So, are you going to ask for a refund?

I never doubted that. What I don't know if the BC will be hardware or software based, but Nintendo has always gone with the hardware one.

Cuckony really wants to test PC gamers huh. You would think after the Concord flop, they would be doing everything they can to please people to get more sales but alas... It's incredibly stupid to force PSN on single player games.

At least they didn't make the mistake of launching their own PC store. That would have been fun to watch.

I'm past that point with Helldivers 2, but I can already play it anyway.

Any title that demands PSN just refuses to show up on Steam on my end. Basically Sony are saying I don't matter and they flat out do not want my money going forward, which if fine with me I guess?, I wasn't going to buy any of their games that demand I make yet another PSN account, because fuck that. 

See MS gets a slight pass from me because Xbox and it's network are built into the backend of their OS (which I use), but Sony's is literally a non requirement, they just tell us we have to because it benefits them, not us (we have Steam cheevos, Steam overlay, there is virtually no need for a PC user to abandon the better versions of those features of lesser and closed off ones that are primarily tied to a console ecosystem). 

I can guarantee you they'll be paving the way for their own PS store. They have already been laying down foundations like the PSN requirement, PS trophy and overlay systems for their games on Steam. This is the starting shift point. Once that's all laid down, they'll just be a dick and pull a Ubisoft, by siphoning from Steam, demand you use their account and overlay systems, while also selling their own games on the PC PS store, making the typical user go "why buy on Steam, when I could just buy from the PS store and still put up with their account system/overlay?"

Basically Sony are testing two audiences: those that put up with Steam's own systems mixed in with Sony's, and those who are fine with Sony's systems, but don't want Steam's added on top of that (the type of people that typically buy from Ubisoft's client, instead of Steam, and yes those types of ppl exist).
