There is a gradual decline going on, I guess now it’s a case of whether it accelerates or not from here and where the player pop will eventually level out.
What the white knights hope you don't know is that the changes come into force in a month's time, not immediately.
Plenty are still under the delusion that Sony will reverse the change, and others are just enjoying the game while they still can
They haven't implemented the change yet, it's in 3 days. The game will still maintain most of its console player count obviously but I'd expect the PC player count to decrease dramatically. All that being said, it's really sad to see a great game die like this so early on. I'll bet Sony will also clear out a good portion of the dev team. I've seen this happen multiple times when I worked for a corporation. >game does great >rake in money >publisher tries to weasel in and get more money >game dies hard because of this >corporate blame the lowest on the totem pole because there's no possible way they could be the ones in the wrong >fire half the staff
It's just really infuriating and at this point even if they magically decide not to require a linked PSN account, the damage has already been done.
This just shows how much sony is despised
when they step away from their walled garden with no dissent allowed into the real world where people are free what people think of them is revealed
frick sony
Nothing is going to happen to it, Steam wont issue refunds because we didn't read the obvious "Incorporates 3rd-party DRM: nProtect GameGuard
Requires 3rd-Party Account: PlayStation Network (Supports Linking to Steam Account) " when buying. and 95% of all those who b***hed and moaned are going to get psn to play the game.
Bothered? no, annoyed? yes
I fricking work with tech all day long for my job, you know what that has taught me in 15 years of working the field? We are way to fricking connected to these stupid fricking things, way more then we actually need to. So im annoyed that i have to have ANOTHER fricking account for my data to be sent around the globe with.
Frick off, no reason to have this, no reason to need this, its pointless shit, stop defending it.
>Could
You are right i could have
But do i actually need to? no, i dont need to because i have not needed to for the last 3 months the game has been out, so im not going to. Sony can suck the fattest bag of dicks on this one.
You could've created an account in the time it took to type this repy
I've chosen to believe that no one is actually moronic enough to think this way. This is sponsored content, so just mentally filter out him and his ilk like you should with all shills. I use the internet to talk with fellow human beings, not soulless slaves - or even worse: Indians.
There is zero substance in your reply because nobody is capable of explaining why this is a game ruining experience that isnt their own fault for not reading the requirements, or ignoring them. Its not even a rake, but you ran into it like one and you b***h about it like it attacked you.
>player count stays the same
wow it's fricking nothing
There is a gradual decline going on, I guess now it’s a case of whether it accelerates or not from here and where the player pop will eventually level out.
looks normal to me
That's because you're clinically moronic.
>people playing in the african congo with no infrastructure can no longer play

Such is life
Reminder these people don't even play video games they just look at steam. Literally ruining this board talking about steam reviews and numbers.
Good on my end.
I don't see any problems.
nobody plays the game on ps5.
thats why snoy wants those sweet psn accounts for pc players
>MFW I'm still not making a PSN account for PC no matter how much snoys beg, plead and screech
Anyone who is seriously bothered by this needs to go the frick outside. Step away from the computer. Go for a walk. Call your mother. Feed some ducks.
