My Opinion:
The pertinent news here is the PlayStation Now on PC, specifically the questions it posies. Does this mean PS4 exclusives in the future will come to PC? Was this always the Plan? Or is PlayStation Now under performing in subscribers? QUESTIONS, QUESTIONS, QUESTIONS. Only time will tell. For now, PC players rejoice, Uncharted sloppy seconds are coming your way!
