PlayStation Network accounts will become optional for titles on PC

Seems Sony finally learned its lesson and is now making PSN accounts optional for their games.

I hope this means that we 3rd-world plebs who aren't officially supported by the PSN can finally buy all the games post Horizon Forbidden West which all required a PSN account to play.

That's good news, indeed. It remains to be seen if new titles will also make the PSN account optional.

Unless I'm reading it wrong, it still doesn't imply anywhere that those games will be unblocked for me

indeed it does not, but we won't know before release (as I'm blocked out as well, have no idea what time exactly it takes place)

Better hope so, still baffled how they didn't think about that before, really weird that they limit some PC gaming with most F-ed up region locking, which doesn't make any sense (I "understand" about console ecosystem and it's support)

Could this mean they are doubling down on removing those region locks? They made Helldivers 2 PSN account linking optional yet it's still unavailable for users that live in countries where PSN accounts are not supported. Man, Helldivers 2 really hit deep once I realized that I literally won't be able to play the game when the region locks were pushed onto the Steam store. Would love myself something fresh to play with my friends, been trying to find something to play for ages now.

It sucks for you, cause it is really an amazing game. Fun fact, I can play it because I bougjt it before all that region locking.

indeed, didn't think about that :P weird that they didn't bring it back to store, I believe people who got it before store removal could still play it, or am I wrong?

I wonder if this means Sony's games will still release on GOG or not

Rare case of finally realizing that they can't do all they want.

Nice. I'd been avoiding several Playstation published games on PC specifically for this reason. Wishlist just got a bit bigger.

Took them long enough!
I guess they needed to be pointed out repeatedly that it was probably bad business to exclude 25%-30% of the world's population from their client base?
