See and that's where they lose me. If it was truly a requirement, why disable it at all? If it's a requirement now, why could I play before without it? I get the game had network issues when it launched so they disabled the PSN requirements at that time. They could have resolved those network issues without disabling the PSN linking. Convenient that they also sold this game in regions where PSN isn't available and now those people are just SOL.

I know legally they're covered, because they have disclosures on the store page and at the start of the game. I don't care. Fuck their disclosures. This was a stupid way to handle it. They can have their legal victory, they lost a player anyways.

All they had to do is make PSN linking optional and this wouldn't be an issue for the vast majority of people that don't exactly trust Sony with their data. Not like they've had a repeated history of hacks and leaks of PSN customer data.
