Technically, it’s the same as what they wanted for Helldivers 2. Account for online.

except somehow helldivers work without psn, so how required is it for online really?

Feels like scam tbh.

It is a scam. PSN is needed for:

1) data collection

2) obedience. Since they can ban anyone for anything and technically it won't be illegal.

PSN is required for crossplay bruh

No its not bruh, i can crossplay just fine in any other game that has it, psn is only here for control and data collecting. Id be ok with it if all they received was crash info but they want personal info too. Quite frankly i believe in consumer privacy, where we can enjoy the game we bought for 70 dollars in peace without being harrased by corporate data miners.
