MODERATORS
They should have taken the lumps on release when they couldn't keep up with the demand to play and kept the Sony login requirement. It was there on day one but people couldn't get in to make accounts so they suspended it. That was a mistake if this was going to be mandatory in the end. They also really screwed up by releasing the game in regions that don't have PSN, how did that even happen is the big question I want to know.
On the other hand, waving it and allowing people to play it without the 3rd party requirement also showed it's a crappy requirement that doesn't seem to do much other than annoy people to allow Sony to collect data. Sony also looks like assholes by changing their web page from "login is optional to play Sony titles on PC" to "some games require login."
Disclaimer here, I have a PSN account because I've owned multiple past Sony consoles so I'm not really affected so much, they already lost and sold my data multiple times. For everybody else, I get why they are pissed.
