I was going to buy it.
But now I'm not. I don't have a PSN account and I don't care to make one just for this game.
The games industry is real crap now. There's so much resistance to just being able to download a game and play. It's always about downloading proprietary launchers, signing up for new accounts, wading through micro transactions, unfinished games, bad stories, and bug-ridden experiences.
It's exhausting.
A third party login requirement is usually a deal-breaker for me, but not in an exciting way. I just have a lot of games to catch up on that don't require me to go make an account.
The game said this on launch and made it clear on the steam page. Even if they weren't enforcing it, I think its silly to be upset that they've started. I'd also rather sign into a PSN account and have functioning crossplay than deal with the current state of it.
Edit: oops I thought i had read it was to help crossplay, which hasn't been working well recently. since its for nothing this is fucking stupid
Said it on launch is irrelevant.
It was not a requirement on launch, so stop forcing it on people after you got their money.
If it was a real requirement they should have geo restricted the sale to countries that are allowed to make PSN accounts. Instead they bait and switched players who have been playing past the normal refund window, and now will have an unplayable game. Also the PSN account has nothing to do with fixing crossplay. Other games have functional crossplay without it. And Sony themselves say on their own website that PSN is not required to play Sony games on PC.
I didn't realize psn wasnt available in some countries that could purchase the game. that is really messed up.
In my experience steam will still give you s refund if the game is rendered literally unplayable
People going crazy over a PSN account requirement but nobody cares a shit about the game having root access to their PCs. Funny times we live in indeed.
I have a PSN account and I definitely won't use it to sign in. Why?
The hunt for the next controversy goes on.
This is why I have a separate gaming only email. If all they're asking for is an email, sure, they can have it.
Let me introduce you to simple login. Take that same concept and apply it to literally everything you do online. Never deal with spam again.
