You’re right and I know this because even I was contemplating buying it despite this. Trying to justify that I won’t care because I’m always in games for the single player offline experience. But fuck that, even if I’m alone, I’m not. I’ll wait for the pirated copy and play that instead.
Sony is banking on many of us who have been waiting years for this release to just roll over and suck it up.
And it’s the dumbest thing for them to fight the customer over because it’s a free account that could have just been an option if the player wants to link. I have a PS account and would have gladly linked my account to it without question had they not been forceful about it like this. And many more players would be the same.

Why did they have to start this shit once they finally release the one game I’ve been looking forward to…
Fucking Sony always being a greedy corporate buzzkill.
The most demanded products provide more monetization opportunities, or so they think.

The one game I’ve been waiting on from the ps catalog. Wont be buying it either.
I’ll be pirating, and I haven’t pirated a game in almost twenty years.
you have been missing out on a delightfully bullshit-free experience, for no money too. you will have a blast.
And this extends FAR beyond just games.
you can’t just drop this one and not explain it better. pls enlighten me.
you can pirate movies too, but i think this is it?
Movies, ebooks, audiobooks, TV shows, anime, games, PC software (be careful with this one), etc… You just need to know where to look.
