This game was genuinely one of the best I have played in years, the screaming terror of encountering my first bile titan, my first flamer hulk, etc will live with me forever as cherished memories. However despite my enjoyment of this game I cannot give it a positive review at this time due to Sony's greed and inane ability to either ruin anything it touches or shoot itself in the foot when things are going well.

Just hours before this announcement was made Sony applied for a patent that refers to using bio-metric moderation, as we are also coming into the second quarter of the year it's clear that Sony is also doing this to add the large amount of PC players to their PSN numbers for the suits of the company to see number go up.

Half of my friend group will be losing access to this game as Sony only recognizes 69 out of 195 countries, 2/3s of all countries on earth are not recognized and as such cannot make a PSN account without doing two things, using a VPN (against Sony TOS) or registering the account in a country you do not reside (recommended by Sony support but also against TOS), Both of these run the risk of account suspension.

PSN is notorious for data breaches which are hardly ever exposed unless something leaks it's highly likely that if you have a PSN and check a website like haveibeenpwned you have had a large chunk of data exposed in a data breach.

TL;DR
The game is great Sony has decided to ruin that greatness and what little goodwill it had garnered due to greed while dragging Arrowhead down into the depths with it.
