    Sony has published other games that made it to pc, like horizon zero dawn, that don't require a Sony account so that isn't really the reason

    They've published single-player games. For single-player games, the only metric that matters is sales. If the game sold well, they can make a sequel, and if it sold poorly, they won't make another. For live-service games, the metric that matters is Monthly Active Users, because the more users you have the more likely some of them will buy something in your live-service cash shop.

    Hey has anyone checked on Destiny recently? They're also published by Sony, do they require a PSN account? or do they get away with it because Destiny 2 was originally more of a partnership?
