Up until this point, a PlayStation Network account was not required to play the game on Steam.

    People nowadays hate having more than one account. They can’t even bare having more than one exe that launches other exes installed on the same computer anymore

      Needing to run a programm just to launch a different program is stupid. I don’t need a middleman, just let me launch the second program directly.

        Right, so you hate steam too then?

        If you do, I’m more talking about the cognitive dissonance of others that love steam just because it’s the lesser evil of the launchers, but vehemently hate the idea of buying a game on another store front.

          What other value does the so called other launcher provide? Modding sdk? Community forum? Family sharing? Controller remap?

            You can still do all of that stuff without owning the game via steam

            Other than modding via workshop

              Sure, but I specifically ask other launcher. If we are talking no launcher at all then it is a different discussion entirely. If we are talking about not having a launcher, yeah, that is understandable too. But then again, many games have their own launcher and they do not add any value other than for the sake of having one/promoting the publisher

      I would definitely be annoyed but have had to create an account for other games too. Give them an email that isn’t your primary email and a unique password, I don’t see where there is any risk after that.
