Smart move by Sony.
PC is not a competitor of consoles, they serve two different markets. And Sony is gearing up to collect bank from both.

That’s what I initially thought but then again how profitable is the PC market? Isn’t it notorious for piracy?

Publishers have said piracy only affects the first week of sales.

That's why a lot of ports come out a few months after consoles. Offering this game now is just extra money plus hype for the sequel which is rumored to be a launch title for PS5

Great news if you're one of those odd PC only gamers. Are they going to charge full price for it?

I woulda agreed with that...before steam and how easy it became to build a pc.

Long term I don't think this is a good move

What could be bad about this?
There will always be a significant console only gamer market, and console will always have a hold over the casual gamer because of three concepts: Simplicity, convenience and familiarity. Doubly so if Sony continues to require PC gamers wait a year or two after the game’s initial console release.

This.

Someone please remind brehs how many game consoles where sold in this last generation...

People, even with a healthy awareness of PC
gaming, are very much not going to move into the PC gaming world at all.

For years, PC gaming has claimed to have lower prices, easier manageability, friendlier than usual user interface, and the ability to do a nikka's college thesis on it yet that won't away minions upon millions of people.
