I thought it was mandatory at release, but added a skip button when the login servers couldn’t handle the traffic at launch. They’re trying to re-enforce it now.
Its just scummy because of the reasons listed above and people lost their refund window when it was optional. It’s mentioned on the steam page. But IMHO there’s a difference between needing a 3rd party account to play the game and linking it to steam which would give them access to more data than you’ll want to share.
Edit: I’m not trying to defend Sony. **** em. Talk about killing your golden goose. I’m guessing they’re assuming it’ll blow over by the time a month passes. Ans people will just keep playing.
I feel bad for AH though. You can tell they’re proud of the game. Sony is shafting their hard work with corporate greed. If anything i think it does more damage to their studio than it does to Sony ( in absolute numbers. This could’ve flopped and sony wouldn’t really notice ).
