It's like the Helldivers 2 incident, but for a single-player game, there's no excuse.

It means Sony won't sell the game in countries where they don't allow PSN accounts.

That isn't a problem for all the users that review the game though.

Their servers suck ass. I'm literally unable to play this game, even if I wanted to, because I get one generic server error after another when trying to make an account. This is the same reason it was originally removed from Helldivers 2.

I don't know about that since I have never connected my PSN account. The only game I own which supports it is Ghost of Tsushima and I haven't connected my account to that game.

Sony has a horrific track record of data breaches.

They're collecting and selling data about you for profit.

Its a completely arbitrary and anti-consumer requirement that has zero benefits to you as the consumer.

Fair enough but I don't think it's actively anti consumer, I place that bar higher than this.

For my own personal amusement, what else would they have to do to meet the level your personal anti-consumer bar is set at?

I was referring to their last point.

About it being completely arbitrary and anti-consumer? It 100% is.

I mean it's definitely not user-friendly

[-] lud@lemm.ee -1 points 1 month ago

That's true. It's not user-friendly or pro-consumer.
