I think it's fair to say Sony actually doesn't care about a successful game or not. They want a permanent recurring slice of the PC gaming market pie. Games be damned. They want their own platform like epic
I'm sure the thinking is, Sony is already making games for this PlayStation platform. With publisher money and in-house studios. Creating their own online store platform like epic, would just be extra money for them. And help grow a market they haven't tapped yet. They're not thinking about it as giving up money that they could have made just by being on steam.
This is a big hypothetical, I'm doing lots of projection, and reading into their PSN moves. But it lines up
