For those like me, who don't have a steam account (and since we're still waiting to see if Days Gone will ever land here) this won't probably have much interest.
But, for those who buy in other stores I suspect these are interesting news. At least it proves that SONY is really focused on bringing more exclusives to the PC and apparently with a minimum of quality in the conversions.
Hopefully this means they're doing more than just a recent handful and will port a lot of their library. When I heard Uncharted 4 was rumored to be the next game I was bummed because I never played 1-3 and would have little interest in just playing the finale. Hoping they do things on a bigger scale.

Sadly this also means companies like Square are about to have less well done PC ports.
Oh, I knew Housemarque made some new game for PS5, but I didn't realize Sony actually bought that small game studio? Good for them I guess (unless next Sony closes the studio and lays off everyone there).

I'd really need to play Super Stardust properly at some point. I recall trying the original Amiga game a long time ago, but it felt oddly crummy... I need to try the PC version. I understand there is also a HD remake for PS3 or PS4...

EDIT: Oh! According to Mobygames both the original Stardust, and Super Stardust, were both released for PC (for DOS, both).

Yeah I have also Nex Machina on GOG, yet to play it though.

The saddest thing about them doing 4 is it’s the weakest of the set, even lost legacy was better. As for not knowing the story, there isn’t much which carries over, just the e main characters effectively doing the same thing in each game.
Interesting...

but with Rootkit-Sony the chances of DRM-free releases are probably nil.
Tp me this likily has good news in a way for gamers on pc

Because we totally didn't get that mecha-dinosaur-hunter game or going to get that
sad-Dad-fighting-shambling-corpses game (expecting a GOG release ~August/September).

Same here as wouldn't that be about how long HZD took to get here?
Good news. Hopefully it results in a certain Samurai getting a port.

He's got a point though.

Probably why we maybe won't see it on GoG any time soon.

I really wonder what possible use they could have for collecting keystrokes, folder contents and whatnot. Anti-cheat measures have nothing to do with these silly things, so their explanation is ludicrous, especially for a single-player game (you'd have to monitor the game process and check for any alterations, not what the user is doing).

I hope so too. But a samurai that watches you in secret has no honor.

I wanted to say something but Toxictom arrived first. Ninja'd!
Hmm thats a good thing to here expecting them to consider more bout PC gamers...
Maybe I won't have to wait five years for HZD2 to come to PC and GOG.
