Yes, that's the tradeoff, you accept some amount of bad behavior in exchange for a game you enjoy. I don't think a principled stance like theirs is fun. I think long term consequences are the only way to prevent them from trying to creep things like this in over and over until it finally works.
"The community will not put up with any bullshit, we're safe now."
Installs a rootkit.
Tbf the community has already long accepted the anticheat
What's the bad behaviour we're accepting right now though?
The game was review bombed to hell and back and people stopped playing because of the behaviour. No one accepted it. Sony now doesn't have the account linking they wanted, and people not coming back to the game now punishes the Devs because it's their livelihood too.
You 100% don't have to play the game again, and it's a 100% understandable choice, fuck the corpos. But like... You get to have fun, and you support the Devs that work hard to make the content, without feeding your account data to Sony. My perspective shows little to no downside, even considering what benefits Sony.
There's the bad behaviour we're not accepting right now, like the awful rootkit. This game is basically perfect for me, and for once my friends play it too, but I'm not touching it so long as rootkit crap exists, especially on a cooperative game.
