I wonder if this move will be a good incentive for pirating Sony's games... I guess we will find out.

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.

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