It's because people concern trolled (and organized a mass-refund campaign) over it instead of just making an account with whatever region you want and linking it to a (then-open) Steam account.If a PSN account is required then the game cant be activated in countries that dont have PSN.
ah yes, good old victim blaming, never gets old.
My steam region has PSN account support, so i can still see and buy Sony games on Steam.
I'm sure there are some people who are effected by this, and sucks for them if they're interested in buying playstation games on pc. This is what I think, most of the fake outrage for this comes from platform wars. You see over years I've been following the games industry I've noticed that a great lot of pc players have a large dislike for playstation, a dislike they don't share for Microsoft, in fact a lot of them on this forum I notice seem to war in favour of Xbox. It always amuses me when I see it. So that is why I believe they don't have issues with other publisher's requiring sign ups, it all comes down to a strong phobia of playstation.EA requiring a login on Steam Games - Fine.
Ubisoft requiring a login - Fine.
Microsoft now requiring an account for their first party games - fine.
Sony requiring a login...
The funny thing is that the PSN login is about as unintrusive a login as I have seen.
Exactly
All of that has nothing to do with spending $400 to play games you want instead of port begging like many do.
You need to login period.
So that Steam knows which user is playing whether online or offline.
Same reason you login to your profile on your console whether online or offline.
You didnt think that one through did you?
Are you okay mate?
PC gamers almost never complain about wokeism because if they dont like thing, they just mod it.
Think The Last of Us would be better as an FPS?
Go for it.
Miss the Julia Voth Face?
Why not:
Like them in the heavyweight division?
We dont judge:
So if theres anything "woke" in a game the chances of PC gamers complaining about it, is slim cuz theyll just sort it out.
Though complaining about wokeism in the first place is the biggest snowflake move.
If they stay with this experiment... you know it's coming.
Woke is woke.
And what's the big deal? People can't ask for a game without a stupid log in? What's the problem if Sony can recoup some cost by porting a game to PC? Why do I feel you are just butthurt that this is happening?
This is why I'm telling you there is a lot more to do with a PC. We don't only game, and many PC players don't see the need to spend 400 bucks to play a bunch of games in a very closed system (a thing PC players don't like at all)
You are the one who doesn't game on PC (apparently) talking about things you don't use. You are here saying how awful it is to log in into Steam while you don't see the big limitations of a closed ecosystem like a console.
Just like on your PS5
No you can't expect to play a digital game without a log in.
You can play God of War 2018 for eternity without a login (after you buy it once) since its on GoG.
Youre right that Sony can set up whatever conditions they want for selling their own games, but come on, even Sony disagrees with this since theyre putting Ragnarok on PC.
Gog is a incredible service but not the norm.
Yeah? Never said otherwise.
I'm explaining to you why we prefer to game on PC. Since for you we should just buy a PS5
Again why do you care? I (and many other person) don't see the use of a PS5, that is it.
That's why I said apparently. Again reading comprehension problem. Btw, do you game on PC?
I never asked you why you game on PC nor is it relevant to this discussion m8.
People need to get over it. I know some super 3rd world countries don't have access to it. But it means it's not financially feasible to.Womp womp
Nahhhh it's more like people are finding reasons to be mad at Sony.
I disagree. It's to explain that there is a lot of differences between a console and a PC, and this is why a lot of people won't switch no matter what and/or don't see the point in spending $400.. There is a lot of other things that can be bought with this (like... games)
So you don't have an answer. I already told you why I care. Explaining over and over again serve no purpose when you don't want to understand.
But yet again you are the one confounding words. Don't make me quote this.
Nice! So you should easily understand.
Most of them (like me) just go with it and connect their already existing account. The point is to at least push back against unnecessary practice and there is absolutely nothing wrong with expressing our opinion. You can call people crybabies, kids, stupid, slow brains or anything (not saying you did, just for the example), at the end of the day it takes 1 minute to write a message on a forum to say "this is shit I don't like this account things" or to modify a review.
Let the 'PC Master race' keep crying. The same bunch who don't want 'snowflakes and wokeism' in their games, are also being incredibly woke & pathetic about an account registration.
1+2. And I disagree that it's relevant.
Japan isn't officially supported for PSN? Where is this list from? I'm pretty sure the PSN is available in JapanIf its actually required then that means alot of regions where PSN isnt officially supported wont be able to purchase the game......I dont think thats fake outrage.

Sure a lot of people are being a bit silly about the PSN thing, it's just an account not a launcher or seperate cliënt you need to install, but some have valid issues, such as those that cannot purchase the game in certain regions.
It's not because you keep saying it that it's true.
Any proof of that? Any number? Because thousands of people voiced their opinion for HDII for example. Not a "small amount", rather you like it or not.
"I don't want to answer" well of course because you know you are wrong and don't have anything relevant to say
Poor little thing. Maybe it's because you are responding from you high horse thinking you know everything while CLEARLY you are wrong.
Dude re-read your messages. You are being quoted because of how you express yourself and how wrong you are. That's it, stop playing the victim.
Imagine batting for a multi-billion dollar corporation and not being ashamed of it.
Gaming is a weird thing.
It’s not that weird, people want exclusives because they want the platform they’ve invested money on for decades to survive so they don’t lose access to the purchased content. Without exclusives the platform needs to be better than everything else or have to be cheaper or has to have some other differentiating benefit for it to survive.
This kind of fragmentation is how you increase pirating rates though. Also, subbing only one month and cancelling the sub afterwards doesn't grant them a very sustainable model.
Piracy is a different beast and sustainability too. I just know that I never sign up to a new service or buy new hardware if I don’t have to unless I get some benefits from it. Would feel like a complete waste of money.
Tbf even a blind guy with 2 forks inside his orbital cavities would see that.
