Up until this point, a PlayStation Network account was not required to play the game on Steam.

      Is the game developer involved or is it just Sony doing Sony there are some things that there are some things that don’t things?

        “this step will help us continue to build a community that you are all proud to be a part of”

        Someone is selling ad data from this, not entirely sure if it’s Sony or dev or both

        The developer is involved. Though it’s pretty obvious that the push for this is from Sony, they are the publisher for the game.

          The developer is involved to the extent that they have to do what Sony says. The CEO of Arrowhead even tweeted that people should email Sony, referring to a Playstations own website where it stated that PSN is optional. Sony then quickly changed their web page to say it’s sometimes required.

          From my point of view this is all Sony.

          Yeah but it seems like they were not expecting this change just based on their responses on social media, and it looks like Sony didn’t even “require it” until just recently. So I just wanted to know.
