  • People were saying that might have been Valve just covering themselves from potential lawsuits. We'll just have to see if it's reverted.

    Nope nevermind, I was hopeful it was good guy Steam but it was in fact Sony. Fuck Sony. Will never buy another Sony game.

  • Quick note... After typing this up I realized this is more a response to the OP than to you. Sorry for the rant lol.

    They knew about it and implemented it but the game blew up at launch and the stupid PSN requirement caused tons of server issues. So to allow people to play they temporarily disabled it. Now, after all this, the CEO was incredibly transparent about the whole situation and was working to get it resolved with Sony.

    To me the CEO is a breath of fresh air. He cares about his product and was open about everything going on.

    Sony put themselves in this position.

    6-7 years of development and 6 months before they drop this requirement? Which does little to nothing except inconvenience your customer... Not to mention Sonys track record with data breaches... And on top of all that the launch would have been ruined due to this requirement and possibly wouldn't have allowed the game to get as big as it is?

    Fuck that and fuck Sony.

  • Indeed an unpopular opinion but you're missing a key point that Sony, being the publisher, decides where the game is sold. They chose to sell it in countries that cannot create PSN accounts. A huge reason this blew up is because of that fact.. along with their (Sony) response to that, or at least the representatives people got responses from.

    Whether it was an accident, stupidity, malice, whatever... Doesn't matter, Sony screwed that up.

    Edit: On top of all that the PSN requirement was crippling the release of the game. If the CEO hadn't disabled the requirement to link to PSN the game may not be as successful as it is now.

    Honestly the CEO probably saved the game and increased sales, which helps Sony...

    6-7 years in development and 6 months before they drop this requirement that does little to nothing except inconvenience the customer, not to mention Sony's track record with data breaches...

    Give me a break. Greed did this. Sony's greed. Nothing else.

  • Oh, I use both, I was just poking fun. That being said, I unfortunately I don't feel comfortable trying to get my parents on Linux... or even friends.

    Most people just want things to work and won't do any sort of troubleshooting themselves. "It just works" is worth the intrusiveness that comes with Windows.
