Square Enix is slowly starting to realize that locking out a significant part of its potential customers with platform exclusivity will lead to most of those potential customers not buying their shit. It's like the first vestiges of conscious thought are starting to appear within their leadership.

I am happy it's on Steam, but admittedly Kingdom Hearts 3 is not the main offender here when they still have games trapped on single consoles. KH3 was already on PC, it's just more accessible now. Can't say the same about Final Fantasy 16 or Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth. Hopefully that is what they fix next.

They're both timed exclusives, and Square have said that they'd stop platform-exclusive releases after those two games failed to meet shareholders' expectations. Whether they'll actually go through with it, or get saturday morning cartoon villain yen sign pupils when Sony makes their next offer, I have no idea.

And then after saying that they’ll probably put it on epic games store first :/
