Do you smell the sweet scent of money made by amassing more data from you and selling it.
Hmmmmmmmmmm hmm!
Fucking called it LOL
I knew this was the whole point of the “remaster”.
The original is still available on GoG.
I also REALLY hate how confusing the Steam store is. If you look up the original game, it does not say its delisted, it just has the Remastered bundle inside the listing, which is a completely different product.
I checked GOG as soon as I saw this post. Hopefully they don’t take that down, too.
If Sony pulls it, they pull it. GOG wouldn’t have any options, it’s not theirs to sell, they are just a storefront.
Guess what. Athletic Female with a spoon has it too
?
Lol remastering a 2017 game, mega cash grab.
Of all the games that could benefit from a remastering in 2024, Horizon Zero Dawn would be among the last of them. That game still looks utterly gorgeous, ffs.

You forgot Nintendo.
And Microsoft for that matter.
And Epic Games
And Blizzard
And SquirrelSoft
Sad, I like them before
Like my exes
The Sony shit show continues.
Also if you bought the OG. You still can download and play it.
It’s funny that I could buy and play the original game, but not this remaster or the sequel. That’s because Sony doesn’t acknowledge that my country exists.
Even if I was a bazillionaire, I’d still be pirating Sony games out of principle
Good thing I have the GOG offline installer already downloaded.
Delisting it just means it isn’t being sold to new customers.
But it is, as a bundle.
They’re having one HZD listing, for both copies If you buy it in 6 months you can still play the original release with no PSN and no remake changes, they just package the remake with it now on the store.
If you already bought you can still download it can’t you? I have a bunch of other delisted games that still work fine
I bloody hope so, I added it to the list of games I’ve purchased on steam but never played last week
Well, I can play the delisted original aoe2 and that’s been delisted for a long time, so I’m sure you’ll be fine.
And you can actually still buy it there. Though for the now increased price.
I have it too, and I was patiently waiting for Forbidden West to show up on GOG too, guess it’s not gonna happen now, yo ho ho?
Wait. Does this mean that HZD will disappear fm my steam library?
No, it just means people can’t buy it anymore
Delisting has never meant it is removed from your library for a paid game, in my memory. Just means you can’t buy it anymore
There have been a few instances where licensed content has been retroactively removed from libraries, though. Steam doesn’t let you download older versions of a game unless the devs explicitly allow it.
Historically when games are delisted they’ll still be in your library.
I hope they just mean for sale…
This is not true in the literal sense.
You cannot redeem HZD keys, and buy it as part of a bundle with both versions. They stopped selling it standalone.
So you can get the upgrade for $10 if you already have it, or wait for a sale on the bundle.
But in either case you can still play the original release without the PSN requirement even if bought after the remaster release.
For now
This original was already a privacy nightmare, even on GOG, which is why I was hesitant to buy it. Looks like I’m definitely pirating it now if I wanna play it. But hey, at least now we know why sony insisted on “remastering” it.
this game is such fucking trash. who wants to play anyways
Nothing of value was lost.
It’s just ubisoft the game but with robo dinos.
All sony games are the same. Ghost of tduchima bored me in less than 10h.
all they had to do was not force accounts. then they could join this club:
You just had to brag about your achievements.
it was more about showcasing my mental illness and how I can’t help punishing myself by playing games like old kingdom or old bioshock, or both borderlands. I also tried to do ori but now I have work burnout and gaming burnout. I wouldn’t actually feel inclined to double zero dawn as the game really is enough of a slog just to complete the main story and I really really don’t want to suffer any more.
Yeah, <hobby> burnout suck too.
Weird flex, but okay.
Do you own only 2 skyrims? That’s rookie numbers!
I have 4 and haven’t even played it yet!
That’s actually true… I had it for 360 and forgot about it so bought it again for ps3 and promptly forgot about it, then got a copy for ps4 from a friend… Played a bit, but it’s not the same as playing on PC, which is how I played morrowind and oblivion so never got into it, then I bought the ps4 vr version because it seemed like it was the perfect type of game for VR, being first person and all… nope that was a mistake, the texture in vr version makes me seriously motion sick… can’t get past the intro scene.
I’ll probably pirate a pc version at some point… I’ve paid for it enough to not feel at all bad doing that (not that I would anyway). It’s just not great on console.
Kinda same. I do have it on switch and 360 but those are my pirated copies and you couldn’t even apply the unofficial patch so I never ended up playing them much. I bought the pc version then was later gifted SE, and ended up starting this regretful and hellish dupe game achievement quest as a joke with the friends that got me the game since it turned out I had several duplicates. -17/10 Would not recommend.
When you say dupe game achievements, do you mean you had to get all the achievements on the same game multiple times? That sounds hellish, if so… but I’m a bit curious…
I have bought a few duplicates over the years, but started using gameye to prevent duplicate purchases (I only do physical games, mostly used, so it helps a ton)
yeah the same game twice. generally a remaster or goty/special edition/etc.
It went something like: friend: hey grass I got you a game! me: oh cool thanks. *redeems game without thinking… me: wait I already have this friend: its the special edition. me: but I’ll have to get the achievements a second time. friend: you won’t do that, your only all achievement game is mw2.
then other friends got me more duplicates because they knew I would be an idiot and do it repeatedly to ‘prove a point’. In the end a miserable time. The easiest were the souls games because once you learn the controls they are all the same, apart from the different enemy placements in ds2. hardest was probably between the older version of kingdom or old bioshock 2 due to buggy achievements and the ungodly amount of time doing the exact same thing until it worked
😂 that sounds horrible.
I’m not super into frustration, and it’s gotta be a good game for me to replay it… I have -so many- options…
But that does sound like the sort of spiteful thing I’d do… like I can’t even tell you how many new kongregate accounts I made back in the day so I could play the same games over again and get all the achievements… and if you can get them once it tends to be easier the second time…
