    I bought most of the PS games because they’re my favorites but I’ve been a PC gamer for like 15 years now and would not and absolutely will not switch to a console, for many reasons but largely because it’s just a dick move to get people into their ecosystem.

    And I’ll say I got into because a friend donated their old system to me. None of my consoles ever lasted as long as that old machine. I had to replace the PSU at one point. And when I got a new system I swapped it in there as well. Try recycling your PS4 PSU into a PS5.

    If they had a PS store for PC I would have bought from there as well and skipped Steam (provided it wasn’t complete as like most other launchers).

    At the same time I know many people who bought a PS in lieu or in addition to their PC just for exclusives so I’m sure it’s a winning strategy for them.
