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.  

So you'll miss the games you like because you need to set up a free account or have another launcher?

I really can't understand it, if they charged for it, sure, would make a lot of sense, but come on...

Were people not gaming on PC before Steam?

I have found memories of my desktop filled with game icons from all over the place, and even the launcher for Gunbound is still ingrained in my mind and looking at it would make me happy right now lol. Or logging in websites to play games on an internet page because they interested me.

I understand having all in one place is desirable, but avoiding games because of it?... it literally cost you nothing.
