Sony, having tried the stick to convince PC gamers to sign up for PlayStation Network accounts to access their games on Steam (with, let us say, mixed results), has now decided that maybe it's time to give the carrot a try.

Sony Interactive Entertainment is eliminating the need for a PlayStation Network account for certain single-player games on PC, the company announced Wednesday. That includes this week’s release of Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 and the upcoming release of The Last of Us Part 2 Remastered,

"An account for PlayStation Network will become optional for these titles on PC," said PlayStation in a post including Spider-Man 2, and The Last Of Us Part II.
