Love that Sony is essentially murdering one of the best multiplayer shooters I've ever played because they want everyone to be in their shitty ecosystem.
Look, for me on a personal level, I like the game enough that I have no issue linking a PSN account. And it was on the Steam page from the start that linking would be required. But that's not the problem.
This sort of thing should not be mandatory. I can think of *incentives* for doing this (cross progression???) But making this mandatory is a huge fuckup. For one, there are many many countries that do NOT have PSN access, so anyone from those countries are effectively banned. For two, there are people that have privacy concerns given SONY's track record with hacks and infosec. And it's pretty damn clear the game does not need this. Crossplay has worked fine as far as I've seen, so the only reason this is happening is because SONY wants it to happen.
Personally I feel that's a non-issue, given *gestures at everything*, so what's one more tbh? (Especially people complaining about this on places like Discord) but hey there are people who are concerned about that and I suppose I commend that.
Shitty decision by SONY all around. Stupid corporate morons.
