      This will not affect their bottom line in any way. No one cares. Remember how bad Cyberpunk was? How Sony and others offered refunds with no questions asked? Yeah their financial reports showed a near-imperceptible effect on their financials. This is people screaming about nothing on the internet because they can. Furthermore, ANY game published by a company like this requires you to make an account with them. Welcome to 2008.

    This is most likely Sony demanding this change (not the devs). The only reason to require an extra login is to track the user's data. I worked for an online games publisher for many years, so this is not conjecture on my part. They want to catalogue your spending habits and send you targeted ads, because apparently having a game be super successful was not profitable enough for Sony. Never ceases to amaze me how scummy these big companies are, and anyone defending this decision is an absolute moron, or straight up disingenuous.
