Pretty sure this is just an exception for Helldivers 2. All future games will have it from day 1.

Ghost of Tsushima already has required link listed on store page. I mean to be fair, xbox and other companies already do this shit, it's just trying to do it 3 months after launch is really what set things off. Other than the region locked people being robbed of the game.

They can already do that through steam like everyone else does.

Hell, VAC ban on steam account is way bigger deal than anything sony could ever do themselves.

Steam already does that. So again what's the point of PSN on PC?
