PSN Requirement for PlayStation Games on PC Still a Point of Contention
It has been almost a year since Sony implemented the mandatory requirement for PSN accounts when playing PlayStation games on PC, yet many players are still frustrated by this change. The announcement of a Steam port for a PlayStation game often leads to surprise and disappointment among players who were hoping for a reversal of this policy, especially with The Last of Us Part II.
PlayStation PC games no longer available in countries without PSN
Initially, there was a backlash against the PSN requirement as many countries do not support PSN, making it difficult for players to link accounts from different regions. Sony’s decision to limit access to its games to only countries where PSN accounts can be created has left many players unable to purchase PlayStation games on PC. Despite this, the outcry from players seems to fall on deaf ears, as the restriction remains in place.
The ongoing complaints primarily come from those who are able to create PSN accounts, highlighting the frustration of PC players who are now excluded from accessing PlayStation games. Surprisingly, the implementation of the PSN requirement has not significantly impacted sales, as demonstrated by the success of games like Ghost of Tsushima.
