Sony has delisted the incoming Ghost Of Tsushima: Director’s Minimize port on PC in 180 nations on Steam.
Notably, it’s the identical 180 nations that may now not entry Helldivers 2, following the fiasco round Sony making an attempt to power PC gamers to make a PSN account.
Whereas Sucker Punch has already clarified that gamers gained’t must hyperlink a PlayStation Community account to have the ability to play the primary marketing campaign in Ghost Of Tsushima, they are going to be required to hyperlink their accounts in the event that they need to play the net multiplayer Ghost Of Tsushima: Legends mode.
Ghost Of Tsushima isn’t out but on PC, so gamers can’t precisely be review-bombing the sport as they did with Helldivers 2, and it additionally implies that processing a refund for anybody who may’ve pre-ordered Ghost Of Tsushima gained’t be a difficulty.
It’s clear that Sony is making an attempt to keep away from being within the scenario it was in with Helldivers 2, the place it had been promoting the sport in areas that by Sony’s personal guidelines round account linking, it shouldn’t have been offered within the first place.
Nonetheless, delisting their video games from almost 200 nations isn’t precisely an entire answer. Helldivers 2 continues to be delisted from these similar 180 nations, even with the account linking remaining optionally available.
What’s most mind-boggling about that is the silence from Sony. If account linking may be made an possibility, and the ire proven from Helldivers 2 gamers was sufficient to get Sony to reverse its preliminary resolution, why not hold it optionally available for all PlayStation PC revealed video games?
It’s unclear how Sony will go about rectifying this, since they don’t appear to be making selections which are logical to any informal onlooker. Not less than this actually does present that when Sony mentioned it was “nonetheless studying” about what it’s to publish and promote video games on PC marketplaces to PC gamers, it was telling the reality.
