A) Sell their games on PC - Effectively losing tens of millions on platformer fees to Valve - Who discount games on their stores quite frequently and had Sony's discounted fairly recently. Not to mention potentially losing tens, if not hundreds, of millions of dollars in hardware sales, which will then lead to reduced platformers' royalties, because now people who needed a PlayStation to buy and play Sony's 1st party games can now just wait patiently for the PC versions roughly 1-2 years later.

I'm pretty sure Valve absolutely cannot discount games from others without their permission. If Sony's games are discounted in PC, it's ultimately Sony's decision.

Even more reason to question Sony's decision-making as of late.
