    I think it’s cool that something like this is getting attention, but if every single “games journalist” is gonna write about it Sony is going to have to file a lawsuit against them

    Sony is gonna go after that creator, there’s no way they can hold to maintain it once Sony kicks into full corporate mode.

    I’m not a fan of the required accounts, but I feel like people are making such an enormous deal out of it as if they’re being asked to sign a pact with the devil and hand over a liver and kidney.

    Just don’t buy the game and move on, financial damage hurts more than screaming murder and then proceed to walk into the knife anyway.

      I think it’s because PSN isn’t available in a number of countries, so it’s an arbitrary obstacle to an otherwise fully functional game that doesn’t and shouldn’t need an account. Requiring external accounts to play a game is nothing new, but I’m happy to see people reaching their threshold for these ridiculous practices and openly complaining. If people didn’t complain and simply didn’t buy the game, how would Sony know why people aren’t buying it?

      I disagree with all the tracking companies are forcing on us. While some of it is necessary and can be very beneficial that isn’t how our data is largely being used. With that I just don’t buy Sony, Ubisoft, or other companies products any longer. I do miss out on playing some games my friends are all talking about but I do not cave just to be in the hype.

      Treat these companies like that crazy ex. You know they are bad for you and what you are signing up for if you keep coming back.

      Last bit is what they are potentially going to do with that data in the future. If they can build your online profile tailored to you they are going to milk you in ways you can’t even fathom. Creating a reason to get you to part with more money. This is not a future I believe any gamer wants when the games are made to make you pay more for the experience. Before anyone says it isn’t like that, tell it to all the AI companies scrapping pre-AI data now. We aren’t making a deal with the devil, we are helping them create the devil.
