I’m honestly asking why people are so furious about the psn account. Is it because you don’t want to give your data to Sony?
I’d clearly understand with something like facebook or google, but I don’t think giving my data to Sony is the end of the world.
I’m not a pc gamer and I wouldn’t want to have every company pushing for their own account, but I don’t see why Sony is getting so criticized when (I think) Ubisoft or Electronic Arts have been doing this for years on PC.
Maybe with helldivers you can argue the cross play angle, but why require a PSN account for a single player game? Sony’s also doing this with the new Until Dawn version which also is coming to steam.
I can’t speak for others, but for me it’s just a nuisance. I’m not furious about it. I avoid buying EA and Ubisoft games too. It’s a small thing for one game on one account, but when you acquire a lot of games across a bunch of different accounts, all those different logins and launchers just become a bother.

Sony has a long history of data breaches and hacks. https://firewalltimes.com/sony-data-breach-timeline

This is what baffles me as well. Online game I can understand… but offline single player…???
Also, why in the 21st century does Sony not expand PSN world wide, and why is it only available in a handful of countries
Yeah PSN not being available everywhere is weird and not good for their sales then.
I guess every PlayStation game on pc is kind of belonging to the PlayStation universe and that’s why it’s an excuse to demand a psn account.
I’m addicted to trophies so I don’t mind the psn account.
I guess people who don’t want to get a psn account should just not play these games and not pirate them as some people are suggesting.

I can only agree with this 👍
On PlayStation it ain’t a nuisance because the psn account is valid for every game, but on pc I agree with you.
It’s funny to me because tons of PC-exclusive games also require accounts on Steam and no one cares.
The requirement is dumb, but the attention is also disproportionate because of console war fandom.
