards that platform, meanwhile Sony decided to sell off SOE and of course exit the hardware space when they gave up VAIO, of course people will mention crossplay but at this point in the game we should have crossplay by default but also options to play against people on our own platforms servers, crossplay doesn't mean giving games though.

I just don't see Sony paying a lot more attention to PC gamers than MS is, sorry.

Aren't we talking about 3rd party? Why bring Sony and MS first party games into it?

Alienating and paying attention to are different things. Alienating is taking deliberate steps to keep things away from somone, paying attention to is taking deliberate steps to provide for someone. I never said Sony paid attention to PC, I just said that it seems like MS is willing to alienate PC moreso than Sony. And of course the more you originally provide to PC the more opportunity you have to alienate. RoTR vs SFV are the current cases in point. SFV day and date release on PC and PS4, despite Sony investing significantly in the game. RoTR delayed for PC by some months.
