So I just popped a copy of Plants vs. Zombies into my PS4, and I'm prompted to create an Origin account to access the online portion of the game.
I'm frustrated, because I don't want an Origin account.
Oh well, I think, I can still play the local split-screen mode. Nope. I need an Origin account to play split-screen local co-op.
I take full responsibility for not researching the game properly, and for naively assuming EA wouldn't make me jump through hoops to play its game. That being said, is this an acceptable move to you guys and gals? Is it just a part of the modern video game industry, or is it something insidious? Or both?
P.S. If there's some workaround to this problem, or if I've misrepresented the situation, please let me know, and I'll amend the OP accordingly.
