God of War Ragnarok will require PSN account on PC

This is probably just a marketing fuck up, I'd be very surprised if this isn't just for the PlayStation overlay. If it isn't, and the entire game is indeed online only, then Sony is about go get a ton of hate and deservedly so.
Bit useless if people can't even buy it:
Yup, and they'll let you know ahead of time too from now on like this, so that a Helldivers style backlash doesn't catch them again.
I'm so glad to live in a Sony Interactive Entertainment approved country! Why doesn't everyone just move somewhere to make a PlayStation® Network account? Are they stupid?
They'll just pretend those countries don't exist just like they do on console.
i dunno how making a PSN account would solve the above.
Their exact wording is "PlayStation Network Account required, subject to the PlayStation Terms of Services and User Agreement"
There's no multiplayer mode here so it's required outright
I thought I was being obvious enough, but that was facetious
Because what better way to get people into your MAU statistics than holding the sequel of a game you already let them play as bait?
Went to add it to my wishlist only to see this. Biggest ooof 2024
They can't track if your buying the sequels on PlayStation unless they get your PSN via PC first
I haven't seen any keysellers selling them. They either say the key can't be activated or the page doesn't exist.
right, except apparently now Steam isn't offering it for sale to the residents of all the places where PSN isn't actually supported officially.
Where are the mods for dismissive posts like this when millions of people across 170+ countries won't be able to play a game they have been excited to play for almost two years?
This is a real issue that should not be swept under the rug. It's a terrible decision for the players, great for Sony's short-term KPIs.
But... why?? I was fine with the Helldivers 2 thing (as stupid as it was) but God of War is literally a fully singleplayer game, why are they requiring a PSN account for it? Ragnarok isn't going to sell nearly as well as 2018 did on Steam because of this shit, goddamn
That isn't the disagreement here mate, its the fact that now 170 countries can't purchase the game.
Also, as someone answered me, there isn't even an online component in the game so they are quite literally online-only-ing a singleplayer game. That shit is fucked up, and others have fallen for the same thing so Sony should not be granted an excuse here.
That seems to be the sentiment and I really do not like it. Not going full "oh my god they are becoming obnoxious again now that they basically run the console sector" but it's certainly moving to that.
PSN isn't available in most countries, and you can't buy this game (or Helldivers 2 or GoT) if you don't live in a PSN supported country.
