It is 2026 and Sony has finished steaming Jim Ryan’s ghost out of the office sofa cushions once and for all. Per a report from Bloomberg, the PlayStation company is pulling all the way back on its strategy of releasing its exclusive games on PC, a U-turn on a welcome policy introduced during the Ryan…
