Last I checked, this was a singleplayer game. Why is Sony so adamant on an account?
They’re basically online loyalty accounts like you’d have at retail stores.
Maybe to see how many former PSN users haven’t decided to pick up a PS5, since that’s what they’d see after my account coming online for the first time in years.
and because of this, the game isn’t available in my region. Guess I’ll pirate it if I ever feel like playing it then.
Yarr harr fiddle dee dee…
Same for me with Ghosts of Tsushima. I haven’t pirated a single game in 15 years. It’s crazy that Sony doesn’t sell a game in a EU country for God knows what reasons.
Definitely pirate it, it is a fantastic game. There is a whole area you find by accident that has more to do than a lot of games main story. The story is brilliant, I really love these two games.
Fuck sny though, def pirate it.
Because a line needs to go up
Oof really? Damn, and I was actually looking forward to this.
Oh well.
They want this so that they can boost their player numbers, as well as tracks users on what they’re playing.
Appreciate you finding the one thing I wanted to know from the article.
