Sony say their PSN account requirement on PC is so you can enjoy their games 'safely'

Sony forcing you to have a PlayStation Network account for all their recent PC releases hasn't been well liked, and they of course have no plans to back down on it.

I immediately imagined a modified screenshot of Zelda 1:

An old pixelized man (who looks like Hiroki Totoki) in a cave says:

"It's dangerous to play alone! Take this."

Instead of a sword, it's a little box that says "PSN"

A pixelized version of Aloy is at the bottom, hesitating.

safety and joy is oxymoronic, but yeah it makes sense where the law forces you to be a moderator

"Safely", wow, seriously, it's just to steal all info they can about the user.

Sony don't need to be worried, I'm enjoying their games safely, fully offline, not even connected to Steam 😉

Ok so they could make that argument for live service and multiplayer games, but why in the seven hells is it required for single player games 😑

I laugh out loud when they peddle this shit.

My character on GTA Online has been a woman (and often of colour) since forever, well before I moved from PS4 to PC.

I *never* got as many abusive text messages as I got on PS4. I figured I could act as a lightning rod (what caused me to play a black character in the first place) and report all the abuse, and a few weeks into it I got a message saying excessive reporting was grounds for a suspension. :blobcattableflip:

PSN is unsafe!

It's obvious the overlay and trophies synchronization is a coverup for their DRM and anti-tamper. Last time I checked SDKs like that don't need a rootkit.

pretty sure I'm safer not buying any more Sony games and not uploading a scan of my id and/or selfie to them and a 3rd party agent they use for processing...
