Former Guerrilla Games producer Sam Sharma isn’t happy with the way some people are reacting to Horizon Zero Dawn’s PC port. The 2017 PlayStation 4 hit is scheduled to come to PC this summer, and while reaction from fans has been largely positive, a vocal minority of players are upset that the game will no longer be exclusive to Sony’s platform.
job listings at Guerrilla Games hinted at its existence. Though there still hasn’t been any confirmation, a Horizon Zero Dawn sequel early in the PlayStation 5’s lifetime would be a no-brainer for everyone involved.
While the response to a potential Horizon Zero Dawn sequel has been positive, there are a few PlayStation fans who aren’t happy about the original game’s move to PC. One player’s outrage even got so intense that Sam Sharma, former senior online producer for Guerrilla Games stepped in to criticize the reaction. After a Twitter posted a video of a destroyed office along with the comment “Thanks for f*cking nothing” and tagged a number of s associated with Horizon Zero Dawn, Sharma tweeted “What the hell is wrong with you people,” adding, “Your enjoyment of the game has not diminished because some more people get to play it.”
Replies to Sharma’s tweet show a split between PlayStation fans upset that Horizon Zero Dawn is no longer exclusive to that platform and others either ing the port or simply calling out the vitriol of the original poster. Some commenters even dubiously call the game’s “Only on PlayStation” marketing “a scam,” despite the fact that there was seemingly no plan to bring Horizon Zero Dawn to other platforms for the first couple of years after its release.
It’s sadly no surprise to see fan meltdowns after seemingly innocuous news about games, but the response to Horizon Zero Dawn’s port seems particularly overblown. As Sharma points out, making a game available on more platforms only means more people get to enjoy it, a handful of angry Twitter s notwithstanding.
Horizon Zero Dawn is available now on PlayStation 4 and will launch on PC in summer 2020.
