Up until this point, a PlayStation Network account was not required to play the game on Steam.

    Remember when telemetry/data collection across the internet was often optional and pretty minor?

    The more shit we absentmindedly agree to because it’s not really a big deal in the short term, the worse it gets in the long term.

    If I play a game on Steam, then Playstation, EA, Ubisoft, etc should all fuck off. I already gave those companies my money, it’s insulting that that isn’t enough anymore.

      If all that is required is an email address and password I could live with giving Sony a special email address and unique password, I don’t see where I have a privacy or security risk there. Annoying, but it’s a lot better than another launcher or something. ETA: It asks for birthdate, definitely don’t give them your real birthdate but give them something close. I have a standard fake that I use.
