I only mentioned Steam once originally.
Yes, as a big point as to how it's helping Japanese developers, which you have yet to actually back up.
Yet you have somehow managed to spiral this convo into things I never said. This convo originally had literally nothing to do with PC.
Until you brought it up as a use to further move the goalpost away from the PS4.
It was about middleware vs ps4 and their importance in the current rise of Japanese console games.
Which no one tried to downplay middleware, while you've tried nothing but downplay the PS4.
You said that Steam is an afterthought - it isn't - and I corrected you on that fact.
Um, you've corrected nothing. For whatever reason you seem to ignore that your points are wrong.
Sega's PC ports are not done by Japan, but by Europe.
Falcom's PC releases are from before they were a console developer and I don't think any of their recent console releases are getting PC ports. And if they are it's not by them.
Square's PC ports are late and in some cases years late and in even some cases an after product of porting them to mobile.
Ports of other niche Japanese things are years late or done by Euro publishers.
You're only point is Street Fighter 5, but that's not really enough to say "yeah Steam is sitting up there with the PS4 in focus".
That makes me a PC fangirl?
When you actually ignore whats being said in order to make your platform seem better? Yes and seeing as you do nothing on this forum but say how awesome PC is and how glad you switched to it then I don't think I'm off the mark.
I'm willing to bet Exist Archive does as well.
I doubt it since it's on Vita. You know, like one of those other Vita and PS4 games that are probably made on both systems with a western release in mind because you know the PS4 is super successful. Which is what we've been saying this whole time.
I just merely think you over estimate console influence, especially ps4. If you really think the current Japanese Renaissance is due wholly to ps4, as low as its sales in Japan are, and not to easier to manage, free middleware, that makes shipping the game in time an easier accomplishment then 
It's like you've almost read nothing I've said.
Why use that middleware then?
Also if Steam is just as big, why not announce a PC version at the same time?
Oh because it is'nt.
I don't see why that's so hard for you to understand, especially within the context of SE. SE was brutally embarrassed all of last gen. FF13, 14, and 15 were long delayed, criticized, in the case of 13, more than half of its assets unused despite development costs, in the case of 15 not released even within ten years of its announcement. Releasing games on time and within budget is priority number one for them now. They cannot afford another loss in reputation. Yet you think being on ps4 is...more important than that. 
No I think easy middleware is helpful, but I also think there needs to be a market to sell those projects. The success of the PS4 has helped convince companies that it's worthwhile to have these projects. Not shit like Steam. Why you can't understand something I've said plenty of times I don't understand. Because if the PS4 wasn't I'm sure they'd be more then happy just going all in on mobile stuff.
I'm really not sure how you managed to make this convo steer out of control like this, but this combined with your GAF thread shenanigans really show that you have a really, really, really weird inferiority complex that makes you want to be right on the most trivial of things.
Sure whatever, better then trying to be the pretty unique snowflake crap you always bring to the table.
