*Account for PlayStation Network is required.
Last I checked, this was a singleplayer game. Why is Sony so adamant on an account?

and because of this, the game isn't available in my region. Guess I'll pirate it if I ever feel like playing it then.
Same for me with Ghosts of Tsushima. I haven't pirated a single game in 15 years. It's crazy that Sony doesn't sell a game in a EU country for God knows what reasons.
Yarr harr fiddle dee dee...
Definitely pirate it, it is a fantastic game. There is a whole area you find by accident that has more to do than a lot of games main story. The story is brilliant, I really love these two games.
Fuck sny though, def pirate it.
Oof really? Damn, and I was actually looking forward to this.
Oh well.
Because a line needs to go up
They want this so that they can boost their player numbers, as well as tracks users on what they're playing.
Appreciate you finding the one thing I wanted to know from the article.
Maybe to see how many former PSN users haven't decided to pick up a PS5, since that's what they'd see after my account coming online for the first time in years.
They're basically online loyalty accounts like you'd have at retail stores.
Give us Demon's Souls, cowards.
And then remake bloodborne
It's a shame it requires a PSN account. I got an account, but making it a requirement is deal breaker in my eyes. Hopefully it will find it's way on to GOG one day, plenty of other of activities to do in the meantime.
Wasn’t the new CEO just talking about how they were counting on PC players to go out and buy the console for sequels? I’m over here still waiting for Spider-Man 2, no intention of buying a console again.
That was explaining the delayed releases for PC, not saying they would never come to PC.
In this example Ragnarok came out in 2022, so there probably isn't much meat left on the PS5 bone with this one.
They're taking some meat off the PC bone by requiring this account again after it just caused major problems for them.
