        That’s the point. There are plenty of other great games that Sony doesn’t control, though. How often do people need to get burned before they learn?

          This was a bait and switch. There was no obvious information that I would be required to make a PSN account when I started playing over a month ago.

            Was it?

            Is it really out of left field when they have you install a rootkit for a game that isn’t competitive?

            Idk, maybe I’m just cynical, but bad business decisions are bad business decisions. I’m not surprised by this in the least.

              Kernel level anti-cheat while I detest it is common. And it’s only common because people cheat. If 30% of gamers as a whole weren’t cheating in PVP games then we wouldn’t be seeing such stupid enforcement attempts in PVE games

                I will simply never accept that a PvE game needs anticheat. The concept is silly.

                This is just bad decision making.

                  As somebody who has administrated PVE PVP and PVPVE game servers, I will unfortunately have to laugh at your uninformed opinion. People are shitty and will cause conflict and grief for the smallest reasons. I do not agree with the implementation of such obtuse software to prevent this in a PVE game. I am merely stating the reason it’s happening. Personally, we would be much better off of a robust report system. It could have even been done so well in lore. “. Due to fellow citizens report of your undemocratic and unpatriotic behavior, you have been assigned to a suicide squad where you will only be interacting with other degenerates of your nature.”

      Because it was a genuinely good game to play with friends. But the party is over now
