Sony Delists Original Horizon Zero Dawn on PC, Forces PSN Requirement for Remaster - IGN

Sony’s controversial PlayStation Network requirement for its PC games is once again in the spotlight after the company delisted the original Horizon Zero Dawn on Steam and the Epic Games Store and added the PSN requirement to the upcoming single-player remaster.

I'm not a PC games guy but this is just wrong in so many levels regardless.

One: game preservation. Secondly this is yet another negative thing about digital purchases because these guys can just do this with utter impunity & without remorse.

This happened to GTA trilogy remaster as well IIRC.

Can't Sony just sell a regular Horizon & the remaster one to Steam & Epic guys, similar to the PS4 & PS5 guys?

(Btw IMO it's also just so FUBAR they sold Horizon DLC on PS5 & not on PS4 )

Then I don't know what's up with the whole PSN check on Steam or Epic. Why? Does Microsoft do the same thing? I'm not fully aware of these things I gotta admit.

Anyway thoughts on this IG fam.

Eh, for me, I wouldn't give a crap if they required me to sign in with a KitchenAid or McDonalds ID.

It also forces you to have a PSN account to play, meaning that some people with regions that dont support a PSN can't even upgrade
