So I might be out of the loop. But I was curious to buy this game. So I wonder, what is the actual 'official' reason/benefit of linking to PSN? And would this introduce another launcher on PC? That would be a no go then as a launcher is usually the first thing that fucks up on proton/remote play. Although I assume there already is a launcher..
The 'official' reason, as I recall reading it, is increasing security for players. Link to the announcement.
Personally I think that's a load of hooey.
FWIW this won't involve a new launcher, to my knowledge.
Ah yes, the Sony 'security'. Too bad then. I still remember the rootkits they installed with music cd's. I've yet to buy anything Sony since then.. Guess I'll continue doing that.
Thanks for the clarification.
Happy I could help, sorry to hear bad news.
