Yeah, and yet I’m on PC using Steam. If I’d wanted PSN, I’d bought a Playstation. The same secondary account bullshit applies to Ubisoft, Origin, and all of their buddies. Honestly, Steam should simply refuse to list games that require that, since they could simply use your account, but yeah, money.
And so be mad at Sony specifically? But they are okay with Steam having their data and selling it? Do they also not use a smart phone? Do they drive a car made in the last 4 years? Do they use credit cards? Loyalty cards? The outrage over their data use by Sony specifically is ridiculous when everything else is also siphoning the same information for no benefit to them.
Damn, you only missed the chance for the if you got nothing to hide argument.
If I buy a smartphone, and choose to use Android and Google, I get the benefit of all the stuff Google provides me, by my choice. I can cancel my account, and buy an iPhone next. That’s fine for me, because I chose to do that to use the benefits. If I use a credit card for all my purchases comfortably in one place, then it’s my choice. I can swap to another payment method or bank anytime. That’s fine for me, because I chose to do that to use the benefits.
If I’m forced to create an account that does absolutely nothing for me, then I’d be pissed. Not to speak about people in countries without PSN. Where’s that written, and why did they happily sell the game to people they knew they’ll lock out? Where’s the announcement that a refund policy will be implemented for such cases?
There’s a HUGE fucking difference between your Sony bootlicking arguments you post in every thread about this, and the actual impact of Sonys actions.
The account link was optional, but somewhere they have written that the PSN account will be required at a later stage, seemingly due to issues at launch. Now, people who are living in a country where PSN is not available (which are quite a lot actually) will no longer be able to play, neither to refund, since the launch is months ago.
So it’s way more than just having yet another account, which is especially ridiculous in the case of PSN for Steam PC games.
So, the “license to kill” is fine, as long it’s non US citizens?
Your definition of democracy and basic human rights is fucking unhinged.
