Sad to hear the news that Sony will stop releasing its titles on PC, in spite of the huge success of popular hits like Horizon and Spider-Man. These are some of my favorite games to play on my PC, especially the Horizon and Uncharted sequels. I understand the desire to push their own hardware, but I generally think that this is a poor decision. The best justification I have seen comes from Steam Deck HQ, who point out that the shakeup at Xbox may be to blame:
[It is an] image issue for Sony, with the next Xbox console rumored to be running Windows, meaning future Xbox consoles could play PlayStation games if they were to release on PC.
Unfortunately, the logic here is reasonable, though I think Sony is leaving money on the table.

Great opening race. Happy with the pace of the Ferraris! Lewis looks like his old self. Not the best strategy, but I don’t think they had the pace to beat the Mercs anyway. The battle in the first 8-10 laps between Charles and George was epic! #F1 #ForzaFerrari

Since getting my AWOL Vision projector for my home theater a few years back, I’ve joined their “community showroom” program, and regularly host prospects. Just received the brand new Aetherion Max, and am excited to set it up!
