What happened to first-party and console exclusive games?

They don't make enough money anymore.

EDIT: To elaborate more, it's basically what I said in my original reply. Games are so expensive to make these days that locking them down to a single console is actually a money losing proposition.

Just look at all of the publishers/developers who have gone back to Steam despite the fact that Epic provides a better cut of the money. You have to reach as many customers as possible to make your money back and net a profit.

The only 1st party that actually bet on the right horse was Nintendo. They stopped chasing the fidelity train. Sony and Microsoft are stuck with having to produce even more powerful hardware to entice customers to keep coming back. Gamers want the "best" graphics so that's who they have to cater to. And when you're chasing graphics, your budget skyrockets.

I upgraded my computer monitor, but even though a PS5 or Xbox Series X seems like I can swing the cost, I just don't see any appeal in either console.

What happened to first-party and console exclusive games? Why buy a console when I can get the same game on PC?

@BLUEVOODU
I thought this was it. Our community is small as it is. I kept thinking at least I would have wanted to say good-by.  I try coming here once a day. Glad to see this thing is back...
I like forums even though they are a thing of the past that have been buried and ran over by the social media bus.
I'm here for the long haul. I guess I will continue to work on some projects for posting.

There is a new Delta Force: Black Hawk Down coming out!     This game looks good... but seems the reviews so far are mixed on Steam. 

Trailer:


I used to play all of the Delta Force games by NovaLogic.  Delta Force: Black Hawk Down released by Novalogic a couple decades ago was amazing... well ahead of its time... in my opinion.  The new game appears to not have any affiliation with the old Novalogic... which was absorbed by THQ.   My understanding is NO ONE from the old team is working on the new game.

I'm wondering how good this game is.  I'm thinking of trying it.  Is anyone else watching or looking into this game?
