Forced PSN account

[Lycro9654]

If you force me to make a PSN account, even for just the online Legends mode, you force me to skip your game

Same goes with Halo series. It requires Microsoft/Xbox Live account to play multiplayer.

Yes, and I don't play halo multiplayer
Although, I am much less tolerant of being forced to make accounts now than I was back in the day
If Sony had their own launcher, fine that is understandable
My issue is that a psn account was optional and now is mandatory for......reasons

For me, it's the principle

Hopefully it wont be a requirement as Sony just removed the requirement from helldivers 2

people sure love misusing words like "forced" and "scam"

is someone holding a gun to your head making you buy it?

not forced if u already have a psn account - regardless even if it does require a psn account i have one already so i have no issues playing ghosts of tsushima - u wont be missed either way . gamers are like wild filthy beasts they would rather choose violence then get with todays modern society - its a developers decision to enforce a second account if need be .

So if a company does something we don't like, we should just shut up and deal with it?

Says who? Or you can just not buy it. As they say, "vote with your wallet". Complaining about something you didn't even pay for just makes you seem like an entitled brat. But if that's you, go for it. Nobody's stopping you.

let's be honest considering how much Sony get's hacked and data is stolen you could have your very own game award shows about it. I do not blame people who do not want to give Sony data when they can't even protect there own employees because of server breaches

April 2011: Hackers Access Personal Data of 77 Million Sony PlayStation Network Users
May 2011: Personal Details on 25 Million Sony Online Entertainment Customers Stolen
June 2011: Sony Pictures Website Hacked, Exposing One Million Accounts
November 2014: Hackers Steal 100 Terabytes of Data from Sony Pictures
August 2017: Hacker Group Accesses Sony Social Media Accounts
September 2023: Sony Investigates Alleged Hack
October 2023: Sony Notifies Employees of Data Breach

"PlayStation Network is unavailable in more countries than it is available in. A total of 118 countries are unsupported. This list includes some major markets like Pakistan, Bangladesh, some East European countries, almost the entirety of Africa, and most Central American countries."

And this isn't even all of the breaches they have had this is only a few. At least on a basic level Microsoft makes ♥♥♥♥ a hell of a lot more difficult and is known for seriously protecting user data. They learned about that after Games for Windows live issues and breaches.

People have the right to complain and have the right to get refunds. Regardless if people like it or not.

And considering what happened to Helldivers 2 do not be shocked if Sony decide not to enforce PSN

Ya'll need to chill. No one is being 'forced' to do anything.

If you want to play legends mode, you must have a psn account. You are being forced to do something that is not required for the mode to function (ie helldivers 2)

The guy i quoted basically called gamers "wild filthy beasts" just because I don't want to make a psn account. That's who
And people are voting with their wallet.
We are voicing our displeasure so the devs know the reason why we are not wanting to buy the game. Will it have an effect? no idea. Not doing anything guarantees the mandatory psn account

If nobody buys their game because of the forced PSN account, then that's on them. You're acting like one of those annoying activists on the picket lines, wanting everything to go their way. That's not how it works. You really want to play the game without being forced to create a PSN account? Go ask 'Jolly Roger' for it. Oh.. except you can't play the online multiplayer offline. Gee. I wonder why?

I'm not recruiting people to join in. I'm just letting the devs know why i'm not buying their game......
