One thing that immensely frustrates me about this is we don’t get this reaction from Ubisoft where an account is required to play pretty much all their games. Nor Activision with Call of Duty.
It’s not great that Sony is doing this, but at the same time the horse has already left the barn and people are just jumping on the rage bandwagon.
I’m not saying don’t be mad at Sony, but can we get this outrage at the other companies too?
But this implies same people are also buying those games. Which they might not even be into.
GTA, cod and ubisoft games are polarising.
But there's a massive crowd who likes single player games. Especially ones that are meant to be good.
This is a single player game that wants me to log in. I won't buy something like that, irrespective of what company it's from.
Fair, that’s why I don’t buy anything Ubisoft like Assassin’s Creed.
Those are multiplayer games. Totally different.
Call of Duty uses it for crossplay. Totally different.
People had the same reaction, but it was long enough ago to be forgotten old news.
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.
But asmondgold doesn't have to! Why should I?!

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.
