On Ghost of Tsushima DIRECTOR'S CUT and PSN [May 04, 2024, 11:52 am ET] – Share – Viewing Comments
Seeing the writing on the wall,
a xeet
from Sucker Punch Productions addresses the upcoming PC launch of Ghost
of Tsushima, as the
Epic Listing and the
Steam Listing for the DIRECTOR'S CUT of the PlayStation open-world action
adventure each reference a PlayStation Network account requirement (thanks
Wccftech). Aware that
HELLDIVERS 2 is embroiled in controversy over the same requirement, the
post notes that a PSN account will not be required for the single-player side of
the game. But HELLDIVERS 2 has no single-player mode, so it's not clear how much
pain this will save them. Here's word:
Just so you are aware, A PSN account is required for Legends online multiplayer mode and to use PlayStation overlay. It is not required to play the singleplayer game.

Sony did the dumbest thing possible. Gamers will hesitate and doubt whether to click that buy button for PlayStation games on Steam or EGS. That's going to cost Sony way more money than what they hoped to achieve through new PSN accounts. I don't feel sorry for them. They did this to themselves. Who I do feel sorry for is the developer caught in the middle of this nonsense.
Do you feel the same way about many Microsoft games requiring a MS account like MSFS, Halo, Sea of Thieves etc.? And how has it hurt Microsoft or how has it cost them "way more money than they hoped to achieve through new [MS] accounts"?
Or what about Blizzard (Diablo IV et al), UbiSoft, Take2/R* or EA? Are all of them bleeding out of their assholes?

The most exercise some people get is jumping to conclusions.

Well they learned fast. Good, I was really looking forward to getting this game and now it looks like I will (when it goes on sale).
I have never tried Legends mode, as I *think* it requires a paid monthly PSN feature, but I may be wrong about that. I should give it a try if it doesn't; the single player game was gorgeous and fun and would probably be a riot as a small band of badasses assaulting big forts.
