Sony is sulking again

According to Bloomberg, Sony is sulking again and will take their toys away from the unworthy PC players. And yes, it is all down to money. And stupidity.
Sony, to much surprise of the markets, decided in past few years to dip their toes in the PC market by offering their single player games to be available for the non-console players. It was surprising mostly because of their staunch belief that those games were bringing new players to their hardware.
According to Bloomberg, this experiment was deemed a fail by Sony, so they will not offer any more of their single player titles on PC. One of the factors, brought as an explanation, was the fact that the sales of those titles were not great. To be fair, Sony did very little to actually make them sell well - some of them required an additional account in PlayStation Network, (which might have put off some users and is unavailable in some countries), others were introduced on the PC platforms months, if not years, after the premiere on the console, so way past the best moment to actually sell them.
Or to put it in a different way: Sony nudged the doors slightly open for the PC players with very limited number of titles, most of them pass their sell-by date, with heavily caveated access rules, and after a short period of time they are shutting it down even before they gave enough time to lure some new users. Smart move, Sony, smart move indeed.
