  Okay so THAT makes sense, people for whom a PSN account is simply impossible will not be able to play, THAT is worth being mad about. But we are absolutely not just seeing outrage from players in countries where they CAN’T have a PSN account, we’re seeing outrage from people who could and just don’t want to.

  What I’m trying to understand is why. I get that it’s a greedy data-grab from Sony that is fully not necessary, but also… it’s just not a big ask. They’re not asking for your credit card, they don’t want your social security number, I don’t even think there’s anything keeping you from telling them that your name is “Bofa Deeznutz.” I get wanting to control your data, and I would absolutely suggest a randomly generated super-strong password, but it just seems to me like everyone so angry that they’re quitting just… has a pretty easy fix for that.

  So for MOST of us, it really, really is just having yet another account. The few who genuinely don’t have that option are right to be angry, but for most of us it really just seems like an overreaction.

  Okay so I must be missing something. Could someone explain to me why exactly this, of all things, is getting the nuclear backlash? It’s not like they’re adding a subscription charge or new microtransactions, you just need to have an account.

  I’m sure both players will be really excited about that.

  This isn’t about early access. This is explicitly about Advanced Access, where a special edition grants access to the complete game a few days early.

  This is a closed loophole, not an injustice.

  It seems to me like someone in the PR department decided they needed to “try something new,” and then didn’t actually run the idea by anyone who could say this is a stupid plan. Someone on the community management team got a promotion and thought it was time to make a bold move, and they were absolutely wrong.

  Good job, guys, I’m sure that’ll fix it.

  Fuck. I mean I even liked Starfield but this level of mishandling the public perception is absolutely unreal.
