This is arguably less about us few privileged having to create an account on a shitty platform, just like with ea and ubisoft, but more about people from 175 countries not even being able to buy the game just because Sony doesn't offer their services there even though it's a singleplayer game distributed through Steam like many of their past games.

The Internet was supposed to free us of this antiquated regional bullshit. But companies made the decision to keep erecting picket fences.
