That shouldn't really effect anything but first party titles. Larian don't care about Sony's loss on the machine.
Sony takes a cut of all game sales, not just first party. Larian probably got a better deal with Steam and GoG than Sony and are passing the costs onto console players.
Yeah, but Larian shouldn't care if Sony get 30% of £50 or £70 to make up their PS5 losses.
If Larian sets the price at £50, they make £35 per sale. If Larian sets the price at £70, they make £49 per sale.
Larian cares, because Larian wants to make money.
