Ahh, makes sense. More of an anger towards the bait and switch then. I figured this would be the most severe, especially for H2 fans who had already been playing for weeks! Additionally, seems crazy for GoT to have it considering the vast majority is single player.

I wasn't aware you needed a console to create a PSN account in some places, that's nuts.

I'm curious if Sony had properly advertised their account creation requirement much earlier on if people would've accepted. (At least for multiplayer games) I'm some regards, maybe it's better they didn't so gamers could bring this to the forefront more often with publishers in the future.

Appreciate the response!

It's not even that they didn't properly advertise it. It's that they changed the requirements completely. Here's a before and after of one of their FAQ pages:

Ahhh, good find! Yea that's the bait and switch then. I mean I guess I'm callous to publishers requiring accounts within their ecosystem but at least be upfront about it. That's just dirty.
