    Good. It is this or going high seas for me if I get to play this game. I’m so sick and tired of third party launchers and telemetry bullshit.

        theres probably telemetry or data stuff going on too.

        if you own one such game, check out the license agreement.

      It’s a free account. You can’t play Star Wars outlaws or whatever from Ubisoft, same with EA’s origin.

      A free PSN account? Ah hell no, fuck that critically acclaimed game I can’t possibly enjoy it when I have to sign in with a free account first!

        I mean, I don’t want to need an active Internet connection to play a single player game.

        Being forced to become dependent on a external party for a single player game is stupid and dishonest. What happens if their verification servers goes down?

        At least, I assume that it needs an active Internet connection to check if your logged in or not.

    Pirates are laughing. No psn, all DLC and non of this bullshit and also smaller install.

    Not to advocate for piracy, but the person getting it for free /stealing it shouldn’t have better experience than those paying.

    Not if every goddamn motherfuckering news outlet doesn’t shut the hell up about it.

    It’s almost like HEY SONY OVER HERE! u mad bro? Why don’t you do something about it?

    Edit; it’s already fucking gone. Shit journalism strikes again.

    Edit2: the author removed it literally because of the reasons I mentioned above

      The “Valve good guy” points are noto just with customers, they also don’t mess with publishers, otherwise you wouldn’t see this much AAA publishers get in business with Valve so easily.

      Epic gives literally money for free to publishers, but due to lack of “good guy points” (after all they bribe publishers: publishers are happy to get bribe money, but once you fail their demand… they shit all over you: see Randy Pitchfork’s latest comments on Epic) publishers are quick to forget them (despite much more convenient cut share).

      TL;DR: if Valve annoy publishers, publishers take away the “Valve good guy” point.

    Man, I just can’t give a fuck about this.

    Origin, Ubisoft, etc. all forced us to do the same thing. Most things on the fucking internet require a free account. Yeah it’s annoying (in the 2-3 mins it takes to create one) but who the fuck lets FREE ACCOUNT CREATION stand in the way of a critically acclaimed game???

    Seriously who fucking cares just play the fucking game or move on with your life jfc
