Might have also realized after Arrowhead got fucked on the Helldivers 2 fiasco that Sony is an unpredictable bear of a corporation that will instantly chew up and leave their "partner" studios hanging out to dry at a seconds notice.
Fuck me for not owning a Playstation... PC version of FF7 Remake was awesome on Steam but had some weird compatibility issues or something. Picking Ultra created fog and made it look like shit.
SE has stopped caring about its customers a long time ago. They never bothered to fix their old broken PC ports either like 13, 13-2, and the old 3, 5, and 6 games. FF16 is still exclusive to PS5, 7R Integrade was exclusive to EGS until June 2022, and they really went all-in on Metaverse/NFTs.
IMO, they died when Sakaguchi left in 2003 and hasn't been the same since. It's always Ship of Thesus with these once legendary companies.
