Sony acquires Nixxes, specialist in porting / optomizing console game to PC
Remember the Tomb Raider optimizations for PC?, that was Nixxes. But also Days Gone, Horizon Zero Dawn and Predator Hunting Grounds on PC. Sony acquired the company Nixxes, a specialist in making console ports to PC.
For more than 20 years now, Nixxes has been in business, and their latest work includes PC games ports such as Deus Ex, Mankind Divided, Avengers and the Tomb Raider trilogy ports that are currently developing.
The takeover has been announced on Twitter: “I am delighted to announce that talented Dutch studio Nixxes Software will join Playstation Studios. It is a real pleasure to welcome a team with such deep technical skill and vast experience to the Playstation family."
Sony is working on an uncharted 4 PC port, and the company would like more ports to be launched because it helps increase its title revenues without adding a lot of development costs. Sony clearly stated that its next PC releases won't be available on Playstation on the launch day, but we'll have to wait for a while for their exclusivity to end. However, it seems we can play several more titles on PC if we have patience.

No.
Days Gone is not a console port. It is an Unreal Engine 4 game which you just package your project to PC with only one click.
No.

Exactly how it was for me with games on Xbox. Was never gonna own a console for Gears of War, Forza, etc. Put them on PC, and I bought them.
From a business stand point it makes sense for Sony to port them on PC. People like me wont buy a PS5 but put it on Steam and im in. Im not the only one

Except for the fact that Sony relocated their HQ to California and went full woke. Expect all PS versions of games, including PC ports, to be hyper censored even where there is nothing to censor. Not to mention filled with political bias even if it's just the western translations. Even in fighting games where there is almost nothing there to censor outside of the mind of a juvenile retard, they've been censoring.
The absolute degenerates who support censorship with mockery/strawman arguments like "u mad u kant jack off to your games anymoar lol" are the scum of the earth, they have no real argument, or at best (if you can call it that) are projecting during their troll jobs.
It was only what? 2 years ago that Sony's hard censorship policies became public knowledge? And it's already caused so much BS. It seems anything that goes to California goes there to die of stupidity.
I won't pay a cent for wokeness, if I want any of their games, I'll pirate them. Get woke, go broke.
Like the most politically correct game of all, God of War, made in Santa Monica.
Unless you really missed the idiotic bouncing titties, I guess it's a very super politically correct game. Nothing weird or extreme in it. Wtf are you all people smoking.

If you want to pretend to be ignorant, despite that being impossible if you actually read anything that I wrote, that's your problem but don't come at me with your BS. "Idiotic bouncing titties", you just did what I described in that 2nd sentence. You want to be one of those assholes who ruins other people's hobbies for imaginary problems to make himself feel better, be my guest, but don't come at me pretending you have the high ground in all this, you just sound like an ass with that weaker than shit strawman.
