Absolutely, I would love to have them all on PC, I believe in preservation and everyone should play whatever they want wherever they please.

But there's a practical problem: none of them (except 1) met their sales target. On PC they were released late and overpriced, on a platform with an exponentially bigger catalogue. Their titles are all highly polished cinematic experiences that offer barely distinct gameplay loops & mechanics. On PS5, this visually attractive and low risk games are all good enough to meet the hype. On PC: late, overpriced, just "good" gameplay... just didn't cut it, It's just not enough. It's a failure factory.

They either fix their pipeline or they go back to what they know has worked in the past.

They chose the latter, and I think it's a mistake.
