Why not outrage about xbox/ms for example? EA? Ubisoft? So the same people that make nude mods and very strange ones can't make a PSN account now? But they talk about the right to pirate with no push back, which is 100% a theft and a crime? Elegant.
I just love how you dodge every complaint and question by saying: "Oh no, you can't do this to us. Go do it to MS, or EA, or anyone!". That's fucking irrleveant, The issue at hand is PlayStaion. Imagine if the CEO of AH came out and said: "Why didn't you guys complain when MS did it?". Do you see how that dumb and useleess that kind of argument is?

If that junkie is an influencer and has the most reach of them all then God help PC gamers.

Sheeps.
And he goes huge for PC simping... while owning pc selling company.
And then he launches the game, doesn't know any of graphical options but disables motion blur on the spot like if it was 2001 gta 3 motion blur lol.
sheep.

And another problem is - he says it;s his first steam review. This is really saying a lot because most people will never write a good review but negative review? FUCK YEAH LETS GO!!!

I guess you have no problem with lots of positive steam reviews that are basically:

"Give me Bloodborne Sony!!!"

Most Sony games have very positive to overwhelmingly positive ratings. Only TLOU (one of the worst PC ports of all time) and now Helldivers 2 had mixed to positive ratings. So lots of people go and write reviews when they like a game.

These youtubers feast on negativity though. I agree with that. Better to be first in line than to check everything for clicks.

This is not on Steam and Helldivers was not even mentioned. It's a generic FAQ for all games. Valve is not legally obligated to follow that FAQ on Sony corp website.

Amazing:

I agree with this take. After some initial backlash Sony should’ve backed off and tried to take a more tactical swing at it later but now it’s too late. I do agree this could further alienate steam users from buying their games because of this. I’m sure the relationship with them and arrowhead is now strained too. Plus the media pile on, and the very real backlash of their golden goose.

This goes to show, Sony is a guest on pc, not a shot caller, and these aren’t real fans. These are fair weather fans at best, not a new core audience. It makes “psn requirement” a negative meme. Sony just set what little clout they had on fire and potentially killed the game on pc so corporate meeting can boast new psn profile numbers.
Yes. Steam gamers were never core fans or whatever, no one claimed so or wanted that even. We simply buy Sony's games if Sony wishes to sell them to us on Steam. Simple as that.

And you are right about the damage this whole thing has done, it's a disaster.

Has anyone come up with a reason why Steam players should sign in to PSN? Anyone?
Yeah, I think I know their reasons and logic now:

>Feelings
>You hate Sony
>PC gamers break laws and fake their zipcodes
>Steam reviews should be abolished.

Unless they implement an AI that reads the review and deletes the joke, troll ones whether positive or negative, I don't think that's possible for now.

That's not a reason.

By your logic, signing in to PSn on Steam would be like signing in to Neogaf to access Icon-era. Shudder the thought.
Yes, if you want to see and participate on IconEra.
Just because you are agreeing Neogaf rules and regulations, doesn't mean, it gives you rights on IconEra, it so basic level of understanding, anyone with brains.

Yeah of course the game is garbage. I tried it way back, I don't remember having to link anything. I would appreciate it if you stopped calling me a liar.

But what point are you trying to prove by posting a picture of my 2 hours of gameplay? You Sony fanboys are so toxic it's impressive.

Both games deserve bashing for requiring linking another platform to be able to play the game.
Bashing for what? It’s gaas game. They are supposed to be a platform.
Obviously Sony will have u to sign in to your psn

You shouldn't. I implore all pc gamers to stop buying playstation games on steam, as Sony will do this going forward for their future games and no amount of crying is stopping it.

Hopefully that will make it no longer financially viable to port stuff to pc.

Sounds like a win to me.

You should ask yourself why every single gaas game needs to have the publisher account. Then everything makes sense. The problem with steam users they are a bunch of entitled pricks. Steam doesn’t own the game
