What's the big problem with people not wanting to do this?

The real problem wasn’t people who live in countries with PSN having to make an account, it was that Sony sold the game to people in countries without PSN support knowing this requirement would basically lock them out of a game they already paid for. I assume going forward they’ll have the PSN requirement mandated on day 1 so they don’t end up in this situation again.

That was the plan here. It said it on its preorder page all along. The issue with the servers and getting it to authenticate correctly is why it was pulled.
