Wow, it took them this long to realize that was a major bottleneck for their gaming.

They'll bring it back.

depends on how its being implemented tbh, steam for example has protections against that stuff. But if they keep the "third party account may be required" style of warning on the page, like they had with helldivers 2, steam will likely not do anything until Sony ok'd the refunds.

Defo avoid buying period unless that warning is gone.
