Lol when will John Sony learn? How many days in the office do you think they needed to come up with that harebrained scheme?
It's simple.
If the money gained by selling user data is greater than sales lost to piracy because of the required account, it's a win for the company. They probably figure those countries that can't create a PSN account are lost sales anyway, so screw em, right?
Bastards
It's blatant aggression against ones' own customers like this that really makes me want to take a shit.
Right on Jim Ryan's desk
I think a lot of people here on social media need a reality check about who is actually participating in the market.
Most people simply do not care about this stuff, they don't need to learn, because the outcry of an infinitely small minority doesn't mean anything to them.
Funny how the "small minority" meant enough to them to reverse requiring PSN for Helldivers 2
They pulled the game from all the markets that don't have it, so the concern brought up by the article still stands.
Their games on PC still seem to be selling pretty well.
