Amazon FR lists Horizon Zero Dawn for PC, published by Sony

No, I was talking about the service on PS4. Completely forgot it was even on PC to be honest.
Battle.net was just for WoW and Diablo at the beginning. And Steam was just for HL.
In general, users don't really care. Even if just 1 game that they want to play - they will download launcher. Plus Sony has one already - PS Now. Like @johancruijff said, they could just add another tab and here it is - problem solved.
No thanks. PS Now has no option for payment options other than cards/paypal, which people living outside of supported regions can't use. PS Now itself is only available in 20 countries.
First, I'm talking about PS Now on PC. Second, are you sure about that? Because I've tried PS Now on console and it always asks for a backup payment option which has to be either a card or paypal.
I'm also going to cite this as evidence of there not being a Sony launcher/storefront. We probably would have seen some large updates made on Sony's existing client if they were going to make it a PC gaming storefront, especially in availability.
Steam actually started as a way to let users more easily patch Counter-Strike back when patch hunting was still a thing that could fracture the player base in multiplayer games. It wasn't until around 2 years after they realized that vision that HL2 came out. Steam had a decent reason to come into existence beyond just downloading a game.
Again, just use web store, you don't need console.
I just use prepaid cards, it never asked me for debit/credit card info during payment process.
If Microsoft can do it, so can Sony. I still would prefer The Last of US on PC. Any chance that might happen?
I also hope that this isn't some exclusivity deal with Epic. Did Sony have anything to do with that with Quantic Dreams games on PC?

I guess I should have added the caveat that if they want it to be well received!
I'm sure it's the cut, and nothing to do with the multi-million lump sums up front, that sways developers and publishers to EGS.
As it says, you need a card or paypal on your account. Maybe the US store enforces this while the UK store doesn't?Again, just use web store, you don't need console.

No it doesn't. People are damn tires of different launchers on PC. They should just go with Epic if they can't stand 30% to Valve.
Well, Microsoft and their own Windows Store aren't much better. I can't use my payment options on the US Windows store either (If I change the region to my own country, all the games disappear), yet they have no problem accepting payments for services like MS Office on their website. I could at least use XBOX cards on the XBOX app to pay for Game Pass (provided I removed any and all cards I had tied to my account previously. Very strange...) Really, the only other PC launcher/storefront I just cannot use due to not being able to give them money, is the Rockstar thing.
Found some Amazon UK links relating to Horizon Zero Dawn. Seems Google is picking up the PC keyword as well, but nothing in the cache though.

I won't use Epic, but I would use a Sony launcher for sure.
PSNow is a joke and isn't support in many countries. No thanks
I'm in the believer camp as far as HZD coming to PC, but has an early/leaked store listing like this ever proven true in the end? I can remember many that were just errors. Honest question, looking for examples.
I don't blame people for not wanting to buy their games from Epic, but I also dislike having my games on 10 different launchers.
I waited this long to play Horizon Zero Dawn and Bloodborne on PC. Playing HZD won't give me the urge to pay $500 to $600 for a console. But that's just me. I have nothing against them and actually love when new consoles are released since they dictate the baseline for graphical improvements.
I also feel like most people who held out for years from buying consoles aren't going to buy the next one because of platform exclusives. I think Sony has begun testing the waters for something bigger than just trying to entice a small subset of consumers into buying a piece of hardware.

Pretty confident in saying there would be more outrage if they went Epic exclusive instead of building their own launcher. Its Sony first party games, the average PC user will happily download a PS Launcher to play the likes of HZD, God of War, Uncharted etc on a PC (assuming they will come eventually)
Why settle for 88% when you can get 100%? Sony are big enough to warrant their own launcher if they plan on joining the pc ecosystem long-term. How you feel about another launcher has nothing to do with whether it makes sense of not.
Why do people keep saying this? Why do EA, Microsoft, CDPR, Bethesda and Rockstar settle for 70% when they can have 100%? Hell, EA even came back after leaving Steam years ago, and Microsoft announced that every upcoming first party game will be a part of Steam. They all have their own launchers. You know 100% of 50,000 copies is still less than 70% of 500,000 copies?
This is coming to Epic isn't it? It aligns with Epic's excitement over their announcements at GDC.
Oh sure I remember that. Wasn't that so remarkable because of how rarely something like that happens?
I guess I was thinking more along the lines of international amazon listings which rarely amount to anything as far as I can remember.
Really? Because that would be profoundly stupid.
Most consumers on PC are on Steam, not Epic.
12% of nothing is still nothing
You can count me out of that and i'm sure majority of PC gamers are like this. This is just another game among others. No game is that special.
yup.
Not buying a console and investing in an expensive TV for just a handful of titles.
If Sony wants to bring games to PC, I'll give them money for those games.
Otherwise, there's plenty of other devs I could be supporting.
Either they are console warriors/players or just have no knowledge of the PC market
Yeah, but Epic is probably paying them for exclusivity.
Still, if you want to grow your fanbase, that's not the way to do it.
Sony doesn't really need the money do they? They want to gain mindshare on PC.
Then they should release the game where most gamers are.
