    I don’t even work for Sony and “you need to create a third party account to play our game” isn’t something I expected to generate 300k negative reviews in 3 days. There are a lot of games that come with third party accounts and launchers. With all the shit companies like EA, Epic, and Ubisoft force onto their players, I’m genuinely surprised this caused any pushback.

      We think the main reason was the amount of countries you couldn’t make a PSN account in, locking out a lot of people from playing a game they bought. So honestly, with that in mind, it’s probably justified.

        Yeah also at one point they claimed this was the plan from day one, but if that was the case why would it have been for sale in countries with no PSN support.
