One thing that immensely frustrates me about this is we don’t get this reaction from Ubisoft where an account is required to play pretty much all their games. Nor Activision with Call of Duty.

It’s not great that Sony is doing this, but at the same time the horse has already left the barn and people are just jumping on the rage bandwagon.

I’m not saying don’t be mad at Sony, but can we get this outrage at the other companies too?

This is a single player game that wants me to log in. I won't buy something like that, irrespective of what company it's from.

[–] wise_pancake@lemmy.ca 7 points 3 months ago

Fair, that’s why I don’t buy anything Ubisoft like Assassin’s Creed.

Those are multiplayer games. Totally different.

People had the same reaction, but it was long enough ago to be forgotten old news.

But this implies same people are also buying those games. Which they might not even be into.

GTA, cod and ubisoft games are polarising.

But there's a massive crowd who likes single player games. Especially ones that are meant to be good.

Call of Duty uses it for crossplay. Totally different.
