    I see this, and all I imagine is forced launchers and required account log ins to play your games.

      How else you do you imagine them being able to track your purchases across platforms?

        I imagine if Sony didn’t move to being launcher exclusive they’d do what Microsoft does of buying from the Microsoft store for crossbuy benefits.

        And not get that benefit of their copy working on PC and Console if they get the game from Steam or GOG. Which to me is completely fine, and what I hope they do over needing multiple launchers if you buy outside of PSN.

      For sure. Unfortunately PC gamers wille at that shit right up without a moment’s hesitation. Just look at how popular steam is.

        You do know that something like 75-99% of games on steam don’t have any drm, right? You can play most games right from the exe.
