It seems PlayStation is scrubbing any mention of ‘PC’ from its websites—gee I wonder why

After rumors cropped up suggesting PlayStation was moving away from PCs and back into the warm embrace of exclusivity, it appears the company is now actively retconning its webpages by omitting any mention of PC it can, instead promoting exclusive games and its own platform. As spotted by Game Observer, Sony seems to be refreshing its online presence, shifting from a lenient stance towards the PC platform to one that promotes exclusivity first and foremost. As that outlet says, PlayStation has removed mentions of defunct studios and apparently also scrubbed mentions of PC wherever it could. "The biggest change, however, is the removal of nearly all mentions of PC from the descriptions of PlayStation’s Studios. Only Nixxes Software, which focuses on PC ports, still includes the platform in its profile," Game Observer reports. User Zuby_Tech said on X that Sony, on top of moving away from PC, also began using more specific language targeting PlayStation exclusivity. XDEV's page, for example, went from vaguely talking of "external studios across the globe," to studios making "exciting, exclusive titles for PlayStation." https://twitter.com/Zuby_Tech/status/2039798070414893378 All of this comes after rumors started circulating that Sony is actively looking to distance itself from the PC market after spending several years porting its mainline franchises and titles to the platform. While it has never been confirmed, the company has been making moves that strongly suggest that this is the case, especially as Xbox now wants to incorporate PC into its upcoming console and with Steam making tremendous strides to capture as much of the gaming market as possible via Steam Machine, Steam Deck, and other solutions. Sony previously also said that it wants to keep some of its franchises permanently exclusive to sell consoles, but it seems we're in for a repeat of the 2000s, when Sony kept everything under wraps and solely available on PlayStation, leading to situations where games spent decades stuck on its consoles with no ports in sight. With the closure of Bluepoint and now this, I'm confident Sony is going to return to exclusivity as its primary strategy, leaving PC players in the dust once again.
