PlayStation continues adding hated feature to its PC games

PlayStation is facing backlash from the PC gaming community due to the requirement of a PlayStation Network (PSN) account for certain titles released on PC. This includes the remaster of Horizon Zero Dawn and recent PC releases like God of War Ragnarök and the remake of Until Dawn. The controversy began with Helldivers 2, where the PSN account requirement was initially announced for the PC version before being retracted. The imposition of the PSN requirement for Ghost of Tsushima pre-orders left many players in regions without PSN in a difficult position, resulting in numerous refunds. Gamers have expressed frustration over privacy concerns and the logistical challenges posed by the PSN requirement, especially in the 170 regions lacking access. Despite the dissatisfaction, PlayStation is maintaining its stance on the PSN requirement for PC players.
