I don’t think that the kind of data Sony (PSN) has enough value to be considered an asset.

I don’t think they can replace Steam, PC gamers trust Steam… a lot. But with the exclusives they can have an offer compelling enough to be real competition. Maybe offer the game on PC and their consoles for example (that would be neat).

My hypothesis: They are preparing to compete with Steam, and to do so they need to have a compelling argument to make PC gamers consider their store instead of Steam. EPIC became relevant by giving free games for years; Sony will build an exclusives’ portfolio and then launch its own store. As this store will be available only where PSN already is, they probably don’t want to commit to keep the game working on these countries after migrating from Steam, so better to not sell now to avoid headaches later.

People think computer as magic. That would be nice to make people understand that it’s not. That’s pretty much a dumb machine where we put our intelligence to work.

I remember getting 9x improvement on a set of Shell scripts at work, piping the results instead of writing and reading from files at each step.
