      Yeah but also it’s a bullshit requirement. Should be removed imo.

        It’s a crossplay mandatory game, if you’re a dick, PSN wants a way to block you. No different than getting VAC banned.

        This isn’t steam servers, it’s Sony servers. What do you want?

          It doesn’t need it for crossplay.

          Then VAC ban the steam account since you sold on steam. The game worked fine for months after launch without requiring a PlayStation account and would continue to work fine otherwise.

          The most major issue is that BECAUSE they didn’t enforce a tiny part of their terms of use that is a dealbreaker for most users, those users will now be unable to refund the game due to steam’s “2 hours playtime = no refund” rule

            It was required from the start, why are buying something without knowing if it will even run first? Its hilarious the amount of people defending something that’s people’s own stupidity.

            Quite the sad reflection of reality unfortunately.

              Because if it doesn’t run, you won’t get 2 hours of playtime and steam will refund it. Stop defending corporate greed on a social media platform DESIGNED to get away from corporate greed.

                Abusing a system because you can’t be arsed to read something is an interesting take.

                It’s interesting that providing information is always defending some corporation when it doesn’t align with your narrative……

                  So let me make a game that will work for exactly 3 hours and break. It’s the same concept here. They made the game. It worked for months. Now magically it won’t.

                    How’s it the same? They told everyone you needed psn, it was a restriction when the game came out, it lead to issues, they paused it and are now implementing it again.

                    A better example would be WoW making the game free for 3 months due to a card charging issue and people getting mad when they say they need to charge again.

                    It never worked as designed from the start it was broken, so they paused a requirement that was always there, and are now reimplementing it. The other option was to delist the game, but that would make the same people mad for a different issue, it’s a lose/lose situation for everyone.

                    Anyone who couldn’t read the steam page, or the giant splash screen when you launched the game, only have themselves to blame. This is literally brought on by people’s own stupidity, but defend that stupidity, please, let everyone else know you defend stupidity.

                    But sure make a game that works for 3 hours, totally the same thing lmfao.

              Hi,

              I don’t have a PSN account. I was able to log in and play without using a PSN account. At no point was I told that a PSN account would be required to play. My very reasonable assumption. Is that the PSN account requirement was listed for crossplay, or managing socials with PS players. If the game had not worked from day one, or if I had been notified in the game that this was merely a temporary solution, and that I would be unable to play at all in the coming months, then I would have refunded without even trying.

              So no, despite what the little label said, PSN account was not required to play the game. It worked fine without the PSN account.

              In an ideal world, the requirement would be removed. Since the availability of the game has arbitrarily changed a lot in the last 2 days, Sony should at least offer full refunds and an apology to the community.

                Hi

                There was literally a splash screen you accepted when you loaded up the game the first time.

                You have no excuse, bye.

                  I don’t need to make an excuse. You’re making excuses, even more pathetic, you’re making excuses for a megacorp trying to datamine their customers by changing the conditions for use of the game that they already bought.

                  Toodles.

                    We just established this was required before launch, why are you lying?

      Nah brother. Because it’s in the TOS doesn’t make it OK, and in some cases, even legally enforceable.

      Why are you sticking up for some arbitrary shitty corporate decision and feel the need to shift the blame to people who bought, and now supposedly OWN, the game?

      I can respect it if you’re doing it for money, we all gotta eat. But if it’s for free, you’re just an ass

        You’re playing on Sonys servers, they need a way to enforce a ban when you are a dick. On steam if they ban your account, you make a new one, and family share the game bypassing the ban.

        This is Sonys servers, it’s their rules, no different than needing a Steam account to play Steam games. This isn’t something out of the ordinary….

        I’m not sticking up for or defending anything, people are just too fucking stupid to read requirements before buying things, and now you being just as stupid defending the stupid people doing this lmfao.

        It’s Sonys servers, of course it requires an account….

          So the only way to ban dicks is for them to have a PSN account? That ain’t it my brother.

          Sony servers, sure, just release a server binary, let others host it and offload all infrastructure costs! Massive savings!

          Don’t suck corporate ass man, cmon.

            Wow… how do they ban all your other accounts unless steam vac bans you for a Sony ban? Don’t you think that would be an entire other issue…? Get your steam if banned, make a new account and family share it, bypassing Sonys ban with now way of the knowing…. Yeah that’s a fucking problem.

            Sony servers, sure, just release a server binary, let others host it and offload all infrastructure costs! Massive savings!

            Uhhh… you understand the concept of this game… yeah…?

          You’d have to pay for the game again regardless of where you got banned, and can Sony not opt out of allowing family sharing?

            What? Sony can only ban a steam id, how’s Sony supposed to know you’re family sharing to another account? And you don’t need to buy a new game to family share, that’s the entire issue.

            You can bypass banning without linked accounts due to steams policies, maybe if steam would issue a vac ban for a sony ban, but people would be even more up in arms about that.

              Back when the new family sharing rules came out, I remember reading something about how developers could opt out of family sharing. That’s what I was referencing.

                Developers can opt out of family sharing. A family sharing account that gets banned, the owning account also gets banned.

        I’d be interested to know if that’s Sony or steams mistake selling them in those markets. Or isn’t that developer controlled? So maybe the devs fucked up by not restricting the sales, they said they knew about Sonys requirements.

          Absolutely fair! I was waiting on this game hoping they did better anticheat.

          It sounds like a Sony thing, instead of the devs.
