I already have a PSN account from having Playsations in the past, but I don’t know if I really want to bother with trying to remember passwords or reset passwords.

In better detail, more plainly:

  • game by Sony

  • always online

  • has PSN integration on platforms other than Playstation stealth-required later

  • has microtransaction garbage involved

I just don’t get why anybody would choose to engage with this, especially any game that’s trying to fleece you for pocket change or that they can shut off randomly. But okay, I guess everyone’s just furious at me today.

Wow, don’t think their aggressive reaction was warranted damn

Personally I really do enjoy playing HD2. A lot of fun playing with my partner and a couple friends, the microtransactions are available for in game cash (still would prefer them not to exist but yeah), and they don’t FOMO time restrict their “battle pass” unlocks. Absolutely understand why you would choose not to play it though, the always online is a huge problem with the industry right now. I had no idea about the PSN requirement until it became mandatory, and tbh I didn’t even realize it was sony beforehand…I’m not the most observant >_>

Game is made by an Indie Studio, backed and published by Kusony.

Always online is problematic, true.

This PSN requirement recently backdoored in is the main problem.

The micro-transaction items are inconsequential and also achievable for free pretty quickly, maybe 20-30 hours playtime for each tier. If one person on a squad picks up a “currency” everyone else gets the same amount automatically upon extraction.

I love to see people getting mad at Sony, but I wish microtransactions and $70 games also received this level of anger.

And in bold on the first screen you see after booting up, asking you to link an account and saying in large letters it’s mandatory
