Its not simply because it's something "Easy". Its because people are sick and tired of not owning what we buy. I'm not sure why you would want to defend someone who would happily take everything they could away from you, and actively do via your rights and digital privacy.
"Oh No. The game publisher did the thing that was always a listed requirement for the game"
Sony specifically says on their own site that it’s not required.
It specifically says on the steam purchase page it is required. It specifically says on Sony's website that ps plus is required for ps5, and if you click on pc it just provides a link to steam. Nowhere do I see it even mentions needing or not needing a psn account on sony's website.
Directly from Sony. It may be required for certain modes or features. Not for the entire game to function. Even the EULA that you agree to for the game says nothing about requiring a PSN account.
I still don’t know why you’re so determined to back Sony on their bullshit that is anti-consumer, and is actively harming the gaming community.
Lol. So it doesn't say you don't need a psn account.
They paid to publish the game, bro. They said you have to have a psn ID from the get go. Anyone getting pissed about it is just what? Mad at themselves for ignoring the big bronze colored warning on the store page? It wasn't hidden.
Is the entire game a mode or feature? If it’s not then you can fuck off with that argument that it doesn’t say you don’t need it. If you’re a Sony PR person you’re bad at it. And if you’re not, then you have a weird obsession with siding with shitty corporate behavior.
