Worrying, to a degree, rumors about Sony's future on PC:

Sony has been making major moves into the PC space recently, and until now, they’ve largely avoided some of the cumbersome requirements some other big publishers have placed on the experience. PlayStation games are simply released on Steam and the Epic Games Store, with no extra accounts or sign-ups required. Well, it seems that may be changing.

There have been hints Sony may require a PlayStation Network account to play their games on PC in the future, and that may just be the beginning. Dataminers digging around the recently-released PC version of Spider-Man have discovered references to a “PlayStation PC Launcher.” The reliable folks at Video Games Chronicle have confirmed these references are in the game.

So, if the PlayStation PC Launcher ends up being the real deal, what might this mean for Sony’s PC games going forward? Probably the most likely scenario is that Sony would do what Microsoft does, offering their games through their own store and launcher, but also putting most of them on Steam and Epic as well. Then again, Sony is used to owning the platform they release their games on – maybe they’re getting tired of having to surrender a cut to Valve and Epic. We shall see.
