I think sony is forcing this mandatory psn account on us to make their own launcher at some point

[_galaxy]

Like, it seems silly they do the whole trophy interface and all that unless they want people to go to their platform. Now Sony's plan was "well we want them to buy a ps5 to play the sequel" but that seems silly when they release the live service game at the same time.

I think they're preparing to force everyone to download the playstation launcher. Think about it. You already made the psn account to play ragnarok. You just use the same login on the playstation launcher. At that point the games wouldn't be released on steam anymore just the launcher.

I also doubt at that point it would just be playstation games. They could earn pc money getting sales from pc gamers too creating a UWP for releasing games on PC and playstation. If they take a page out of microsoft's book that is.

So some things I thought I should mention.

Sony will also get a reality check on the GTA 6 when a lot of people DO buy a console just to play GTA, but probably not the amount they were expecting. It will probably be people already on a console, some PC users sure but not the amount they expect.

Second, altough I won't buy any playstation games that require a psn account, I like the idea of this. Steam needs competition, the more competition the more gamers win. This could also be the thing that finally reduces the steam cut (more than it was already reduced, because steam did reduce it) because Epic kinda failed on that. Maybe they could even fix their steam community moderators issue.

The one thing is... if a playstation gamer buys a game on playstation, can they play it on PC? Knowing Sony, I doubt it. They sure want to convert PC players to playstation, just not playstation players to PC.

GTA 6 is gonna be a micro-transaction riddled slog. The online at least.

Shark Cards or whatever the hell they're called were an afterthought for GTA 5 and they permeate literally everything in that game's online.

This time Rockstar can bake the micros-transaction right into the game code instead of placing it on top after.

Yippy.

Also, I'm not likely to buy GTA6 because I'm not making a Rockstar account, or if I have one, remembering anything about it.

I own GTA5 but IDR making an account for Rockstar, if I did, I shouldn't have. Don't know, haven't played that game in like 8+ years.

Simply put: can you use this software without internet for a prolonged period of time?

In GTA 5 you cannot do that, because you need to connect occasionally for it to function.

It's been used as EXCUSE for crossplay, cross progress hasn't been done, but trophies have been done.

The issue is it's MANDATORY. That's the whole point of the post.

Have you posted this on the forums that their GAMES require PSN? Or are you afraid of the push back. I'd argue this is not an Off topic topic. as there are many post from unhappy users about this in the forums where Sony's games require PSN what does

This God of War Ragnarök topic is relievant to your topic.

I posted on horizon zero dawn to warn people.

I don't care about god of woke ragnarok, also that post is dumb it's not the same. The helldivers community was sold on a lie, the psn requirement is upfront. If you don't like it you can choose to not buy it it's that simple. I am not buying it. God of woke won't force a psn requirement after the purchase, the psn account is already required.

Also this is a discussion, it's not in favor or against the psn requirement, just my thoughts that it's a way to get the playstation launcher on pc.

[Nerd Gamer Buddy]

more like to pay something to play their games. also why lock it out of half the world? its to bump their numbers up which is working as god of war r is successful

[ZheZleepiest]

jokes on them, despite having a playstation 5 that connects to the internet just fine, my ISP won't ♥♥♥♥ing let me go their websites haha.

Matters very little, as they won't be leaving steam anyway

Sony can sucn an egg with Nintendo imo. I have zero desire to play their games.

If it means getting gran Turismo on PC I don't mind

Same. I actually really wanted to play nintendo games but at this point I don't give a ♥♥♥♥. Their games are so coveted that people are improving on their formula and delivering better experiences on PC. Who cares your game is a GOTY if I have to experience it on a 720p30fps tablet that's so ass. Palworld sounds amazing though I really want to play that.

You gonna eat whatever ♥♥♥♥ sony gives to you, like god of woke ragnarok and mary jane 2? Just to get gran turismo here? I mean at least it's gran turismo I guess.

I mean I would probably create a throway account for gran turismo, but at least that has multiplayer. However, Gran Turismo has been known to get offline patches after sony ends the service of the game (it's still bad they even end the service of the game which includes multiplayer though). But would that apply to PC? I also heard the latest gran turismo is kinda bad.

It also depends if gran turismo gets the same bootleg anticheat as helldivers 2. I sure as ♥♥♥♥ wouldn't trust that on my main PC, but I would play it on my steam deck though (If I had one!)
