So a lot of the players on steam are seeing it for the first time now.<br /><br />Personally, I'd be pissed as well, and that's even with me having a PSN login.<br /><br />If I want to log in to PSN to play a game, I will BUY THE GAME ON PSN TO BEGIN WITH. <br /><br />*pauses to mark both Arrowhead Studios and Sony PC LLC on ignore - ignores are permanent for me so they'll never get another dollar out of me on Steam.*<br /><br />I will of course continue to buy games on PSN, potentially. Although depends on the type of game when a PSN login is being required. An online game, sure, PSN login not a problem, for a PSN game. If the game was an offline game or had an offline mode that's locked behind a PSN login, then that would just probably solidify the fact that I'm not buying Playstation consoles anymore. (Still haven't bought a PS5 to this day, but it's only because there's nothing on the console I absolutely want to play. Certainly nothing worth the cost of the console. Microsoft can stop laughing since I stopped buying their stuff after the 360 ;)<br /><br />Case in point. I already had Helldivers 2 ignored. Just the game. I'm not entirely sure why it was ignored anymore although I don't think it was the login thing. (I auto-ignore anything that comes up in my discovery queue that has a 3rd party login requirement.) Because Arrowhead and/or Sony decided to pull a fast one here with switching around the requirement, everything they touch got tossed under the ignore along with it. Do I expect Sony or Arrowhead to feel the weight of my ban? Hell no. :D But my wallet will feel a little heavier until I put that money they might have gotten to my other hobbies and that's more than good enough for me.<br /><br /><img src="https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=owsf2000&ditemid=158479" width="30" height="12" alt="comment count unavailable" style="vertical-align: middle;"/> comments
