I signed into an old PSN account when I first downloaded the game near launch. It is in game. No launcher. I signed in once and forgot about it until right now. Not really a big deal. If your worried about security make some bogus email up and make an account that way. But other than signing in one time it hasn't been a deal. 🤷‍♂️

Yeah, I used my old PS3 account. I didn't even think twice about it. I'm not sure why people are freaking out about it?

I play with a couple of friends in the Baltics. I have PSN. There is no PSN in the Baltics. So I guess I can't play with the friends I solely bought this game for.

Just because it doesn't affect you doesn't mean it's silly to complain about this.

Can they not create a Playstation account regardless of PSN service availability?

[-] sigmaklimgrindset@sopuli.xyz 15 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

No because it is not available in their country, and making an account with a region different from your Steam account would have inherent EULA risks.

Hopefully Sony will see this as the biggest problem and do something about it. I don't think these people should have been able to spend money on this for it to be taken away, but that's a storefront issue as well. Steam and Sony will have to make some decisions about this, cause it wasn't thought out and implemented very well. They should've had some stronger safeguards.

They thought about it twice
