Steam now generates three times more revenue for Capcom than PlayStation

Then maybe they should fucking optimise their PC ports.

Still amazed how well Wilds sold after that dumpster fire of a demo.
I'd also recommend they open up the co-op more, but common sense multiplayer seems a bridge too far 🙄
- I am one of the unfortunate ones for whom the demo ran perfectly, so I thought the full release would too. It did not.
I agree, but they have no incentive to do so when gamers buy it anyway. People need to vote with their wallets.
Call of Duty sales suggest this isn't happening.
- People do vote with their wallets. They say it's ok.
- People need to vote with their wallets.
  that's why many companies seek to optimize their ports to work for mobile gaming. call of duty mobile -vs- cod pc or console is a case of that imo
To be fair performance was poopy on ps5 too

While it’s great that they’re doing well on the only truly open gaming platform, it’s a shame that they’re being rewarded for infecting their games with anti-consumer malware. Any company that uses Denuvo lacks moral fibre and deserves to fail.

Isn't it only 3rd party games with that and steam warns you about it though?
- What do you mean? Pretty much every game on Steam is "third party." They do mention certain things on the store though, like kernel level anti-cheat or needing a third party account, though I don't know how many people check that.
- It exists solely to rob consumers of ownership of their purchases. It can, has, and will continue to result in people losing access to products they have paid for and to which they have every ethical right. Performance impact is beside the point. DRM is theft and Denuvo is the worst offender out there.
- There are 2 schools of thought. Those that are against the entire concept of software that tries to control how you use it, drm/anticheat/etc in any form is malware to them. And those that accept it might be acceptable in principle (eg for anticheat especially), but believe denouvo and certain other drm programs go too far and cross a line (especially when they hook into the kernel or start tracking things outside the game that they have no business tracking).

Who could have guessed that when game companies make their games available for sale, they will make money from game sales!?

we've come a long way since the days of console exclusives with no pc ports to this. I remember feeling happy that more publishers started releasing games on PC, now it's just expected.

Fantastic, now when are we getting Steam ports of Viewtiful Joe and God Hand?

I hope more game companies will follow. Consoles are good. Consoles exclusives are not.

Why does Steam generate any revenue for PlayStation?

The wording is a little weird, but it's about Capcom finances. They make more selling games on steam than selling on the Playstation. So steam/pc is a bigger market than Playstation consoles for Capcom.
- Ah got it
I think they technically do, with stuff like Helldivers 2, Spiderman games, etc. I have Helldivers 2, but stopped playing it for a while in protest when they tried to make you use a PlayStation account for it, essentially cutting off a bunch of players in countries PlayStation doesn't operate in.

Of course it does, the install base dwarfs PlayStation. Go where the money is to find money. Business is not that hard.

The install base with hardware capable of running their main releases though is probably dwarfed by PlayStation.

I mean……… yeah
