Actually, what I posted there is completely in line with what I've said here. In that thread I was happy that a port of GoW was announced as coming to PC. The announcement for that port was roughly 3 months before release, which is entirely within my parameter of "announce and release the game within 9 months."

I did make a reference towards GoW: Rags coming in 2024, but that's just my hope and prediction. If Sony announced Rags would come in 2023 or 2024 I would likewise say that is entirely too early to announce it, but they didn't announce that so I have no issues on that game. I don't mind it when people build up expectations for games themselves only to be disappointed by lack of announcements/release dates for new games, but I do mind it when developers build up expectations by announcing games entirely too early, which is my point here.

Whatever floats your boat. Hope you don't go too crazy waiting.

Also it has clearly been stated that this State of Play will focus on 3rd Party Titles. So if they take a few years to come out after announcement then Sony has no control over that just as you stated in your defense of Nintendo a few posts above. So whatever point your trying to make doesn't make sense.

That meme doesn't apply to this situation. I'm not saying I'm okay waiting for games on PC vs. PS. I don't expect ANY Sony games to come to PC. When they do, they are a pleasant surprise, so I don't have years of expectation or "waiting" built up. Prior to the other day, I had no expectation of GoW ever coming to PC, so when they announced that it was coming and within a few months, that was fantastic news for me. If they announced GoW was coming but not until January 2023, I'd be super annoyed. Don't announce it until it's 9 months or less from releasing on the platform you are announcing it for is what I'm saying I want.

As for the third party being the main focus of this one, I was not aware of that and yeah, none of that is Sony's fault. My view isn't against Sony, moreso against the entire industry outside of a few companies. I even mentioned FF 7 R earlier, which is a SE game, as a prime example of this widespread problem. It isn't even close to only Sony doing this.
