Factually incorrect. I never linked up and have played with at least one person I knew was on PlayStation.
Crazy, I couldn't play with any of my PS friends until I linked. Hmmm I guess I am wrong, internet man says so 🤷♂️ It is crazy watching the hivemind turn on shit. OH NO! MY DATA MIGHT GET STOLEN! As they type their response on an android phone, or a windows computer. MY PRECIOUS DATA! I couldn't possibly be competent enough to take even the simplist of measures to seperate it if I am worried, like a ghost email and a one off password. How dare they mildly inconvenience me!. I am going to turn on the ONE game that hasn't tried to fuck me in the ass like every other game because the internet told me to be mad!
It’s just a shitty thing to do though. The game was working 100% fine without an extra account and now you can’t play without it. It’s annoying for some and, for countries without PSN, potentially the end of the game being playable.
Annoying maybe, but not on par with the $70 games with micro transactions that make the game pay to win when the games are just rehashed battle Royale games. It's the same game OVER AND OVER AND OVER. Signing in to a PSN account might be annoying, but my God it is small potatoes with everything else going on these days and it is something beyond the DEVs control. I feel like that perspective is lost. This game is a diamond in a giant pile of turds. The devs have done everything in their control to keep it clean, but some things are beyond their control.
As far as the people in countries without PSN, if they don't make it right (either by removing the requirement for them or refunding), then that is bullshit. But I don't think Arrowhead is out to screw anyone.
