Actually, I'd pay more if they made a better effort. I'm confused by what the goal is though. Do they want to turn PS Now into a Netflix/Gamepass type of service? If so, I think the PC support becomes an issue. Given Sony clearly doesn't want PC users accessing much 1st party content. If anything PS Now should just be for PS1/PS2/PS3 games and focus on making that library as robust as possible. And again, let people access PS1/PS2/PS3 games they own digitally if publishers approve. Much like how BC on Xbox works. While PS4 and PS5 should get a Gamepass service for maybe $60 a year and maybe it would have 100-200 games, but without day one launch games. Instead Sony is lumping this together and its a mess. |
I don't think Sony wants it to be like Gamepass or netflix but more as a service for those who want to play last gen games. In the end, Sony's focus is much more on selling their consoles. By releasing a streaming version of PS Now on pc, a bigger audience gets a small taste in the hope that'll convince them to buy one. Who knows, maybe that will change, but I sure hope not. At least not in the beginning of a new console generation where Sony has to build their install base from scratch.
