One of the few times being an extremely greedy company actually benefits the consumers.
If it means quicker ports of exclusives like Spider-Man 2 and Ragnarok, I’m all for this.
We’re already looking at an exclusivity window for Final Fantasy reduced to just a few months, so here’s hoping.
Gran Turismo on PC when?
Would licensing be a concern there? My guess is their current agreements are probably only for console release.
I dont think it would be much of one. Unless there is like a Fortza has XBOX and PC and GT gets PS lic kinda thing, but I would think all the car makers would be happy to get more shine for their cars.
It’s not just cars. The music, courses, parts, racing liveries, probably more stuff. And I’m sure those contracts limit what they can do significantly.
Even if all of those companies would want to continue to be involved on a PC release, those legal agreements would have to be amended. They’re probably partway through upping those agreements for GT8, so if they have plans for a PC release it’ll probably easier and cheaper if it’s done that way from the start.
It would make sense for them to do something this next month coming up as its their 25th anniversary, and to put some more tinfoil on this hat, its really odd that Fanatec just refreshed the GT wheel combo (for a cool 1300$ out of no where for a 2 year old game). Just me on the copium truck huffing it.
Car makers and video game licensing are a super weird combo though. They tend to misunderstand the medium completely and then do really weird BS based on their advertising strategy. Remember when destruction models were all the rage but certain cars didn’t take a dent even when you rammed them into a steel wall close to the speed of sound?
It’s a license to print money, they’d be stupid not to.
PLEASE. FFS, exclusivity is BS and we need to move away from it.
It takes companies a long time to realize sharing can actually result in making more money.

I’m not buying anymore Sony PC ports at all until we get Bloodborne or Demon’s Souls.
Yesterday they weren’t releasing any new major games until 2025.
Obligatory Bloodborne when?
Demon souls remake for pc too?
Sure, but only after Bloodborne. The PS4 gem locked to one console matters far more to me than the PS5 remake of a PS3 game that I could emulate no problem.
Ghost of Tsushima when?
