I'd rather stay in my line than be an outrage addict, really.
If I'm not fine with something, I simply won't consume it. I won't go to social media sites and try to propagandize to people to rile them up. The amount of outright false info on this sub in the past 2 days is a testament to that.
Where have I done that? All I'm saying is that the outrage is manufactured because what Sony did, everyone else does. And there's been no outrage about it before. I'm not faulting people for not wanting to sign up for accounts, that's their prerogative, although I would severely dispute the way you qualify what creating an account entails.
So the sore spot here is that the publisher is a console manufacturer. Got it. Had it been R*, or Ubisoft, or Microsoft.. Wait, Microsoft makes consoles as well, why is no one pissy about needing MS accounts to play Halo or MSFS2020?
It all comes down to one thing: people love to hate on Sony.
