So it seems Sony has delisted Horizon Zero Dawn.
And checking through steamdb, Horizon Zero Dawn Remastered is region locked. So it seems that if you are from the other countries not only can you not buy the old version you are also denied to purchase the upgrade.
I am guessing the remastered requires psn account. I can't check the store page due to being from one of those countries. So it shows site error.

Nope. It redirects to steam home page for me.

Alright, I took screenshots for you, Horizon Zero Dawn page is still there for me, you can buy the remaster for 10€ with this bundle, but the remaster on its own is 49.99€ and nothing about psn on its page so I don't know. (see pics below)

I guess they are delisting it from countries that can't have psn accounts. Which is still unfortunate cause the old one doesn't need psn accounts anyway.

I can't understand this strategy, why would you decrease the number of potential customer you could have. I don't get it.

I understand it for countries that are hard to do business with(ie north korea or syria), but they arbitrarily block multiple European Union countries as well, makes absolutely no sense to do this.

Nope, it's there. At the bottom of the "About This Game" section.

¹Account for PlayStation Network required on PC.

nothing about psn on its page

Yes, there is. If you scroll down, at the very bottom of the description under PC-FEATURES the first poin they are listing is PSN account required.

Edit: Almosn33t was faster while I was pondering wether to take a screenshot or not. Decided agaist, because it would have been in German anyways.

Sony keeps being a shitty company like any other big company, no surprise here.

Oof, that is a lot of excluded countries:

And out of all of those, only Japan has its own sub:

Same goes for the full standalone Remaster:

https://steamdb.info/sub/1129524/info/

And yeah: that's probably due to PSN.

Cool that's only 10€ to upgrade, but .... why? Why would I want to spend more to upgrade an already very pretty game, while likely adding extra DRM to it, and closing out other countries? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

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.

Bad enough the PSN restriction prevents many of us from enjoying their latest PC ports, now I have to worry about the already available ones getting PSN restriction by the remastered excuse.

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.

Surely porting Bloodborne to PC or something would make more money for $ony than this shitty maneuver that nobody asked for? Beancounters work in mysterious ways.

They probably won't delist it from GOG since they cannot add the PSN version there. Though anything could be expected from Sony. -_-
