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.
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.
Sony specifically says on their own site that it’s not required.
Stream is available almost everywhere outside of US sanctioned countries.
If it was a real requirement they should have geo restricted the sale to countries that are allowed to make PSN accounts. Instead they bait and switched players who have been playing past the normal refund window, and now will have an unplayable game. Also the PSN account has nothing to do with fixing crossplay. Other games have functional crossplay without it. And Sony themselves say on their own website that PSN is not required to play Sony games on PC.
There Is propaganda everywhere. The biggest difference is the great firewall. China took institutional steps to create a controllable internet. They have a level of control over the content that no western government has. Though the US has taken a dangerous step in the direction of direct control with their ban on TikTok. If they cared about data collection and foreign interference they would create laws that generally protect personal data, and aimed at combating mis/disinformation.
I know this is just a meme, but no one would say Chris Kyle is the best US sniper. He was a sniper, but having a movie made about you doesn’t make you the best.
The founder of Home Depot was definitely involved in some garbage. If the Lowe’s CEO was, I missed it.
Would be a shame if GTA 6 got deleted…
If it makes you feel any better, one of Arrowhead’s community managers specifically said to take the anger to steam. It makes it very public that people are unhappy, and it’s more likely to get Sony to change the policy. So the devs are aware of why this is happening, and it appears that to an extent at least, support the negative reviews
