I think sony is forcing this mandatory psn account on us to make their own launcher at some point

Like, it seems silly they do the whole trophy interface and all that unless they want people to go to their platform. Now Sony's plan was "well we want them to buy a ps5 to play the sequel" but that seems silly when they release the live service game at the same time.

I think they're preparing to force everyone to download the playstation launcher. Think about it. You already made the psn account to play ragnarok. You just use the same login on the playstation launcher. At that point the games wouldn't be released on steam anymore just the launcher.

I also doubt at that point it would just be playstation games. They could earn pc money getting sales from pc gamers too creating a UWP for releasing games on PC and playstation. If they take a page out of microsoft's book that is.

So some things I thought I should mention.

Sony will also get a reality check on the GTA 6 when a lot of people DO buy a console just to play GTA, but probably not the amount they were expecting. It will probably be people already on a console, some PC users sure but not the amount they expect.

Second, altough I won't buy any playstation games that require a psn account, I like the idea of this. Steam needs competition, the more competition the more gamers win. This could also be the thing that finally reduces the steam cut (more than it was already reduced, because steam did reduce it) because Epic kinda failed on that. Maybe they could even fix their steam community moderators issue.

The one thing is... if a playstation gamer buys a game on playstation, can they play it on PC? Knowing Sony, I doubt it. They sure want to convert PC players to playstation, just not playstation players to PC.
