Question about PSN

[Varaziel]

Hello,

I played this game on PS5 an I liked it alot.
I would like to know if i have to subscribe to PS+ to play online or do I just have to login into my existing PSN account?

Thank you very much.

First it was privacy concerns, then it was paranoia over a mandatory account later after the release this all paired with a lot on misunderstanding, false claims and a bit of threatening - Voila, Sony pulled the plug in unsopported countries for the whole game.

Most of it is that over a 177 regions do not have official support and as such they delisted the game from sale there.

Gamers are Karens is something you should keep in mind. The problem that happened with Helldivers 2 I feel is more on Arrowhead than it was with Sony. PSN was required for that game too but they couldn't even keep the servers alive during launch and didn't communicate that it would return later. The problem of selling it in other countries is something that Sony largely ignored for a very long time as a way for those players to be able to play on PSN despite it not being official but now Sony's hands have been tied and will now enforce region locking games on PC so those players no longer get to play those games.

So in a way PC players got what they wanted and now those in countries outside of PSN support will not be able to make a "fake" location account and play games. So I guess they "won". But nobody will see it that way as people don't like to look into the details and they only care about people in their regions that can already make an account. I would like Sony to say how many people play Legends on PC to kind of put to bed the myth that PC players won't make another account.

That's my reading of all this and the only people that suffered at the end of it are those that can no longer buy multiplayer Sony games in their regions now. Still going to pick this one up as it's probably one of the best games Sony has made.
