*Sigh* So here we are again. Another publisher meddling with something that, had they simply left it alone would have continued to make them boatloads of cash unabated. Great job Sony! For turning what could have been a Game of the Year candidate into a pariah. You took what goodwill you had earned and burned it. I honestly feel bad for Arrowhead as it's obviously not a decision they would have made. This reeks of corporate interference. Not gonna go into depth on the game itself. We already know it's fantastic but the decision by Sony's greedy (and downright idiotic) suits to hamstring this game with forced PSN account linkage which isn't possible for nearly half the bloody planet leaves me with no other choice but to join the many, many voices decrying them. Make PSN account linkage optional again and this negative review goes away. Or don't, and get continued to be dogpiled by the very community that once praised you.


**UPDATE 2024-05-07**

Well, looks like Sony took the hint that people weren't fans of the forced PSN account linking and very wisely backed off. Hindsight's 20/20 eh you buggers. A great battle has been won but the war very much continues. We can't afford to give the big publishers and developers an inch or they'll take as much as they possibly can. I have now updated my review to positive to reflect the changes made.
