    I signed into an old PSN account when I first downloaded the game near launch. It is in game. No launcher. I signed in once and forgot about it until right now. Not really a big deal. If your worried about security make some bogus email up and make an account that way. But other than signing in one time it hasn’t been a deal. 🤷‍♂️

      Yeah, I used my old PS3 account. I didn’t even think twice about it. I’m not sure why people are freaking out about it?

        I play with a couple of friends in the Baltics. I have PSN. There is no PSN in the Baltics. So I guess I can’t play with the friends I solely bought this game for.

        Just because it doesn’t affect you doesn’t mean it’s silly to complain about this.

          Can they not create a Playstation account regardless of PSN service availability?

            No because it is not available in their country, and making an account with a region different from your Steam account would have inherent EULA risks.

              Hopefully Sony will see this as the biggest problem and do something about it. I don’t think these people should have been able to spend money on this for it to be taken away, but that’s a storefront issue as well. Steam and Sony will have to make some decisions about this, cause it wasn’t thought out and implemented very well. They should’ve had some stronger safeguards.
