They’re really digging in on this shit, huh? Here’s hoping enough people pass on their games because of it that Sony regrets the decision.
I remember being “sorry” for doing so to Helldivers 2 🤣
Nah, they said sorry, they didn’t do anything different. They still restricted the purchase regions of the game to those that can get PSN. I expect a return of the PSN requirement for Helldivers 2 eventually.
What do they gain from this shitty policy?
Angry players? 180 less countries buying their games? Padded PSN account numbers?
Enshititifaction.
Wait a minute.
WHY TF IS HORIZON ZERO DAWN GETTING AN REMASTER!?!?!
WHAT IS THE POINT? What stupid idiot thought this was a good idea???
And that bloody price tag! €50 for accessibility features and slightly better performance? Why… Why is this a successful way to make money? … I… I’m sad now.
Because if they remaster it, they can also remaster the price.
Which is probably why they’ve pulled all the old versions.I think they are actually asking, “if this is such an obviously stupid move, and there aren’t enough stupid people to buy the game, why would Sony even bother working on this?”.
Either the costs were incredibly low, or they figure they will profit off the data they collect enough to make up for it, in my opinion.
I’d pay $10 to forget facial animations of the original one.
I’ve got a bat. It may take a few tries, and you might forget some other things, but you get what you pay for.
Edit: Looks like the game is still on GOG without PSN requirment.
Sadly, based on reviews for the game on GOG, while the game is technically DRM-free (in that it doesn’t Emily any of the traditional DRM like Denuvo), it still requests either full or limited data collection.
It requests it but doesn’t require it. True, you need to select “limited” or “full” but you could just disable the network or firewall it. I run it in a container without networking on linux mint and it works perfectly.
Kinda wanted to pick the game up at some point. Weird, I seem to have suddenly lost all interest. Huh.

Cool. I force a no-psn-requirement for games that I buy.
There is no psn requirement for this game (on the gog version at least)
Yo fucking ho my boys
Keep re-releasing it so I can not buy it again and again.
Now I don’t feel so bad about buying it a few weeks ago and barely playing.
Tons of non-Sony games to play on PC. If I never play a new Sony game ever again it truly won’t be a loss.
Sony, Microsoft, Ubisoft, ea, Activision/Blizzard, rockstar, Nintendo and Square Enix will never see a dime from me until they change face.
I will never pay for anything they produce. it’s all trash.
Nintendo and Rockstar don’t make trash. Neither does Sony for that matter. People just don’t like how they’re treating their customers. HZD is amazing and I’d gladly buy it again on PC, but I’m not interested in rewarding this data gathering behavior.
For real, up until Horizon, I had never played a Sony game at all. What a shame. For them.
