There will definitely be a way around this easily for pirates. They may believe that if will stop piracy but it’s really just going to be anti consumer
Except getting more user information, I don’t really see the big advantage for Sony so it’d be interesting to know why they want to require a PSN account in countries where you can’t get one.
Also I’d want to know why you can’t get one in some countries.
I already have a Steam account, I’m not giving yet another company my details and login data just to play a game on a platform I already have an account for. Nope.

Nice, it’s already banned where I live. Can’t wait to pirate it.
kid named Denuvo:
Is it announced to have it? Don’t see anything on the Steam store page, games with Denuvo generally have a little warning there
hopefully not. the PSN debaucle is a bit suspect though. Sony’s being a big douche lately.
Guess I’ll wait it out, as usual.
It being a huge game everyone wants to play. %100 will get cracked within a month.

It costs them money to include, so they’ll take it out eventually
A few weeks later:
Sony: Piracy is killing the industry! We need tougher legislation!
🏴☠️
I think soon they will require a psn account for all their upcoming games
It’s definitely an anti piracy measure. Which sucks complete fucking ass
Edit: it’s multiplayer only

Safe bet.
Garbage cunts.
What’s the point of region restricting PSN accounts?
“Play has no limits”
Laws? 🤷♂️

It’s kind of weird too since they sell PS5s in regions where PSN isn’t officially supported.

So you’re gonna buy it from the PlayStation store and play it on PS5?
