Context for those who didn’t live through it: Sony intentionally compromised the PCs of its customers to install a mechanism by which to prevent music piracy. There’s a lot more to it but you can read about here:
Either go indie or start pirating shit. Wanted to play Fallout the other day, but Microsoft/Bethesda just broke all the mods on PC for an update that doesn’t really do anything on PC. Had to get an older pirate copy to play a game I legit purchased. At some point, I just gave up.
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.
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.
Because published by Sony.
People really should have stopped buying anything Sony back with the original rootkit scandal.

Can’t buy anything from Sony, Blizzard, Activision, Microsoft, 2K, EA, Ubisoft, Capcom, etc. etc. Pretty much just buy BG3 and nothing else.

Which is all the info you need to avoid the game. Sony is a piece of shit
None of the previous Sony titles that were released on PC required a PSN account.
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.

Good luck explaining that to the suits.
