    It may have been in the fine print. I’ll grant you that. But the de facto experience did not require a account with PlayStation.

    I have on occasion accidentally bought an EA game, only to launch it to see that it requires an EA account, and then to refund it.

    I don’t have an issue with somebody creating a game that requires a PlayStation account, that’s their business more power to them. Changing the requirements after the refund window has finished is what I have issue with. And I agree with you I don’t expect them to give me a refund, but I’m going to god damn well ask.

    But let’s put it this way, I played a game, but I did not create a Sony account. Now the game is being taken away from me unless I agree to Sony’s terms and conditions. If I don’t agree if those conditions the game doesn’t work. That’s refundable

    Not to mention a good middle ground would be you can’t do steam to Sony cross play unless you have a Sony account. Fair enough

      Alternative take: they didn’t change the terms, they started enforcing the terms we already agreed to.

      I’m gonna make an account anyway, for me the bigger issue was the exclusivity, I boycott Sony due that, and won’t be buying any of the FF games, but I decided to make an exception for HD2, for better or worse.

        Changing how the game is experienced is changing the de facto terms. But sure I agree with you it’s better that the title is not exclusive.
