Overall Thoughts
Seeing PlayStation take PC support this seriously is amazing to see. There is a concern of them abandoning their platform or be distracted bring their content elsewhere, something their rival is trying to balance currently.
But in order to get profits needed for the huge experience PlayStation is typically known for, they need to bring their content to other places. And if you are doing so, make sure it’s a great experience for new players.
