It wasn’t hidden in some legalese riddled document. It was listed on the store page on the right side where they put all the requirements for outside accounts. I get there are people who don’t want to have to install other launchers and make other accounts, but it was there. To complain that they are now enforcing it when it was obviously disclosed and claim it was a bait and switch are wrong.
Should they have sold it to countries Sony doesn’t serve? Obviously not.
Why is this so hard to grasp? If I saw that and knew I couldn’t have made an account, I wouldn’t have bought the game…
So to be clear: this is not an argument for the requirement to be logged in to PSN. At no point are you arguing any value or purpose to it.
As such, it’s also not an argument against the negative reviews. Even if “people should have known before purchasing it” if the negative reviews are because of the PSN requirement, that is still valid.
