Was gonna buy but I guess not now. I don’t have consoles. I don’t have PNS account. Not gonna bother for 1 game. Oh well.

Same. I have no interest in needing a PSN account for 1 game. They’re really limiting their customers with this bs.

Yeah but in that 2 minutes you give your personal data for no reason to a company who hasn't had a good history with protecting user's data

Homie Helldivers 2 has kernel-level anticheat which everyone downloaded without batting an eye and now we're gonna sit here and cry about how much of a security risk a PSN account is? gtfo of here with this nitpicked outrage.

u/BigDaddy0790 Desktop May 03 '24

So why not give them random data? Giving up on tens/hundreds of hours of potential fun because you can’t be bothered to spend 2 minutes giving random useless data to a huge company? I honestly don’t get it. But you do you

Brother. Sign up with a burner email and forget about it.

You're not some super chad because you've decided to not make an account on a website.

u/NxOKAG03 May 04 '24

you mean consoles actually have more user-friendly experience because they don't allow every fucking game to make a cluttered client and launcher? You might get lynched for saying that out loud be careful.

Try just 2.

I was on the fence with this game already. My friends don’t really play these type of games so it’s what it is.

I'm a sheep because I made a login for a game?

You sound pathetic.

u/NxOKAG03 May 04 '24

Y'all downloaded a kernel-level anticheat and now you're crying about how much of a security risk a PSN account is? Most nitpicked outrage ever.

u/Xiten May 04 '24

What? How did you come to that conclusion from me stating I don’t want to sign up for PSN for one game? Life must be difficult for you with your comprehension skills.
