Sorry, but this makes no sense. Fall behind Xbox in what way? Sells? Public perception? If it's sells, then why would they give away an incentive to purchase their hardware by publishing on PC? If it's public perception ... ??

Sony Interactive Entertainment Offically Publishing on the PC; Readyset Heroes on the EGS
- Thread starter Shard Shinjuku

Well yeah, exclusive to their platform. The equivalent would be a PC PSN, which I would prefer.
that's true, and clearly they're focusing on multiplayer, but I would be very hesitant to rule it out. particularly for second party games published by SIE on PS4 like Detroit, we've clearly seen that Sony is willing in some instances to allow them to come to PC. there's a general travel of direction that is more open to bringing games to PC and I don't think we should create the impression that they're absolutely ruling it out in future for games like Death Stranding or Detroit
''Readyset Heroes'' like games make sense as Shawn suggested.
Give all those games to the PC library and make money to create ever more expensive AAA Exclusive(therefore polished to the system) productions.
win-win.

Every EGS exclusive is timed. Unless it changed now just for this game (doubt)
Yeah no, Nintendo will never come to PC and emulation doesn't count.
Absolutely not. It honestly shouldn't be expected from any large publisher.
Not really, publishing on PC might be the reason they are publishing this at all.
If devs loose the PC audience by going with Sony they might not going with Sony at all.
Taking the temperature of the discourse here right now, it seems like this move is ok. Funny that...
It absolutely should. At this point, I expect basically any large publisher to skip Steam with their PC release. If you've got the money to pay for a major marketing campaign, why accept Steam's smaller sales cut?
Of course, not everyone's going to do that. The positive PR from being on Steam is still a factor, being in their store ecosystem has benefits - but my expectation is firmly set in companies taking the deal.
It's nice to have the exact quote, but the context in which he said those words is just as important ššš:

70/30 is the same cut Sony gives to 3rd parties on their digital store, so....?
I can understand indies making these deals (even though I still inherently disagree with "guaranteed success"), but large publishers don't need the safety net. It's pure greed in these cases, nothing else.
More or less, but it wasn't SIE, no? It says PlayStation Mobile Inc. on the steam page of Helldivers. :/
this is a pretty good point. All I'm saying it's weird because this is so far from their usual mo.
Though things change really fast in this industry, and this is another showcase of that
Yes... they did. LOL

No, they were not. SIE (SCE then) and SOE were two different branches of Sony Gaming Divisions iirc.
If this paves the way for Sony to port and publish their exclusives on PC, I won't even be mad if they're EGS exclusive. Give me some more War hawk.
That quote pretty much says it won't be only multiplayer games though.
In the quote no, but it was specified the context in which that quote was said:
Do you know what particularly means? It means mostly. Does mostly mean only? No, it doesn't so the original post you were quoting was correct.
Nintendo will make their own shop, most likely with even less features than EGS. If your PC breaks you will need to call Customer Service to transfer your purchases to a new PC. Online play will require a cell phone app for chat XD
What? Why would any business in their right mind actively chose a worse deal?? Publishers fund these games to make money. So has no alligences in the PC space. Why would they care?
Idk, to make customers satisfied?
I'm sure it will work to MS, AoE is already selling a lot. It wasn't selling at Windows Store before.
If by SFV you mean Street Fighter V, it is published by Capcom on PC, not by Sony.
LOL no. Mostly means "generally", which is quite the opposite š¤£š . Particularly means specifically. French is my native language, but come on dude... even I know that. šš

Lolol and who actually cares about that at all?
Its just a storefront. Only steam fanatics have a horse in this race.
Hell sony probably doesnt mind the bad optics because they want the PS4 to be the best place to play their games.
PC is purely an afterthought for them.
Oh, you're one of those who choose to ignore all the legitimate concerns the PC community has with EGS.
Not worth engaging with you any further, sorry.
Here's a serious question and one which might warrant its own thread but would people have a problem if Sony had their own launcher for PC that tied into PSN if it means having PC ports? No EGS, no Steam, no Xbox Store.
