Why? Nothing has changed yet.

They still thought it was a good idea and AH didn't care enough to not sign a contract with Sony.
Wait, is it possible to publish a PlayStation game without going through Sony? They own that particular platform, and I have no info on if they allow third party publishers or not.
Yes it is possible, Rockstar publish their own games and if you need a non-major-studio example then Hollow Knight is published by Team Cherry.
They still need to go through Sony to get it onto the PS5. And Sony's forced weird things before. It's why there was an exclusive character for each console during Soul Calibur 2 days, Sony forced exclusive content in a game they didn't publish in order to have that game on their console. There are plenty of other examples from that time, but I didn't own a Sony system back then, so I can't remember any off the top of my head.
Sony has final say on anything that goes into their console's library, but they mostly mess with directly published games these days.
