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.
Also might affect release of Sony games on GOG.
Can they make it retro active? I have a bunch of ps5 games I'd love to play on my PC
They did this with Portal 2 and I was hyped that it was the start of a new trend. Only took 15 years
That was Valve more than it was Sony.
Portal is not made by Sony
This might have gotten me to buy a PS5 - a decade ago.
Just give me a way to play Gran Turismo on PC and I'll be happy honestly.
