Sony learned nothing from the Helldivers 2 shitshow.
Let’s not forget that the PSN integration reduces performance, as in: deleting the PSN stuff from Ghost of Tsushima results in higher FPS.

I assume pirates will get the better service, again. The AAA game industry’s evolution is a frustrating, pitiful joke. Really glad for the indie scene we have today.
Pirates:
I don’t understand the thoughts of Sony executives, but I guess I’m just not exec material. This will only lead to a decrease in sales, probably a substantial amount, both from people being literally unable to play it, and also from people now refusing to buy it. So what, pray tell, is the advantage to it? Do they think they’ll get more back from selling people’s data than they’ll have lost in sales?

Yes
I guess Sony didn’t want my money after all.
When it was on sale recently I didn’t buy it. Instead I removed all Sony games from my wishlist, knowing they would require PSN even for single player games.
This is no different than what Ubisoft, blizzard, etc are doing with their own launchers.
People will get used to it and will then become complacent with the new expectations for another account.
