It’s crazy to see Sony kill their golden goose.
No. I fundamentally disagree with the idea of changing the TOS after sale. That’s some grade A bullshit, and if we had decent consumer protection laws doing that would be illegal without an opportunity for a full refund. It blows my mind how many people seem to be okay with this in general. It’s not the Sony account that’s the issue for me, it’s Sony changing the terms when it clearly was not a requirement at release. Sony isn’t the only one guilty of this, but they are the most recent example.
It was always a requirement. But was temporarily paused due to technical reasons.
Now they are starting to enforce what always was a requirement.
The real fuckup is selling the game in countries where PSN is unavailable.
So no. Hate it as much as you want. But they didn’t suddenly change the condition. The condition was always there.
It was optional. Sony’s FAQ also changed on May 3.
Do I have to sign in to PSN to play a PlayStation game on PC?
Before May 3 “Signing in to PSN is optional when playing a PlayStation game on PC.”
After May 3 “Some PlayStation games may require you to sign in and link an account for PSN.”
Sorry for the Reddit link but there’s a lot more discussion happening there:
