Nice! Glad the devs listened and helped convince Sony they’re dumbasses for this. I do hope Sony will realize this for their other games including Ghosts of Tsushima. Hell I hope all of these other dumbass publishers stop with the bullshit of external accounts and launches.

Still I’ll add that I’ll wait until there’s and official announcement, after all it’s still Sony and there may be some other side of the coin on this.

Eyeing the Helldivers 2 backlash with a nervous flop sweat, Sucker Punch assures us that Ghost of Tsushima won't need a PSN login for single player

Its co-op online multiplayer mode, on the other hand, will require a PSN account.

Nice! I haven’t done anything but bitch on the internet so far but I’m going to go write a steam review in celebration right now.
I gave it a negative yesterday, just switched it back to positive.
Going to wait until it’s official on the steam page before I flip back
Likely never going to happen. It’s been there for months without being enforced. Sony won’t pay someone to go and change it when it provides no benefit to them.
Don’t flip the reviews until the changes are actually made.
Reviews can always be changed back to negative again.
What change? The changes were made several months ago. If you’re expecting Sony to go in and change the ToS, you’re asking too much of a corporation.
They absolutely will change ToS is it says you must have a playstation account to play on steam
It already says that. And yet people have been playing without it for months. That’s the whole point.
Great! Can we do something about kernel-level rootkits now?
That ship has sailed due to being present since release and most people being ok with an intrusive anticheat since that has an intended positive purpose.
They didnt require a psn account for Helldivers 1, I wonder why they thought it would be a good idea now.
Supposedly it was for ‘player safety’ which is a load of crap since steam already handles that.

We’re still learning what is best for PC players

lol

rootkits, you say?

We’re still learning exactly how much bullshit our customers will tolerate.

See you all at the next controversy!

Thank god, that was one of the more idiotic decisions in modern gaming history. Like the time the flappy bird dev took the game down right when it reached it’s peak. I dunno if HD2 will really recover from this blow, that might have been the high water mark for the game. I will probably give it a whirl again sometime, though.
