It's much easier to identify and block unwanted content when you have a direct line to the developer of the OS.
I find that hard to believe. You may think you read that a PC version would be be available at release, but they haven't even released the PC version of the FFVII remake, after a year.

Final Fantasy has always been, first and foremost, a console-oriented game series.
