130K now! I'm wondering if it'll reach Arc Raiders beta peak at 190K.

Strong start though! I always knew it would, but whether it ends up actually being good, allowing for word of mouth to spread, that's a different story.

This weekend is arguably more important to Marathon's success than the game's actual launch.

Natethehate has also said now that Sony is "shifting their pc strategy".

Seems like something is up.

Its Xboxover.

RIP Playstation PC Initiative 2021-2026.

Digital Foundry also said something similar to this in a vid this week. 

Sony will still be releasing their live service games on PC lol. The initiative isn't entirely dead. 

True! lol that and third-party published games may also be on the exemption list. Your Death Stranding's and Kena's of the gaming world.

I think there's definitely something to this and its been speculated by quite a few people already.

I suspect they're going to try and max hardware sales the next 2 years with GTA/Wolverine/Intergalactic and potentially launch new hardware in the peak of all that momentum (Portable)

With RAM making PC hardware even less affordable maybe Sony see a bit of an opportunity to squeeze some of the new generation into their ecosystem. 

Me watching Marathon being TT on X under the fitness category: "Haha X you dumb fucks"

Me watching NIXXES being TT on X: SONY DON'T DO THIS, FUUUCK.

It results that Nixxes is TT because of that no more porting rumor and obviously people now are talking shit about why they acquired Nixxes but lil bros don't know Nixxes has been a support development for a couple years now, they did the heavy lifting in the Horizon remastered and now they are helping the development of SAROS.

Yeah Nixxes has really become a mutli-tool developer! Still a lot that they can do. And with how long a lot of Sony's games take to make, they can use all the help they can get.

Sony should have kept PC support exclusive to multiplayer games (day 1), late porting small-ish and 2nd party titles (1-2 years later), and late porting (5 years or more) games with huge potential on PC like Bloodborne. Porting legacy titles would be cool too.

It makes sense that they're finally limiting PC support because all it's doing is make Playstation redundant to a fairly large number of gamers that could only grow larger over time. It's tarnishing the image of Playstation which once upon a time dominated in 3rd party exclusives as well. In some ways, PS2 and PS5 couldn't be more different. The PS1 and PS2 felt like unique worlds.

I think Sony's idea was that by introducing their games to PC gamers, many of them would become new fans and buy a PS5 to play the sequels early rather than wait a couple of years. Surprisingly, the first wave of their major singleplayer games on PC (Horizon, Spider-Man, God of War) sold much better than their sequels. And perhaps they know that the sequels didn't bring as many PC gamers to PS5 as they had hoped. So what they were left with is an impression that "Playstation has no games", which can be disasterous if it snowballs.

Now the challenge is in convincing everyone that their major singleplayer games are genuinely exclusive and that they won't backpedal. They're going to need an entire generation of commitment before most people are convinced lol.
