Idk about other places than Steam, but I’m surprised more people haven’t gone at Steam for allowing the game to be sold in countries that will get essentially blocked from playing. I feel like they should’ve had some kind of cross referencing going on there.
Well, to be fair, they did write - in bold letters - on the Steam page that a Playstation network account is required to play.
They simply didn’t enforce that rule up until now.
Also locks out anyone not living in the 66 countries serviced by the PSN.
Also now requires giving your personal info to yet another third party and their friends. A third party which has a storied past of losing user data.
The game was sold other places (like the Humble store) without the PSN warning.
Also it’s been sold in countries that the PSN doesn’t support.
I’m totally with you on that latter point - Sony needs to do something about that.

Sony did. They said you need an account.
I thought someone had gone to the waybackmachine and confirmed that it said it was optional initially and changed it when they made this decision?
That was Sony’s site. Super shitty what they did there.
But on the Steam Store page it was always “a PS account is required”.
That was PirateSoftware, and yes, but that was for Sony’s website not for the Steam page.
Still shit though.
Not having a system up to spec, I didn’t look at the Eula. That’s bizarre.
