Correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm pretty sure FF7R is still only available on PS4 and PS5. I don't think FF16 being only available through a Sony console (on launch) has anything to do with any of the devs abilities.
I don't question their abilities, just the fact that the OS Windows is so easily manipulated and wide spread. FFXVI was originally intended to be published on PS5 AND Windows, at launch, but that changed at about the same time as the botting industry flooded FFXIV, thus hinting at the developers accepting the fact that they don't have the resources to stop botting with Windows as a plattform, and therefor publishing the next in the series (FFXVI) exclusively on PS5, which they have much more control over, with their close cooperation with Sony. It's much easier to identify and block unwanted content when you have a direct line to the developer of the OS.
