If Sony just sold PC ports, people would be happier and Sony would be making money.
For a while that’s exactly what they were doing… https://www.ign.com/articles/sony-ditches-mention-of-pc-releases-from-business-strategy-document-as-playstations-single-player-games-now-expected-to-be-fully-exclusive
And just like that. The facade that G*mers hate AI disappears.
Ah, on the one hand, I really celebrate it for kicking Sony in the shins.
On the other hand, it’ll still be vibe-coded and most probably under-tested as a result. Personally, I don’t even know whether there was much scrutiny of the code, too. Maybe that’s my slop-induced bias against AI stuff speaking, though.
I’d be less worried about bugs and more worried about malware. Pirated software has always been a minefield in that regard, with some warez groups having better reputations than others for not fucking people. With the ease of vibe coded ports and vibe coded malware, I’d expect to start seeing ports like these coming with trojans that turn peoples’ PCs into botnet members.
