Sony loves turning its back on the franchises that made it what it is today. Unfortunately, they don’t seem all that concerned about game preservation.

What are you even talking about. Every Jak game is available currently. They even updated them like a month ago to run better! Same goes for Uncharted. Not every game should be whored out until people grow to hate it. They had their time. They made some great games. They dipped out when they finished telling the stories they wanted to tell. Studios can only effectively work on so many games at the same time and rather than churn out endless sequels they're chosing to tell new stories that excite them, we shouldn't act like these are bad things. I too would like a Jak revival but we're a small fraction of the gaming world, let them make what they want to make.

You can’t keep every franchise running forever. I’d rather see a good final entry to a series and let it end with dignity rather than pump out garbage until it’s no longer profitable.

That's basically everyone not only a Sony issue.

People praise Steam, but 90% of old games they sell runs like shit or don't even run on a modern PC without hundreads of fixes.

I tried to play some games I bought there like Gun, Psychonauts 1, Call of Duty 2, Wolfenstein, Alice Madness Returns, Tomb Raider 4, Soul Reaver (the original, not the remaster), and I had to download a lot of fixes for them because how glitched they were. And I own a high end PC that runs fine games like Warhammer 40k Space Marine 2 and Silent Hill 2 Remake.

What you're talking about is a completely different issue and is just what happens with older games and newer hardware, which is just a given. Valve just sells the games. If you want to play older games, you buy them on GOG, where they mostly work, or pirate them.

I think it’s totally fine for some franchises to stop at certain points. For example, InFamous 2 was a fantastic ending for Cole’s story and if we never see him again (outside of a PSASBR 2 please) I would be okay with that. But you’re absolutely right that there are so many wonderful IP’s that Sony has kinda just left. What games does the PS5 even have? A new Ratchet and Clank, and a new God of War. Okay both pretty good, but what? 2 games?

I mean, 4 felt like a good place to stop. That aside, the next thing uncharted allegedly is getting a remake of 1, or that's info I got mixed around with the remake of the last of us 1.
