Their CEO originally claimed they were only porting exclusives to PC in order to get more people interested in buying PlayStation consoles. Steam sales didn't increase PS console purchases, so they've decided to stop porting games to PC.

Nevermind that opening your games to more sources will rake in more money than keeping them locked down behind your singular platform.

You're looking at it like the goal is to increase revenue while the actual goal is to increase user counts within their walled garden.

More users makes the investors tingle, and especially when those users are giving 100% of the purchase price to Sony for first-party titles and 30% for third-party.
