      Safe from your privacy of course. How else can they know what are you playing at all times

    Oh look, a boss lying to his customers.

    The CEO explanation is why I haven’t purchased any Sony games since Helldivers 2. The first time they were greedy with customer data was enough to know that one of the most hacked companies in the world isn’t concerned with the safety of others. They want all that juicy usage data and are losing money by not having a team compile the insights and selling it by the first weeks after launch.

    Sony is a parasite.

    Man, God of War Ragnarok was a fun game. Too bad they didn’t want me to pay for it.

      But the dev’s reason for the account requirement will just be “the boss said so”…

    I agree that they should keep games safe from PlayStation accounts.

    I will never buy a playstation product. Even sony I avoid at all costs because of how they run playstation, and I spent 20k on canon camera equipment to avoid their photography equipment, which is arguably better.

    Fuck anyone who forces anyone else to compromise their privacy for the sake of “safety.” Just fuck right off.
