Sony won't be doing PC ports for big single player games anymore

Fair correction and the data is hard to find, but per Gamespot report:

"In total, the report said Sony's five top-selling PC releases on Steam have passed 43 million copies sold collectively. The gross revenue from these sales reportedly amounted to $1.5 billion. This includes $1.2 billion for Sony and Valve's cut of $350 million or more. "

I mean my overall point stands...  Sony is making over a billion from PC.  Which is why I don't trust this rumor tbh.  I would be shocked if Sony drops PC support, way too much in easy money.

A lot of it comes from Helldivers 2, which will stay on PC, like Marathon and so on, Sony is making the decision to leave those to profit there.

As far I as remember Horizon Zero Dawn was the best selling Playstation game (excluding live service) on PC and it was the very first one. Sounds like it was getting less relevant and not more, which could be part of the decision reported today.

This is not a rumor btw, it's a report from a journalist that literally I haven't seem get anything wrong, as far as I know from here for several years now, you can 100% expect this decision to be made official from Sony soon enough.

Hell 2 is roughly 28% of their top 5 games on Steam, which means the other title still pulled in $850,000,000...  seems like a chunk of change to me.  

I get he is a reliable journalist, but until it is confirmed I will keep hope.  I just don't see Sony walking away from $850,000,000+.  Not when hardware costs are rising.  But I could easily be wrong.

sc94597 said it better than I could.  I personally think his point is spot on.
