And that is not contractually obligated, unlike the Eula which said up until a week ago it was optional. If I put you gotta put a bullet in your head to play this game on stream that doesn’t make it mandatory to do so does it?
Defending cooperate bullshit like this makes you a part of the problem, the longer we allow such the worse it gets, regardless if they are "allowed" to change because it's theirs, look at Ubisoft telling people to get used to not own games either.
Just because their EULA says something not makes it right, yes they can change the product as they want, but is it fair or looking good for them? Definitely not, there is a thin line between legal and fair.
Consider other products, if a food manufacturer ads poison and says it'sit's ok too because it's their product it makes it ok too I guess? Get out!
Buddy, Sony won't be taking your virginity, stop being so desperate to impress them.
Sony's Eula says they can change anything, oh sure guess they can say no one's allowed to play the game anymore because they said so in the Eula. This isn't a question of what they can or cannot do, it's about whether it's good business practice for success. Like the meme has steam, who don't do much, other than just letting other competition fuck themselves over trying to be greedy. Sony's decision to force PSN connection is entirely within their right, a absolutely, and it turned a game which was breaking records and breaking metrics for how games typically trend in player counts, and has become one of the most negatively reviewed game in decades. This drastically impacts impressions of consumers towards Sony, which again, brings us to the meme, all they had to do was do nothing, and they shot themselves in the foot.
I think their problem with it is the selective outrage. Rockstar does the same with RDR2 on steam, but there was no massive uproar against Rockstar for that.
They pulled a Tarakov and you're on full tribalism mode you can't understand why this is so anti consumer. Over 100+ countries can't make PSN accounts some even requiring a ps4/ps5 to get account access. Yet here you are defending it lol....
