- 3: No untagged game spoilers. If the game was recently released or not released at all yet, use the Spoiler tag (the little ⚠️ button) in the body text, and avoid typing spoilers in the title. It should also be avoided to openly talk about major story spoilers, even in old games.

The game said this on launch and made it clear on the steam page. Even if they weren't enforcing it, I think its silly to be upset that they've started. I'd also rather sign into a PSN account and have functioning crossplay than deal with the current state of it.
Edit: oops I thought i had read it was to help crossplay, which hasn't been working well recently. since its for nothing this is fucking stupid
If it was a real requirement they should have geo restricted the sale to countries that are allowed to make PSN accounts. Instead they bait and switched players who have been playing past the normal refund window, and now will have an unplayable game. Also the PSN account has nothing to do with fixing crossplay. Other games have functional crossplay without it. And Sony themselves say on their own website that PSN is not required to play Sony games on PC.
I didn't realize psn wasnt available in some countries that could purchase the game. that is really messed up.
In my experience steam will still give you s refund if the game is rendered literally unplayable
Said it on launch is irrelevant.
It was not a requirement on launch, so stop forcing it on people after you got their money.
