Sony delisted the game in 3 more countries, five days after they announced that they were walking back the requirement. This makes it clear that the statement of walking that back was nothing more that a deceptive attempt to save face and get people to purchase the new warbond, and that Sony does not “hear the community” or respect it. Until the game is delisted in all the countries it was previously available in, my review is staying negative. Old review below for posterity.

Requiring a PSN account to continue playing when it was implied that that requirement was waived entirely is a mess and a disaster.
I have obfuscated any and all private info on my old PSN account and will not be spending any more money on microtransactions or copies of the game for friends until the requirement is walked back. I [do not anymore] recommend everybody either do the same, or submit a refund request.
