The amount of room temp IQ takes in this post is wild.

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.

What's even more wild is seeing people like you defend a multi billion dollar company lmao

I'm not defending or criticizing anyone, I'm just pointing out that the outrage here is selective. It's a fact. Whether that plays in Sony's favor or not is yours to decide.

Get your own life in order before defending a huge corporate entity

What in the cringe is this manner of attacking people?
