For a live service game like Helldivers you could at least logically justify the account requirement but for an offline game like GoW it will just piss people.

Uhhhh what? No. The fact that it does not exist and has not existed for months shows that's it's not justifiable.

But you could come up with a believable reason for multiplayer. (Ex. Maybe the devs decided their servers wouldn't scale and had to move to Sony's, but those require users to have a Sony account.)

For single player, there's not even a hypothetical excuse. They just want you to be inconvenienced for their own gain.

My guy, the PSN requirement was suspended because it was causing server issues. You can use it RIGHT NOW without PSN...

There is no believable reason, that's why users were upset.

Not justifiable but one can weave some twisted logic to explain it. With single player games there is even less explanation.
