    There is no good reason, even with plenty of advance warning, to require a third party account for a single player game.

      Yup. I get why some people might not care, but I don’t understand the people trying to defend this.

      Would these people defend drinking a Verification Can™ as well? After all, it only takes a few seconds.

    I will absolutely be playing this game.

    I will not be purchasing it, however.

    I mean, I like to think Sony made it perfectly clear this time around. There’s really no excuse this time. People were warning other people, Sony had it on the system requirements sheet, and Steam had it listed as soon as the page went up. So if you still picked up the game and then decided to bitch about the PlayStation Network requirement because you didn’t know, that’s on you.

    Flipside, if you bought the game just to bitch about the PlayStation network requirement, knowing full well this would be a requirement, you’re way more privileged than me. When I don’t like how someone does something, I typically don’t give them money unless I don’t have a choice.

      Honestly I appreciate them buying it and expressing the disappointment in Steam reviews. It is the best way to get attention to it since people aren’t going to refrain from buying it. Boycotts don’t work so people expressing their thoughts is the best we got.
