PLAYSTATION appears to be sticking to its guns when it comes to a decision that is widely hated by PC players.
As more and more PlayStation exclusives move over to PC, those with high-end gaming computers love playing these new games.

If you have a high-end computer that you can play the latest games on, it feels like a waste of money to go out and buy a PS5 for the few exclusives it has.
That’s why a lot of PC gamers are happy to wait a year or more until the PlayStation exclusives launch on PC.
However, the recent decision by PlayStation has led many PC users to skip out on its games even once they land on their platform.
It started earlier this year when the developer for Helldivers 2 announced that the PC version of the game would require a PSN account.
The PSN requirement was quickly reversed but this wasn’t the last attempt PlayStation would try to force people to sign up for PSN.
While Ghost of Tsushima was already open for pre-orders, PlayStation still decided to add the PSN requirement.
PSN isn’t available in hundreds of countries meaning that thousands of people had to be refunded for the game.
Those who pre-ordered Ghost of Tsushima on PC received a full refund if they didn’t want to or couldn’t sign up for PSN.
God of War Ragnarȍk and the remake of Until Dawn both came to PC recently, and they also required a PSN account despite not being on a PlayStation console.
With every PC release that requires a PSN sign-up to play, more and more people show their disappointment on social media.
Aside from the people who live in the 170 regions where PSN does not exist, many more are concerned about giving out their information.
Despite the constant complaints from fans PlayStation is refusing to drop the requirement for PC players.
The next major PlayStation exclusive that is coming to PC is the remaster of Horizon Zero Dawn.
People were skeptical of the remaster as the game isn’t that old, but it hopes to bring the graphics of Zero Dawn up to the standard of the sequel Forbidden West.
Players soon noticed that the original Horizon Zero Dawn disappeared from an online store front and there were price rises on other platforms.
With the announcement that it will also require PSN, people are hesitant to take the plunge.
