This is arguably less about us few privileged having to create an account on a shitty platform, just like with ea and ubisoft, but more about people from 175 countries not even being able to buy the game just because Sony doesn’t offer their services there even though it’s a singleplayer game distributed through Steam like many of their past games.
They just removed the requirement but didn’t make the game available in non PSN countries so they can just revert back to needing it whenever they want
I’m not necessarily opposed to needing a third party account for a game. VRChat for instance requires it but that makes it easy to use your same account on many different devices/platforms.
That said, Sony has a long track record of leaks, hacks, terrible and outright illegal practices and is generally shitty to their customers. So no, hell no, I will not sign up with them for anything.
You see, I don’t play games on consoles because I don’t like controllers.
I mean, I’ll use them in some scenarios, but the position I need to sit in to hold a controller is usually uncomfortable.
I’ve been playing PC games since the 90’s. I picked up an Xbox one S, and even set it up, and it’s been very good at collecting dust since I bought it. I got it used, so no big loss, but still.
I’m not going to pay $500+ for another dust collector, just to have the privilege to pay extra for games, and be uncomfortable playing them, then have no option to switch to a PC later because I only own that game on the stupid console.
It’s a waste of my time and money.
And if I really want to play a game with a controller, I can do that on my PC too.
Simply, if I buy a game on console, I’m forced to use that console and it’s controller, to play. If I buy it on PC, I can play it however the fuck I want to, on any system I want to. Fuck your exclusivity deals, and fuck you.
I mean maybe? I certainly was both a PC and Console gamer for most of my life now and I’m certain there will be a percentage that will continue to do so.
Nowadays? Nah, I’m out of the console game since graphics aren’t better than the PC and the PC options for playing on a TV are numerous now.
I am so patient that I won’t buy these games until they put them 50% or more off.
I just leave them on my wishlist. My computer is 9 years old and it is still better than even the next gen will be. Why would I pay for a downgraded computer with a crap operating system.
I think you’re overestimating your PC if you haven’t updated it in 9 years, even if you have like 2 Titan Xs, the featureset on them is totally outdated.
I’m only basing it on Can I Run It, it say the computer can still run 96% of games in their list on minimum requirements and 71% of games on recommended.
It even says I can’t run Cyberpunk 2077 which is not true as I have played it on my computer without issue on high settings. I have an Asus Strix GTX 970 OC
