No and it will most likely never happen. You can't play games you buy on steam on any console, and you can't play games you buy on console on steam.
It's not impossible. But seeing as Steam isn't a publisher and doesn't have rights to most of the games being sold any technical hurdles aside the legal impediments are endless and prohibitive.
Not everything that happens requires a reactionary response. After all EA just re-established itself on Steam this year an started bringing all it's games over to Steam. I'm not sure what imagined balance you're trying to maintain, but I don't think it's based in reason.
What's wrong with your PC? At any rate, there's no particular reason the PS5 should be compatible with existing PC games. If that's what Sony wanted they could have developed the PS5 with that functionality in mind.
Yes, non-technical people with no skin in the game often request unrealistic things and don't understand why it's not feasible. But that won't stop them from thinking it's a great idea and requesting it incessantly.
PS5 is a different infrastructure OS, as well different design hardware with its own instructions. Which most likely the games won't work 1:1, and same vice versa for PC.
Sony is not the kind of people that favor of playing ball with anyone really, rather they want to keep the ball in their own court if possible before going to others. For now some games are being released some games on PC via Steam, and Epic, but ATM they're still considering pushing their PSNow cloud gaming service still as well.
Now it would be great if Sony stop holding a grudge of playing with others, and adapt to supporting PC, but they rather still hold something's off the table, they have consider releasing more games on PC, but no one knows what that can refer to which games exactly.
thats why alot of the sony games went to epic store first and sony bought shares with epic they just love epic not valve. but i think microsoft would partner with valve first to see a cross between xbox/steam.
Steam can't magically make PC games run on console.
So what are these "alot of the sony games went to epic store first "because I can't even think of 1, and some of Sony's BIGGEST games have actually come to steam AND Epic at the same time Like Horizon Zero Dawn.
Sony would probably invest in Steam too, but they can't as Steam is fully owned and there are no shares available.
Um not really. They don't make money on consoles, they make their money off the games. So allowing an action that would reduce their primary source of revenue makes no sense.
Same reason why you can't do it on Xbox and Switch. They'd go out of business if people could buy games on steam and play them on the consoles. Valve would make a killing and the consoles would lose and get no benefit from it.
Yeah-- as it is right now, they dont-- they would have to work out some deal to spread their cut. -- So... yeah-- what was your point again?
But I don't care about a company's best interest, I care about my own as a consumer. I would give Sony 500 of my dollars and probably more dollars for exclusive games-- where as now I give them 0 dollars.
