Steams. You can disable game sharing on steam so if a game is blocked on a steam ID you can't simply use another account.
It's a collection of all of them not a single one which are still used to some degree.
Giving you no cross platform ban function on a cross platform game.
Which are used on top of a robust cross platform account system as they are of no use otherwise.
Game runs well without any PSN requirement for three months, suddenly it's a requirement and the game gets delisted from a ton of countries.
All things that Sony didn't have to do.
But sure, people are just whining.

I suppose Sony can put out a statement that it is the consumer's fault for having the games delisted
You don't understand how API to ban players can be used to ban players?
which would be useless anyway cause again, You can disable game sharing on steam but not on PS5 so you could just have infinite throwaway accounts on console which can be prevented on steam.
Brilliant move, Sony.
They own a gaming machine with Sonys logo on it on which they spend hundreds of dollars for games and subs, so they can't possibly criticise them anymore, lest they find an entirely different corporation to self-identify with.
I mean I own Apple products but I still hate 90 percent of the company's decisions
I don't care what Sony thinks.
*I* think it's the consumers' fault for me not being able to buy it anymore.
This is why you don't trust Corporations because no matter what, they are soulless snakes that will turn around and bite your ass when you least expect it.
I suppose not being able to buy the game in my country anymore, that worked perfectly, is the better alternative?
Sony fucked big time, it's just incredible how it destroyed the good reputation of the game.
I don't play on PC but I completely understand the initial dissatisfaction, even if it was exaggerated here and there but now, many countries don't have access to the game, which is a big shame.
Forcing something like this several months after the release of a game and then causing such a fiasco...
Sony has been making some really shitty moves for a while now, I hope it'll change soon.

I mean sure. But how did *I* arrive at that conclusion lol. Idk this is a pretty clear cut situation the likes of which we don't see often
One of the biggest feel good games of the year, a masterclass in PR turned into this because Sony wanted that data.
And all they had to do is make it optional but give everybody logging in with a PSN account like 600 war bonds.
I feel really bad for Arrowhead

It's great that you're right. I hope you don't continue to be right some more and I lose access to even more games.

Why haven't you already brought it then? I am a little confused, like if you care so much shouldn't you already have the game? Or do you mean that you want to buy it again?
Give them credits + a unique, stylish skin and people would've signed up asap.
Marketing is hard. :""")
Generational fumble???
Even if they backpedal, I think they've already lost all the goodwill they gained during the launch and in these past months.

Wtf is that? I am still finishing FFVII Rebirth and was going to get it after I'm done for my PC. And why the fuck am I explaining my buying decisions to you?
Ironically, I can still buy it on PSN.
I still don't understand where you're getting the notion that consumers made this decision for Sony lol. We need to hold corporations accountable regardless of how much we may love them or their brand
There are literally games that do this for this exact reason.
This is the flag they can use to do this and most of the time you can view it in steamdb.
Above example is for Hunt: Showdown which does it.
I'm sorry, but in what world could you look at that post and think I'm "mad"? I mean, I'm mad now because of that deranged take, sure.
Even if you think the people complaining are whiners, why would this be their fault. You literally have to violate the TOS just to play the game if your country cannot make a PSN account.

No, as in you cannot create infinite PSN accounts linked by family sharing to avoid bans.
Of course you can't.
Yeah, you just give 1000 supercredits for linking and people wold have made the account ASAP.
aparently they had a free cosmetic planned but that got axed amist the outrage.
Requiring PSN is the foot in the door for the multiplayer requirement of PS+ for when sony fully supports pc in the near/distant future.
It's like RIGHT THERE
You put out a cute statement like "Every citizen proving their loyalty to Democracy by logging in with their Superearth ONlYfans account (name still pending PR approval) will receive additional provisions this month" and bäm. Everybody would be happy "wow, how generous, how nice"
And now it's this.
Just insane. Really a great start to Sony's GAAS era.
Not long ago people were getting team killed for wearing a stupid cape that they gave out for free, no way they would do this now, even if they did, no way anyone would use it lol
If you have the game on disc or on your secondary account set as home (primary) on your console, You can play the game on any account logged into your console.
Your biggest point is that the dev is to blame for protecting their reputation from a decision forced on them by their publisher
Good start. Now direct that outrage to the literal only party in this situation who can change anything
Not online you can't, which is why you keep bringing up irrelevancies or APIs you don't understand in a discussion about abuse and cheating detection in an online game.
I mean clearly you do cus you're blaming consumers over the entity that literally made the call lol
I mean you litterally are arguing about who's to blame. So you clearly do.
You are absolutely incorrect. If you read my post again my biggest point was that this whole thing is overblown.
