    Not only do you need an account with those other publishers, but you often need an entirely separate launcher.

    This Sony thing is simply creating an account.

    This is all just console wars bullshit. It’s stupid when it was Nintendo vs. Sega. It’s stupid when it’s Sony vs. Microsoft. And it’s stupid when it’s PC vs Console.

    Grow the fuck up, you emotionally-stunted fucking manchildren.

      It’s not because “it could be worse” that it shouldn’t be better. There’s no good reason to force players to sign into a dedicated account to play a singleplayer game. It’s not because other publishers are worse that this isn’t a gaming sin. Pointing the finger to less green pastures only gives the current one a chance to match the landscape.

        Ok, cool.

        Let’s revisit this when Rockstar gets universal adoration for GTA6, which will absolutely require a Rockstar account & launcher.

          Yup. Sadly it’s always the same old song and dance. Death by a thousand cuts because basic consumer rights don’t actually exist.

        So that’s who that tool is that’s trying to convince me I need to hate another game every time I rot my brain on TikTok.

        I don’t know how many times I’ve told that app I’m not interested in how much he hates Star Wars Outlaws.
