Horizon Zero Dawn Complete Edition Delisted on Steam

Nope. It redirects to steam home page for me.

Damn that's insane amount, I like that in Estonia most console owners use Finland account, but there is no workaround for Steam 🤬

So true! Also restricting a large portion of your audience. This is such a shame and sad thing. What is the point? I don't understand this.

Yeah, the game is only 4 years old on PC, and I don't really see the upgrade with the remaster. Maybe there is better lighting or whatever, but I don't think it can justify a remaster. To me, it looks like they're trying to sell the same game twice.

I was just wondering that. A remaster of an already gorgeous game? And I have to pay money for it on top of the money I dished out for a game that was already a couple of years old on console when it was released on Steam?
And it's paid DRM on top of it?

Why don't they just add a subscription to it and they can remaster it every couple of years and we can pay the remaster monthly in advance...? (I probably shouldn't give them ideas)

I'm worried they'll just update them without notice and I won't be able to play already owned God of War or Days gone. It's not like they NEED to remaster them.

Even better: you can get it in France but only on the mainland. All the French overseas territories are excluded... wtf

They probably won't because the remaster will not come to GOG. God of War Ragnarok hasn't yet and is not announced due to DRM

It's way worse then Uplay and Origin - purely for country restrictions, which is insane amount

That's how much money they make on the data they get from you with a PSN account...

for an upgrade

It really isn't that. They added in softer, warmer lighting, which is subjectively usually a plus. They lightened some shadows, which is generally viewed as a negative. And they massively downgraded character and clothing textures, though as part of that they did soften faces (but more in an anime-ish, detexturing way than in a realistic way) so that may subjectively appeal, despite seemingly being an objective quality drop.

And that's just compared to the base game, not even the substantial fan mods that already noticably improve game textures, lighting, etc (and add softness to faces, same as the Remastered does, but without degrading the texture depth/quality).

Even worse is the fact that Forbidden West DOES have noticably better textures than the original game or even its modded form does, so they could have easily just copied off that to improve the original game. So it's clearly not a remaster in the usual sense of the word- if anything, it's closer to a Spielberg Demaster.

Of course, you may personally prefer the Remaster over the original or the modded version, or even the objectively better Forbidden West- that's the nature of subjectivity. But it's very much not an upgrade, even at a personal level, in the same way adding food coloring to a mixed drink isn't an upgrade. You may like it better because of that, others may like it worse, but noone views it as an upgrade, simply as something different. I mean, would you pay extra for that food coloring (note: barring for seasonal purposes or similar), as would be required for it to be objectively viewed as an upgrade? If so, really, you need to manage your money better. :P

TL;DR version: Absolutely take a close look at multiple of the many comparisons out there, as well as existing game mods, before shelling out an extra $10, and make sure it's actually in line with the "upgrade" you think it is, because most people and sites seem to agree it's not one. :S

Delisting luckily doesn't prohibit you from accessing the game if you already owned it.

Several reasons.

For one, PC offers more functionality than consoles.
For two, PS5s often become bricks due to some terrible design choices, but you still have your PSN account.
For three, maybe you never bought a PS5 but own a PS4 you don't use any longer because gaming has surpassed its capabilities.
And so on.

I have a PSN account because I had a PS3 aeons ago.
That was the last Sony console we had.
