    Money is money. Especially if its only porting over an existing game, that does not require too much money for, as it is in an engine made for this anyway. And it shows there is potential for grows. I don’t know about the numbers you just throw in, and how it compares in reality. So not commenting on that. Also the GAmes and Network Services, are these only Sony releases or are there third party games included?

    But what we do know is, that some games like Helldivers 2 are far more successful than some other games they have. If the games were put day one on Steam besides the Playstation release, and without requiring Playstation account on first day, it would probably have made more money.

    I wouldn’t dismiss this as just “nice extra market”. Otherwise why would Sony give up the exclusivity of their first party titles? Steam grows rapidly and is already bigger than the Playstation 5 user base will ever be.
