Sony’s controversial PlayStation Network requirement for its PC games is once again in the spotlight after the company delisted the original Horizon Zero Dawn on Steam and the Epic Games Store and added the PSN requirement to the upcoming single-player remaster.
I knew this was the whole point of the “remaster”.
The original is still available on GoG.
I also REALLY hate how confusing the Steam store is. If you look up the original game, it does not say its delisted, it just has the Remastered bundle inside the listing, which is a completely different product.
According to the other thread, the game asks for limited or full data collection anyway, so I was asking; maybe it’s just for performance analisys or smthg, but nowadays you can’t trust anyone.
Fucking called it LOL

I checked GOG as soon as I saw this post. Hopefully they don’t take that down, too.
So basically if I get it on GOG and block it from accessing the net, I’m good?
You don’t need to block anything. GoG just gives you the raw files with no DRM and even let’s you download and install earlier versions.
