Imagine siding with a corporation that has a known track record of getting hacked.

As I like to reply to people pointing EA and Ubisoft as an example.
At the very beginning, EA and Ubi were making games for PC. They started to export them on consoles. Ea and Ubi both have and always had a store front to sell their PC games. So yeah, is it really mandatory that we link our games to their accounts? Maybe not, but most games requires a connection to the servers, their servers. For all those reasons, I'm willing to make an account.
Sony never and will probably never sell games on PC. The Sony store is for consoles only. PC players have nothing to do here. Since quite recently, Sony was making sure their exclusivities remained on Playstation only. It's not been that long that they understood they could sell them after some time on other platforms like PC. Since PC players often don't own and don't want to own a console, it's not the same kind of competition than they have with XBox. It's a different audience that is targeted on PC. So they thought "hey we can make more money selling on PC".. that's it.. but PSN does not sell games to PC nor provides any service for PC players. A PSN account therefore doesn't make sense. They mostly do it for marketing purpose or whatever but clearly, as a PC player, I would never have made an account on PSN while on Ubi and EA, I had accounts long before they started to sell on steam and required to link.

At best it's a minor annoyance and a clunky user experience. At worst it's a new security vulnerability that'll prevent certain players who are in regions that lacks PSN support from being able to play a game they payed for.

That's literally all of them. You could be hacked much easier than them, you're just a six piece chicken McNobody to the hackers.

Most games you listed need the account due to the game requiring data from the accounts. FF14 for example needs the SE account so you can pay your subscription and it was originally not a Steam game, so it's very understandable that a separate account is needed.

As far as I understand, Helldivers 2 does not need the PSN account to be playable. For the last few months people could play perfectly fine without it, so that's a big difference.

It's one thing requiring a separate account if the game actually needs it to function. It's another thing if its artificially forced on you entirely because they want your data/push their user numbers.

Yeah and those people who cannot make PSN account in their country simply deserve it.

What degenerate would think like that! Oh wait...

[badger vortex]

yeah, i only played some of those games and at a time where you didn't need a separate account to play. not sure what point you're trying to make here?

Don't worry, I'm sure more PSN integration will be added and will require the PSN account.

Couldn't help but notice Sony/PSN is no where on your list

Why hate? Spitz outright told us to write negative reviews and make our voices hear. I do that.

Why so much hate?

Why not read any of the literally hundreds of other threads asking the same question and getting answers instead of making another thread pretending there's no answer?

[harisenvin]

Dodged a bullet, almost bought this crap lmao

[Bokuto]

Because not every country allows you to create this damn account, and for creating an account with another country you can be banned and there have already been recent bans

He also told us to write to Sony but I bet writing to Sony requires a PSN account xDDDDD
