Reminds me of the time Sony threw shade at Microsoft when that gen's Xbox was going to lock games to the console with Sony saying that you'll be free to share your games with others. Microsoft should take the opportunity and make a similar statement right now; they'll rarely have the opportunity.

I don’t think they want to touch this hornets nest - Microsoft already forces people to create Microsoft accounts for lots of things. This is part of why the sudden outrage for Sony doing so is a bit baffling. Why this and why now? We live in a world filled with companies making us create accounts for all and sundry.
Its because we were able to form a community and solidarity with other players for months before the change happened. If it was that way at launch there wouldn't have been this outrage. But even players with psn accts were upset and refunding cause they wouldnt be able to play with freinds they made in the game that were in banned countries.
Along with the devs pushing for better changes. It was basically entire playerbase + devs unified against a decision by sony.
“Community and solidarity”, “unified against a decision” - these words in this context give me nothing but despair. If only such energy were devoted to something that mattered more than this.
such energy
All everyone did was make angry posts online and ask for refunds on Steam. Neither of those works for moving the needle on things that actually matter
Yes, all this drama over pointless twaddle.
But my treats
because they changed the deal. it wasn't required a month ago so it's really fucking obvious that there's no good reason to require it now.
plenty of people don't want to make extra accounts for bullshit and never use the shitty epic store or the shitty windows store, and stay on the shitty steam.
MS probably going to go full software only anyways, they fumbled this generation pretty hard.
Well it's a shame they chose the financially responsible choice instead of doubling down and making videogame history with the most meteoric rise and fall of a popular vidiyagaem
I'm trying to get people to link PSN's country blacklist to US foreign policy and it seems like a 3rd rail CHUDs and LIBs just can't cross.
NOOO JAPAN IS BASED IT'S NOT AN OLIGARCHY! SONY IS JAPANESE IT CAN'T BE SLAVE TO US FORIEGN POLICY!
Yet they had all thes eprotests against the direction of the military and US military presense ramping up with AUKUS. Yet WIKILEAKS exposed SONY corrupting our politics for internet copywrite trade laws ect. Ect.
Surly they have zero motive to collectively punish coincidentally countries the US doesn't like.
Too little, too late. Fuck Sony.
Too late Sony. I don't have a PlayStation...or a computer....but I will NEVER play this game, I mean if I get one someday. NEVER
I thought about it after the reversal, but then I remembered its a multiplayer only game and the friend that would play with me is barely available these days. So, no.
