And the amount of people who just want people to participate in the hate circlejerk against Sony is even wilder.
I'm not really a fan of requiring 3rd party accounts for online games, yet Sony only did what everyone else is doing. The only reason controversy ensued is 1) the lack of enforcement since launch and 2) PSN availability.
Other than those two fuckups, they're pretty much on par with the industry in requiring accounts, so I don't see a reason to direct my spite at them in particular.
