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

This has nothing to do with pokoko you were quoting, just about your last paragraph he touched on the PSN account issue.

Aside from the PC Master Race joke that some take as being a real representation of themselves, it's common to find people that goes as far to say that even if a game is free on Epic (which is a huge storefront and not a niche one) they still rather wait for a sale to buy it on Steam.

Some of the PC only crowd will avoid a game if it isn't on Steam. Just as much if not more loyalists that the console only crowd.

Finding issue with having to create a free PSN account to play all games from Sony on PC is beyond silly, and that becomes even sillier and a lot of them already have accounts for other devs, like Blizzard for Warcraft, Diablo, Overwatch, etc; Microsoft for Forza Horizon and Halo; Rockstar for GTA and Red Dead Redemption and many others, but boy oh boy how dare a Sony game asks you for a PSN account.

Sadly, some PC-Only people are pretty hypocritical. Steam deck was a fair price at launch for $400-$650, but Switch 2 isn't at $450? Locking a game down to be exclusive to a console is anti-consumer, but locking a game down with Denuvo isn't? Having multiple launchers and accounts is fine, until Sony asks for one? 

Except that isn't accurate.  Most PC gamers loathe multiple launchers and multiple accounts.  I have not bought a single Ubi game in a decade because of their stupid launcher requirement.  Same with EA, though I think they might have dropped it, I don't recall.  And multiple accounts, yeah, I avoid those as well.  I don't want to have to remember passwords for Steam, EA, Ubi, Sony, Blizzard, Rockstar, MS, etc, etc.  I absolutely prioritize games that don't require additional accounts.  I absolutely will not buy games that require a separate launcher.  There is a reason Ubi is doing under fast.  So, nobody is treating Sony differently than they treat other companies.
