PC gamers with the W for not folding to bad choices. More gamers need to do this.
It's still packaged with that awful and invasive nProtect GameGuard garbage though, so be be aware of what you're buying before you make the choice.
Or just run linux. While that comes with other potential issues... Anti-cheat isn't one of them. Either the game doesn't work (and thus safe from the terribad rootkits), or the "anti-cheat" is stuck in it's sandbox(and thus safe from the rootkit).
I think there'd have been a lot less pushback if the gamers had got something in return, like Steam/PSN cross-buy on Sony published titles.
It's not even like they could claim it being needed for cross-play, because it demonstrably works without it.
Good. I hope this collaboration will kick all 3rd party ~~launchers~~ stuff from Steam in the future.
It never required a 3rd party launcher, just a PSN account to link to a Steam account.
Still not going to buy it.
