It’s already too late. I haven’t purchased the game yet, but now it’s 100% guaranteed I never will.
edit: I had no idea so many people were this brainwashed into thinking the overbearing data collection we deal with today is perfectly reasonable. I thought for sure that taking an anti-data-collection stance would be agreeable to most people…

If you disable cross-play do you still need a PSN account?

Apologizes without doing anything about it*
“We are not owned by Sony. We are a strong independent developer that makes our own decisions.”
That doesn’t read like an apology, reads like a guy who has no control over the game anymore.

Sony are getting worse and worse these days, so anticonsumer.
LerchAddams
Damn shame.
I’ve got a back log a mile long so I can pass on this one.
I really don’t need to get marketed to by yet another company even if this game is that good.

That’s why I never give Sony any money.

Was gonna buy but I guess not now. I don’t have consoles. I don’t have PNS account. Not gonna bother for 1 game. Oh well.

These advances need to be beaten back at every turn.
This is a slow boil enforcing. PC users to have to pay to reach the online services.

Honestly I feel bad for the dev studio. this ain’t their fault, it’s Sonys fault

If that’s an apology, then my dick is 20 inches long.

IMO, the point the gamer community is missing, is that this should open a conversation about refunds and heavy change of TOS.
Changing the contract after a while should be ilegal af and EULA should cover your ass when you do that, and if it does, a refund should be a warranty

Did yall noticed all those utter toxic peeps coming in big number acting all contrarian corpo bootlicker defending adding the psn requirement ? Like every post talking about this they’re there shitting on everyone…

I know nothing of this man except what this post encapsulates, but to me this tweet reads like a guy who is saying everything he’s allowed to say to stem the flow of negativity on something he’s proud of and doesn’t want to see ruined.

This is the first step. Next will be a PlayStation launcher that’s linked to all their other published games you own that you’ll need a PSN account to access.

It’s not like he didn’t know. Nice to say but still doesn’t fix anything.

Sorry, this may be a dumb question, but when they say a PSN account is required it means you need to pay for an active subscription or just create an account on PSN?

Sony seems allergic to good pr decisions
