[alt text: two frames from Spongebob, edited into a meme with extra images and text. The first frame shows Mr. Krabs, labeled "Sony", who is surrounded by different Playstation games, including The Last of Us, Spider-Man, God of War, and Ghost of Tsushima. Mr. Krabs is saying, "All of you, off to PC!". In the second frame, all of the games have left, except for Bloodborne. Mr. Krabs/"Sony" is pointing at Bloodborne and saying, "Except you, stay."]

Surprise, surprise. Gran Turismo is forgotten again

As is Infamous. I’m pretty sure there are plenty more but people really just focus on the ones in the photo

I'd love that, but a part of me is worried about Second Son feeling clunky in sections from having to either translate the motion and touchpad controls to another controller or keyboard, or they'd have to cut the interactive bits into animations.

Fr. Sony/polyphony missing out on so many fans of GT that don't buy consoles anymore.

And no microsoft, forza is not the same...

It's far less important now than it was a in the past. Gran Turismo 7 "only" sold 5.5 million copies, which is barely more than GT5 Prologue, a glorified paid demo. Even the very first game in the series was almost twice as successful.

Compare this to other current Playstation IPs: God of War: Ragnarök shipped 15 million copies, The Last of Us 2 and Spider-Man 2 at least 10 million each and Ghost of Tsushima 13 million.
