the lack of new first party exclusives

This is good; exclusivity hurts consumers.

Honestly, I have no issue with exclusives as long as they get released on another platform after a while. Sony's been good about releasing a lot of the hits on PC after a couple years, so aside from missing the initial hype, I haven't really missed out being PC only.

Exclusives that stay exclusive indefinitely, I basically treat those games as if they don't exist. I don't have anywhere to put a PS5, nor a desire to get one really, and as far as I know they make most of their money from game sales anyway. I don't see much value in them locking people out of their games completely.
