The rumors come from Nicolas Sutrich of Android Central:

“Sources close to Android Central have revealed that Sony is making deep cuts to funding for VR games. While I’ll paraphrase for anonymity, my source was told that there will be very few opportunities for VR game development at Sony going forward,” Sutrich writes.

“To back that up, another source informed me that only two PSVR 2 games are in development at Sony.”

    When they announced PC support was coming, I really wanted to get one just for that, but when they revealed all the features that won’t work on PC, it started looking like a worse deal than the Quest 3 and more like a side-grade from the Quest 2.

      Sony has a terrible history with making their devices portable to other platforms.

      VR was well established by the time they joined the party, especially by the time v2 came along. It was a decision to ignore integrating with PC protocols when designing their hardware and drivers.

      Sadly, very predictable for Sony. They would rather have poorer sales than to open their devices to be used outside of their platform, and vice versa.

      Nothing has stopped them from making their controllers compatible with PC besides refusal to pay a licensing fee to Microsoft, which must be trivial compared to the increased sales of their standard controllers. Hell, I bought a couple Xbox controllers just I could avoid fucking with 3rd party dual shock drivers every fucking time I tried using them on PC. And I much prefer the Playstation controllers.
