That’s fine, as I said I didn’t like your tone. If you and Phil don’t think you said anything wrong that’s fine. (That’s the internet) Funny thing is I actually agree with your point and everything you’ve said about it.

Don't think any harm meant mate 🙂 @J4MES OX4D is a bit like me like and doesn't have many filters on, well i say like me, he's always wrong when he disagrees with me, obviously 🤪🤣🖤 But yeah the having to sign into Sony shouldn't be that big a deal, many Steam games require using a non Steam launcher, so why they wanted to stitch ppl up in Sony-less countries is baffling.

I don’t appreciate your tone with this response. However if that is the case that’s pretty shit, I just thought this was a verification wall they were adding (hence why I brought up EA). If this is the case it makes no sense. Why would you get rid of that many players?

There has been an update for this game so I'll boot it up later this evening. It needs a lot of work on optimisation and even with low settings makes my PC work its arse off. Fantastic game otherwise. I actually went back on Tarkov after their backtrack, which runs like a dream.. after lots of years of optimisation tbf

That's not the point - over 600,000 owners in 98 countries would have lost access to the entire game because PSN is not available in their region. The game was also forcibly removed from sale in 170 counties where PSN is not supported the day before they did a u-turn. Sony also have a shambolic reputation for security integrity so I can see why a lot of people are apprehensive about creating an account and mandatorily sharing their information with them and their affiliates, however the central issue with this situation was a huge portion of product owners would have not been able to play their purchase ever again due to this needless requirement. EA's service operates globally and if there is content restrictions in place, users cannot purchase outright so they aren't at risk of being burned down the line by things becoming inaccessible. This would be like Sony saying you need an Asian PSN account to play Final Fantasy games now and if you don't have one, you can't play their games anymore.

I wonder how many people will change there stream reviews after this? Happy for the fans and developers who didn’t want this change. However, it did seem quite petty to me that people didn’t want to sign up for an account to play a game. This is exactly what you have to do to play any EA game online, and I didn’t see the difference between that and this. It's probably just more that it wasn’t a thing at the start and they instead rolled it out after people had already been playing it for months.
