Post-Helldivers, every Sony game will now explicitly announce the Playstation account requirement.

I just hope they don't update their previous titles to require a PSN account.

I don't think they will because of the backlash with helldivers

Not gonna a lie, I refuse to make even one more third party account. I have Steam, I buy my games through Steam. They should work with the account I bought it with.

If a defederated game/app store comes out that any company can put games on, I might make an account for that.

Walled gardens run by Corporate entities, though? I'll pass.

Why would steam allow games on their store that don't work without another third party account or store?

Anti Commercial-AI license
