    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.

      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”.

      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.
