    I want to know, why do people care? If you buy FFXIV on Steam you need the launcher and account with square Enix and many other games require the same, but why is it a problem with Sony?

  2. CloseVirus

    I will not give Sony a single cent until the remove this shit.

  3. JillValentine69X

    As long as the requirement is mandatory from the start then fine.

  4. Odd-Collection-2575

    Never played that game for the multiplayer anyways

  5. You can still play single player without PSN, fwiw.

  6. Semi_Square

    There was multiplayer in this game? Didn’t even know that

    I’m simply not gonna link my PC Steam account info to PSN considering Sony has had so many security breaches and personal data leaks over the years.

    If this is their stance, then it will be a skip for me unfortunately. They should pay for better data security first and prove they are serious with keeping peoples info safe.

    And then they don’t know why people pirate games.

    TIL: Ghosts of Tsushima has multiplayer.

    I’m telling you Sony will have a store front and launcher here at some point…this is all ground work

    Ghost of Tsushima is a single-player game first and foremost, with a side multiplayer mode.

    It seems a little strange for GMG to remove the entire game from those regions instead of just putting a disclaimer for them that they won’t be able to access the multiplayer portion.

    If there is a PSN account needed it probably wont be a game thats on family share on steam. My daughter wanted to play this as well. she may need to just use my computer for this one…

    This was to be expected. Helldivers 2 set a precedent for Sony to be clear with this moving forward. I have no issue with this at all as long as they are up front about it.

  14. I got platinum on that game and totally forgot there even was a multiplayer.

  15. IcyCaress

    I don’t care about multilayer so it doesn’t affect me 🙂

    Sony starts selling more games on PC to immediately piss off consumers and shoot themselves in the foot.

  17. TylerBourbon

    I never had intention of playing the multiplayer so I’m good. Otherwise I’d wait for a 7 seas version.

  18. WexMajor82

    As usual, they’re making a favour to those who sail the seas.

    It has always been a matter of service.

    So what I’m getting from this whole thing with Sony is that while I’m living somewhere where they won’t make PSN accessible, I should just keep playing Sony games on a PS5 so I don’t have to worry about sudden multiplayer games getting removed from my store.

    “Well I’m not buying / pirating” K enjoy the game, Sony is only releasing PC ports to add further profits, they’ll continue to make solid games for their consoles just like Nintendo. PC gaming doesn’t need Sony and vice versa.

  21. Brave-Row-2663

    And that’s different from what exactly? All games are like this, this isn’t news

  22. SeeingEyeDug

    It’s not a typical multiplayer mode. It’s all PvE cooperative. (though I guess they did add one mode where you compete with another team). It’s worth giving it a shot. It’s a loot game with randomized loot specs.

  23. ganon893

    Cool, never buying a Sony game.

    I’ll just play Sekiro. It’s better than this game anyway.

  24. MoontainIV

    What’s next we’ll need to pay a subscription if we want to play their slop online.

  25. YamaVega

    I dont know how will this be sold in Steam. Will the SP and MP be sold separately? coz if not, will we have same fiasco with Helldivers disappearing from Steam in countries unsupported by PSN?

  26. 100percentapplejuice

    The multiplayer is surprisingly really good. But the base game still blows it out the water.

  27. Floridacracker720

    Who cares about the PSN crap I don’t understand the outrage make an email that exists purely for gaming stuff make an account with a dumb password and use it for games literally who cares it is no big deal at all.

  28. People with both Playstation and PC would not mind. Having said that, this requirement sucks but not a deal breaker. GoT’s single player campaign is something else and first time PC players are in for a treat.

  29. Asmodean-WOT

    I don’t need psn from where i will download it 😏

  30. splendidpluto

    Do I need to pay for it to play online? I really liked the game and want it on steam

  31. That’s if I’m even able to purchase it on Steam. Can I still play it if I purchase a Steam key somewhere else though?

  32. shonasof

    And you can’t play EA games without an EA account. Or Ubisoft games without an Ubi account. Or Valve games without a steam account.

    I still don’t understand why anyone is surprised by this.

  33. Stricken-Hybrid

    Why the fuck would I wanna play such an awesome game online? I’m here for the story and great gameplay with mods. Not online social interaction.

  34. Bootychomper23

    I’m only in for single player if it works on deck if not I already have it on ps5

  35. Seems nobody has said this yet, so I will. The multi-player part has a three part raid. Enough said. Very challenging raid too. All players need to pull their weight.

  36. Rreyes302

    Big fan of having a PSN for Sony games on PV as a big trophy hunter. I just wish it wasn’t shoved down people’s throats in a predatory way.

  37. I think everyone is cool with this when you’re told very clearly ahead of time and it’s not just added after the fact.
