If the new games were any good, people would play new games. Enshittification + survivorship bias = people play old games.
There's good news though. Sony has PLENTY of old good games that aren't on steam. They could just release them. Making a PC port of a great game is much easier and cheaper than making a great game
If it? What's the market for new games on PC?
Steam, Epic, GoG, and some other markets.
Steam's records show that an overwhelming majority of playing time is going to older games. The market may not be large enough for Sony to care.
