It's only temporarily exclusive. Last I heard the plan was to release the PC edition 6-12 months after the PS5 version was released.

If the game is good, it's not really that long to wait and there are lots of other good games to play in the meantime. If the game ends up bad, you've saved yourself $80.

As to why exclusives still get made, corporate contracts and desire to increase market share of sales. Nothing new about that. Game developer gives platform maker a potentially big title as an exclusive in exchange for other considerations from the platform maker (like opportunity to release lesser games on that platform where they may get more notice and more sales).

Do you likewise complain about exclusives when it comes to all the games that are released only on PC?
