Controversy Over Porting PlayStation Games to PC: Fans Petition Against the Trend

Recently, many PlayStation games have been ported to PC, and the PC version “Ghost of Tsushima Director’s Cut” will also be released on May 17. However, in the midst of all this, a radical petition campaign saying “Don’t port PS jobs to PC” has started and is getting attention.

A petition was posted on Change, a foreign petition site, with the title “Stop Sony from porting more PlayStation games to PC.”

Signatory ‘NoMore PCPorts’ said: “SIE CEO Jim Ryan was wrong when he said there were ‘no side effects’ to releasing PlayStation games on PC. Nearly all PlayStation gamers disagree with this decision. “We were so blinded by the revenue potential that we decided to ignore it.

“I implore Sony/PlayStation/Jim Ryan to reconsider this decision. Remember, money isn’t everything. You have an unprecedented legacy to uphold and a loyal fan base who holds you in high esteem.” sum of money in a short period of time that could ruin his reputation forever. The PlayStation community is willing to forgive this error in judgment as we believe it is not too late to reverse this decision.”

The petition was signed by 301 people and included reasons such as “I don’t like PC ports that devalue the PlayStation”, “Exclusive games are important”, and “I have the spirit to cry when other people play with my toys”. Content like “You’re a retarded Sony fanboy” appeared.

Ultimately, users are calling for an end to PC ports of PS works based on the fact that “a custom experience for one platform” is best and that Nintendo Switch is successful.

This signing began in 2021. At the time only ‘Horizon Zero’ and ‘Days Gone’ were released, but now most of the works cited as examples have been ported to PC.

The Reddit user who discovered this signature posted it on the 7th and there is a lot of criticism about this petition. Reddit says, “This is our stuff and you can’t have it,” “I know (Monopoly) was really profitable, but I think it’s a disaster for gaming in general,” and “People really want other people to have fun.” It is not true? Is there a reason? Or are they just loser fanboys and don’t want their precious PS games on other platforms? I’m so confused. There were reactions like, “I didn’t know people could actually think like that.”

However, there are cases in which it is possible to play exclusive titles before other models, such as Stella Blade, Rise of Ronin and Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth, and there is also the advantage of being able to play comfortably without worrying about the performance of your device. .

Meanwhile, some fans are disappointed that From Software’s popular work ‘Blood Bone’, which fans have been waiting for for a long time, has not yet been ported to PC. Given that SIE is constantly being ported to PC, there seems to be a possibility, but there are no plans at the moment. In this regard, netizens respond with comments like “It is a project that mainly invested a lot of Sony’s capital, and it is too late for it to be released” and “If Sony doesn’t do it, it can’t do it.” be made.”
