    It’s so random, too. Just… why?! The other way around, sure, after all the PC player base is the big fish. But eh?

      Because published by Sony.

        People really should have stopped buying anything Sony back with the original rootkit scandal.

        Which is all the info you need to avoid the game. Sony is a piece of shit

          None of the previous Sony published titles had this level of popularity.

            I think that’s called “moving the goalpost”. Also, I doubt Last of Us can’t be considered popular.

              I’m not trying to move the goal posts, just pointing out why Sony thought this was the game to start forcing this in.

            It only got this popular partly because of the lack of a PSN account to play. Developer said they had somewhere between 5 and 20 times the number of players they expected.

              Good luck explaining that to the suits.

                I’m not going to. Ultimately, Sony is a megacorp and I’m just one dude. I’ll simply voice my displeasure to people inquiring about them, and never trust a Sony product or promise in my life again. They probably won’t give 2 shits, and I’m fine with that.

          Netflix password sharing is technically against TOS and did not enforce it until recently.

          You’re technically breaking the law for going past the speed limit, but when did you last have to pay a fine for it (caveat: depends on location)?

              Just like claiming that logging into PSN as mandatory would be negated by the fact that they told people to skip it in order to play when the game launched? Since you know… their servers were having problems and disabled the check for it?

              But to that point. This “mandatory login” isn’t in either Sony ToS on the steam store for this game.

              Sure. What I’m saying is, it’s like an Oxycontin salesman convincing you it’s not addictive at all.

        Oh okay. Weird as hell still, but that at least makes some sense. TY!

          This is also a sad look into the reality of how people buy stuff. Every single one of those complaints didn’t read the requirements. How many buy the game and can’t even run the thing as well…

            The weirdest part is how the game was sold in tons of regions where you can’t even make a PSN account. That sounds refund worthy, at least, if not a class-action lawsuit in the making.

              Yeah I feel like people also forget you can still return games out of the two hour window for legit reasons. Would be a bad look for Steam to deny those refunds at least.
