I think soon they will require a psn account for all their upcoming games

Safe bet.

It's definitely an anti piracy measure. Which sucks complete fucking ass

Edit: it's multiplayer only

There will definitely be a way around this easily for pirates. They may believe that if will stop piracy but it's really just going to be anti consumer

I already have a Steam account, I'm not giving yet another company my details and login data just to play a game on a platform I already have an account for. Nope.

So you're gonna buy it from the PlayStation store and play it on PS5?

What’s the point of region restricting PSN accounts?

[-] cottonmon@lemmy.world 12 points 5 months ago

It's kind of weird too since they sell PS5s in regions where PSN isn't officially supported.

Except getting more user information, I don’t really see the big advantage for Sony so it’d be interesting to know why they want to require a PSN account in countries where you can’t get one.

Also I’d want to know why you can’t get one in some countries.
