How can this surprise people… i removed it from my wishlist last time it was on sale, not because i dont want it, but because Sony is behind it.
just fucking pirate it.
I will absolutely be playing this game.
I will not be purchasing it, however.
One thing that immensely frustrates me about this is we don’t get this reaction from Ubisoft where an account is required to play pretty much all their games. Nor Activision with Call of Duty.
It’s not great that Sony is doing this, but at the same time the horse has already left the barn and people are just jumping on the rage bandwagon.
I’m not saying don’t be mad at Sony, but can we get this outrage at the other companies too?
This is a single player game that wants me to log in. I won’t buy something like that, irrespective of what company it’s from.
Not only do you need an account with those other publishers, but you often need an entirely separate launcher.
This Sony thing is simply creating an account.
This is all just console wars bullshit. It’s stupid when it was Nintendo vs. Sega. It’s stupid when it’s Sony vs. Microsoft. And it’s stupid when it’s PC vs Console.
Grow the fuck up, you emotionally-stunted fucking manchildren.
It’s not because “it could be worse” that it shouldn’t be better. There’s no good reason to force players to sign into a dedicated account to play a singleplayer game. It’s not because other publishers are worse that this isn’t a gaming sin. Pointing the finger to less green pastures only gives the current one a chance to match the landscape.
Ok, cool.
Let’s revisit this when Rockstar gets universal adoration for GTA6, which will absolutely require a Rockstar account & launcher.
There is no good reason, even with plenty of advance warning, to require a third party account for a single player game.
