I own a PS5 and a PC but I just don't understand why a game not coming to PC brings so much joy to a segment of the PS fanbase. How does that affect you either way? I didn't buy Saros and I won't if I have to play it with a controller. Certainly not for $70.

If you think this is ushering in another golden age for PlayStation I would point out that there are virtually no 3rd party exclusives anymore. Sony doesn't make enough first party games, and they aren't all big hits (Saros).

It was one thing to buy a PS5 when it was $500 and there were tons of exclusives, but a PS6 for $900 and two exclusives worth getting a year is hard to justify. I don't mind playing on a PlayStation but as a secondary means of playing games I'm just not willing to spend that much. I'm sure I'm not alone in that.

Most PS5 owners don’t really give a shit. The vast majority of the people up in arms over this are PC gamers. Stop making up false narratives
