    Of course they did. Don’t change it after release. In the future with a game like this they should make the singleplayer side part of the base game and move the multiplayer to a free “DLC” and just not offer that “DLC” where psn isn’t available if that is going to be a thing.

    OBVIOUSLY it would be better to not have that requirement at all.

    Not sure what the hell they are thinking. Also wonder how much money was refunded. Doesn’t even get into the number of buyers they are excluding.

      The personal data of each player they do coerce into signing into PSN is far more lucrative than said game sales. Sony is into gaming as much as Santa is into manufacturing toys, FFS. 🤦🏽‍♂️

        That might be an argument to not offer the games on Steam in countries where PSN is available, but I don’t know why they’d do the opposite. Those people aren’t gonna get the game for the PSN.

          The “argument” is to set precedent for denying refunds when they attempt to force users to sign into PSN before playing. Before, the simple fact that this was not made clear at point of purchase is a breach of contract on the part of the seller, and grounds for immediate refund of the improperly described terms of use. 😶

      1. Force PSN account to play on pc.
      2. Require ps+ on pc.
      3. Profit (or hopefully get told to get fucked by gamers)
