I’m honestly asking why people are so furious about the psn account. Is it because you don’t want to give your data to Sony?
I’d clearly understand with something like facebook or google, but I don’t think giving my data to Sony is the end of the world.
I’m not a pc gamer and I wouldn’t want to have every company pushing for their own account, but I don’t see why Sony is getting so criticized when (I think) Ubisoft or Electronic Arts have been doing this for years on PC.
Maybe with helldivers you can argue the cross play angle, but why require a PSN account for a single player game? Sony's also doing this with the new Until Dawn version which also is coming to steam.
This is what baffles me as well. Online game I can understand.... but offline single player.....???
Also, why in the 21st century does Sony not expand PSN world wide, and why is it only available in a handful of countries
Yeah PSN not being available everywhere is weird and not good for their sales then.
