A PlayStation Account Is Required for the Upcoming PC Version of Horizon Zero Dawn Remastered

[Peter_Brosdahl]

Horizon Zero Dawn Remastered was announced a couple of days ago and while a $9.99 fee for PC owners of the complete edition might not annoy many there's another catch sure to get a rise among many others. Within the fine print, Sony has indicated that the upcoming remaster will require a PlayStation account.

I already have all the accounts I want.

I will never sign up for any account to play any game.

If I can't play it as is using my Steam or GoG accounts, I'll just pass.

If it is an important enough title to me I'll just use the "community edition" in protest.

D4mn straight.

And no more double-account bullsh1t. I already had to sign into Steam (or GOG if using Galaxy) to access the game, so why do I then have to sign into another account?!

At least Microsoft makes signing into a Microsoft/Xbox account optional for their games on Steam.

I'd be more open to a mandatory PSN account if there were some benefits to it; Say, cloud-saving between PS5 and PC.

You know what man, I think I would too. Because it's REALLY f*cking annoying that I played a bunch of Sony games on PS4 not having any idea that they would be showing up on PC, and now they are on PC and I want to be able to use my save files with those PC versions, but I can't.

And yeah, Microsoft has cross-save support, but that's only if you buy their games through the Microsoft Store, which means dealing with bullsh1t UWP versions, which I can't stand. I get Microsoft games on Steam, so there's no cross-save support to help me there. But I also don't need it, cuz I don't have any save files stuck on Microsoft consoles that I want to use on PC.
