Yes it's true. Emulators still have trouble getting around DRM and console-exclusives

But think about it this way. A PC can run PS3 games but a PS4 can't. A PC can run xbox 360 games but an xbox one can't.

I think all the console-exclusives out there are more than made up for by PCs being the ultimate backward-compatible gaming system

A launch model PS3 and a PS5 can play PS1/2/3/4/5 game discs, as well as PSN games, so that's pretty good.

Sadly the PSN store for PS3 is probably on its last legs though. Better download those games while it is still possible...

  • I wasn't aware there was that much backwards compatibility!

    To be fair, PS1, PS2, and PS3 games can all be played on PCs as well. PS4 and PS5 emulators are pretty incomplete
