Huge congratulations to everyone involved creating this incredible game, especially to @rclark98 for his memorable performance.
Nos últimos dias, o jornalista Jason Schreier comentou que a Sony teria voltado atrás na estratégia de levar seus jogos single player para o PC. Segundo ele, projetos como Ghost of Yotei e Saros, que estariam nos planos para a plataforma, acabaram sendo deixados de lado.
E eu, particularmente, acho isso uma decisão acertada.
Exclusivo sempre foi parte da força do PlayStation. Não é só sobre “segurar jogo”, é sobre identidade. Quando você sabe que determinada experiência só existe ali, o console ganha peso, ganha valor, ganha propósito.
A Sony tentou expandir para o PC, o que é compreensível do ponto de vista comercial. Mas se o retorno não foi o esperado, faz sentido recalcular a rota. Nem toda estratégia precisa ser permanente.
Pra mim, manter os grandes single player como exclusivos reforça tudo aquilo que construiu a marca ao longo dos anos. Se você quer viver essa experiência específica, vai precisar estar no PlayStation. Simples assim. E isso, querendo ou não, fortalece ainda mais o valor da própria marca.
