Well that makes TWO things I won't be getting.
Probably safe to assume every new PS title will.
Another game to not buy.
Curious how the version you download for free doesn't have this requirement...

Is anyone surprised by this? Really? At this stage, after we've seen the lenghts that Sony has went to stuff PSN account requirements on even their offline singleplayer games?
the half of us
Otger than needing to sign into an additional account, why does everyone hate this so much? Halo makes me sign into a Microsoft account, but i havent seen nearly the amount of hate for that. Is there somerhing worse about PSN accounts? Not trying to start shit, just wondering what I'm missing.
For me it's just about account fatigue. It's just yet another fucking one-off account that will eventually get hacked the next time Sony has a cyber security breach.

- It's completely unnecessary
- Sony has a long history of leaking personal information
- Sony is most certainly selling your information for profit
- Sony's servers suck ass. I literally can't even make an account. It gives me some kind of generic error.
- Sony stopped making the game available in countries where they don't allow PSN accounts. Makes you wonder what's so valuable about account linking that they would pass up sales in all of those countries.

That's because it's old. Everyone complained about it when it came out with this requirement as well. The frogs have all been boiled on that front.
Not just leaking data, outright installing rootkits.
I always play Doom Eternal offline so I don’t have to sign into some bullshit account I don’t want.
I will refuse to buy any game that is PSN or windows only.
