Yesterday announcement role-playing action Horizon: Zero Dawn on PC was a real surprise for many fans, despite the fact that rumors about this have been around since the end of last year. The news provoked heated discussions on various websites, forums and social networks both in our country and abroad. The official English-language PlayStation blog, where the information first appeared, was no exception.
A considerable part of active users speak negatively about Sony’s decision. The platform holder is accused of false advertising, recalling the dies “Only on the PlayStation”, flaunting on boxes with Horizon: Zero Dawn discs and in commercials.
Sony emphasizes that porting Horizon: Zero Dawn to a PC does not mean that now all of its games will be released on computers, but at the same time it does not exclude that other ports may appear on the PC in the future (albeit not exactly at the same time of these products on the PlayStation). Some users regard this as a “betrayal” and write about their thoughts to refuse to purchase the PlayStation 5 and switch to a PC, because they said they bought the consoles primarily for exclusives. Some players also admit that they are confused and do not know what to expect now.
“And let’s just skip the PlayStation 5 and go straight to the PC. Good luck to you, Sony, with the new“ exclusives ”policy. The Japanese leadership was better. I was with you from the original PlayStation to PlayStation 4, but I don’t think I will acquire PlayStation 5 because there will be no exclusives, “one user wrote.
“Horizon: Zero Dawn is coming to PC? Who needs the PS5 now? This is the start of the PlayStation crash,” said another commentator.
“I think this is a mistake. Transferring exclusive PlayStation games to PCs can be profitable in the short term, but in the long run it will be detrimental to the PlayStation brand as a whole.”
“This means that the inscription” Only on the PlayStation “on my boxes with games means nothing more. Thank you for saving my money. I send my regards to Suhei Yoshida, he did not make such decisions.”
“Since Horizon: Zero Dawn goes to PC and the PlayStation Only plate now doesn’t mean anything, I’ll think twice before buying a PlayStation 5.”
“Heavy Rain, Beyond Two Souls, Detroit Become Human, The Journey, Flower, Death Stranding and now Horizon: Zero Dawn. PC is becoming the best way to play PlayStation exclusives.”
“You just sold me a PC, Hulst! Great job, go on.”
“There’s absolutely no point now buying a PlayStation 5. I’m better investing in improving my PC. Sony is destroying its legacy.”
“I have owned ALL PlayStation consoles from the day they were launched. I bought them to play exclusive games. Sometimes I also bought multiplatform games on the console, but not often. I try to buy ALL first-class Sony games on the day they come out at full cost. I I support developers of great games with their money so that they continue to produce cool exclusives, but I don’t want to give hard-earned money to studios that spend it on PC ports. I want my money to be used to create EXCLUSIVE games. for they have for decades made me stay with PlayStation.
Sony is not Microsoft with the Xbox, stop following them like sheep. At least after reading these comments, I’m sure you can understand that your decision left a very bad aftertaste for many PlayStation fans. This can come back to you and turn into a precarious position at the start of the next generation.
I’m sure that you already earned enough money selling games without dirtying the PlayStation brand. I suppose Sean Leiden left because of this? He wouldn’t like the idea of PlayStation exclusives on PC. “
“And how do we now navigate? What will happen next? God of War [на ПК]? Uncharted? The last of us? What is PlayStation Only today? 25 years of history and traditions were destroyed by one man and his greedy stupid decision […]
Sony should lead a true Samurai that respects tradition.
Order RTX 2080 Super. “
Among the comments there are neutral ones. Their authors note that in any case they are not going to switch to a PC, as they are used to console gaming, and are just waiting for new expensive large-scale games from Sony.
There were also such owners of the PlayStation 4 who were happy with the PC port – they say that they love both the console and the PC, and now they want to replay the game with better graphics.
However, there are many negative messages and they are involuntarily striking. Similar things are happening, for example, on Twitter. Under records chapters SIE Worldwide Studios Hermann Hulst, who announced the PC version of Horizon, you can see a flurry of tweets about “betraying brand ideals,” “turning into Xbox number two,” and “insignificant American management.” The former Guerrilla Games executive is also accused of false advertising, pointing to the PlayStation Only dice.
Hulst himself does not respond to these messages.
