There was always a banner on the Steam page that states "Requires 3rd-Party Account: PlayStation Network (Supports Linking to Steam Account)"
You don't need one for Horizon, God of War, or Spider-Man. And I'm sure you don't need it for Uncharted or Day's Gone.
Probably why it's not listed on those store pages.
Do any of those games have multiplayer, though?
Sure seems like Helldivers' multiplayer works just fine without a Sony account.
All of their support and controls are tied to the PSN account system, though.
You're right. That's why they're being made to do this.
