Sony is gonna go after that creator, there's no way they can hold to maintain it once Sony kicks into full corporate mode.
I'm not a fan of the required accounts, but I feel like people are making such an enormous deal out of it as if they're being asked to sign a pact with the devil and hand over a liver and kidney.
Just don't buy the game and move on, financial damage hurts more than screaming murder and then proceed to walk into the knife anyway.
I think it's because PSN isn't available in a number of countries, so it's an arbitrary obstacle to an otherwise fully functional game that doesn't and shouldn't need an account. Requiring external accounts to play a game is nothing new, but I'm happy to see people reaching their threshold for these ridiculous practices and openly complaining. If people didn't complain and simply didn't buy the game, how would Sony know why people aren't buying it?
Fair enough for countries that don't have PSN. But do they also not have access to the game on PlayStation consoles then?
I'm also unsure if availability is because of Sony or because of country restrictions their governments have set up.
And as usual people only downvote instead of engaging in discussion and giving answers ๐
People have already engaged. There's nothing left to say to this other than I wholeheartedly disagree and this is a bigger deal than you're making it out to be.
