But then you see a ton of the negative reviews say they aren’t going to make a PSN account just to play the game. But if the player count is mostly unchanged, seems like many are just fake posturing and making that PSN account anyway.
Falling fast on both sales and concurrent players chart.
Is it? 24 hour peak looks pretty much exactly the same it was 4-5 days ago on SteamDB.
Yeah of course you don't need it, you don't need an account to play Ubisoft single player games but they force it. Probably the same with most other games that require linking.
Ah, wasn’t aware. So I guess a month from now will be the real test. But still, why make further progress in the game for one more month only to drop it? It’s their purchase though, more power to them.
Looks like a bunch of new releases recently plus some sales going on? Fallout 76 dropped 9 spots as well without any ongoing controversy.Sales chart:
I feel for those people who were playing but can’t make a PSN account. We will find out how much of the player base that represents.
Yeah the game is also not new anymore
I mean, sure, you can, but...
Thing is they retroactively have made this a requirement. People have purchased the game played however many hours and now are being told “no access for you unless you have an approved account”. Cannot argue that it is a bit bullshit.
They didn't. It was there at launch.

Helldivers 2 will require you to have a PSN account on PC
Interesting. Wonder if HFW will as well or if it’s because it’s an online only game.www.neogaf.com
We knew about it at least a month before launch. It's in their trailer, it's on the Steam page, it says it when you open the game.
If it wasn’t ready they should have delayed it so they could make sure on boot up everyone knew they’d have to have an account. You can’t give access to something then retro actively make a requirement to play. You honestly can’t defend it, if you do legit you look like a shill.They didn't. It was there at launch.

It was always a requirement, it was disabled because people were having issues with it. Should not have taken this long to fix.
Got you, yeah the launch month was a bit crazy with server load but I'm sure they weren't expecting the game to become so popular. I can't blame them really.
Yeah that’s a fair point, but if you go back another week before the previous Saturday, it looks like the previous Saturday also saw a drop of around 40k. And so on and so forth if you go back further Saturdays. So it kind of just looks like a natural progression moreso than a sudden drop from controversy. Which is I think saying pretty much the same thing as your edit.
Would you rather them stop your access to the game while they fixed it? (I mean, yes that's what they should've done).
Overwatch 2 looking at those reviews:
Yes, it is unneeded. It benefits Sony with MAU numbers and possibly to help with bans.
Not sure, I think they are requiring it for all of their MP games. The upcoming release of Ghost of Tsushima has it required for the MP portion of the game.
Straight from the oven.... OW2 (214.693) vs HD2 (314.084)
Apex Legends requires an EA accountSales chart:
As stated should have delayed the game until this key feature was implemented. No excuses.

You mean until it was fixed? It had already launched before the errors were found. They'd have to stop selling the game after it had launched or what they did, disable it until it was fixed. It should not have taken this long to fix the issue.
Linking accounts is annoying. People can review how they want but I think the backlash is going a bit overboard (except for the people who can't create PSN accounts in their country, that's very valid). People refunding with 200 hours played is a joke.Helldivers 2 will require you to have a PSN account on PC

Mate they are pulling helldivers from 170 odd countries on steam. How do you defend this?. Just take the dick out of your mouth and accept that it was stupid. They should have never put it to market if they always planned it as a requirement or here’s an idea not made it mandatory as it was delayed and tried to incentivise the use of psn and just made it mandatory for future releases. People can’t be this dumb surely.
Sure, as long as they keep the same energy the next time they buy a game that requires that shit too (CoD and Ubisoft single player Assassin's Creed games).
Yeah they had a few problems at launch. It was their engine spitting out errors for the PSN account linking?
I've already said that's the actual issue, requiring PSN in countries that don't support PSN.
Maybe not made this mandatory since it was broken and enforced it for future releases. Possibly should have not sold it in countries that do not support psn. Idk couple ideas. Man I wish I could get paid the big bucks like these execs to leave my brain in the trash.
Seems like excuses my friend.
