      The PSN account nonsense, that was my number one reason never to purchase any games from PlayStation on steam, look we've already played this little dance with other game developer people out there, and to be quite Frank most of us are sick and tired of this nonsense, at first for me anyways it started with Ubisoft and I've never forgiven them and I never will, cuz they keep trying to push that crap on me, I don't want to play with their f****** launcher, I don't want to sign up to their b******* making a new account, why can't I just play the game I purchased on steam and not on their stupid ass service?
      And it's the same exact nonsense with a lot of other launchers, GTA oh I can't play that game unless I sign into my I forgot what the hell it's called, Rockstar club or some s***, oh by the way my account was hacked years ago, and I've never been able to get it back, and I have tried a few times, eventually I just gave up and I decided never to purchase another f****** Rockstar game ever again just because of that, and let's move on to EA games, I'm just out right never going to purchase a game from them ever because I know it's the same nonsense as Ubisoft and Rockstar, I am sick and tired of these f****** b******* platforms pulling this f****** s*** out of their ass and calling it candy.
      I will never sign up for PSN just as I will never sign up for EA games or Rockstar ever again, and I hope Ubisoft goes completely bankrupt and has to sell to another company, because screw that company wanting me to never own my games, that kind of d****** behavior warrants me has never been a customer ever again.

    If sony is concerned with it's players they should just say, "No crossplay if you don't sign in." I would be more than OK with that. Any other reason to have people sign up for accounts that no one wants after they bought the game is just smoke. Why make it a requirement for all the new single player games?

Sony thinks it will push people to buying into the PlayStation ecosystem but that won't work on PC gamers.

    Let's say we accept the argument that they want to keep players safe as fact and that's why we get no cross-play on ps5. And also, the mandatory psn account on pc releases as an extension of that.
    Even if you do not take the stuff you talked about at the start of the video in to account (ads, and e-mail contact info etc) and accept it at face value(player safety) their argument and wording still stinks because it that's the case what they are actually saying is "We want to be able to ban you and that's why we need you to have an account", just the other way around. They are not just implying that players on other platforms are socially maladjusted unwashed dangerous people, they are also saying that they are holding a sword over your head because you, a user on their platform, might just be one too. Even if the bs they are spewing to save face was the real reason, it's still severe backlash worthy.
    Also, their point of "online safety" completely falls apart because psn login is required for single player pc releases too.

    Maybe its because I just finished listening to the righteous mind, but this sounds like They already decided they want people to sign up for their Network so they're having to post hoc their argument to defend this action. Meaning none of their argument stands up the criticism because they didn't think critical about their decision.
    Saying they're doing this to drive more people to their platform/echo system is getting ignored by people and and won't win them any support. They should have just kept their games to their platform and none of this would be an problem.

      I disagree, just don't play the games. We aren't entitled to the games.

    I mean Sony isn't wrong. However I would word it differently. They are trying to avoid being found at fault in a court room setting. They don't want to be held liable. So the fact that people playing PS5 games are "safer" with a PS account is a byproduct of Sony covering their own asses.
