Sony's game publishing arm has done a 180-degree turn on a controversial policy of requiring PC players to sign in with PlayStation accounts for some games, according to a blog post by the company.

Sony hasn't lost hope that players will still go ahead and use a PlayStation account, though, as it's tying several benefits to signing in.

The change is a major about-face for a handful of single-player titles after Sony faced considerable backlash from many angry PC players about the PlayStation account requirement to play the games.

Is it cheaper if you own the base game? I'm seeing $64.99 CAD. For $10 and no account I'd totally replay it. I played through the first time on PS4.

Might be worth checking out some comparison videos, some prefer the base game visuals.

Yeah, it's a $10 upgrade if you own the base game; I got it on sale a long time ago for $14.

I have the base game and didn't know that, thank you random Internet person! $10 is indeed a good deal.
