It’s like the Helldivers 2 incident, but for a single-player game, there’s no excuse.

I sympathize with fellow PC gamers for this needles requirement (even though PSN account is my main account). I’m just surprised there’s no similar backlash for other devs requiring respective account creation (EA, BioWare, Blizzard etc. etc.). Sony did not invent this practice.

There is. Newer EA games, anything with Epic Online Services (but especially with a login), etc. They get negative reviews fairly consistently.

Some older games get overlooked, but even then adding in a third party software (not even necessarily needing an account) often lowers a game to a mixed rating on Steam for recent reviews.

Well if it blocks playing on steam deck and Linux it’s not like other devs requiring account creation.

Edit: looks like this one works on steam deck actually so disregard. Looks like it requires an internet connection to play though which is wack.

. This is just gamer rage against a console maker. They’ve all got ea accounts, Ubisoft, blizzard , discord, twitch, YouTube dozens of accounts all over the place .

But when a console maker does it’s different.
