I was going to get this game. Now I'm not.
Indeed
I was also waiting for a sale, but won't bother now.
You are in one of those 177 countries arent you?
No. I fundamentally disagree with the idea of changing the TOS after sale. That’s some grade A bullshit, and if we had decent consumer protection laws doing that would be illegal without an opportunity for a full refund. It blows my mind how many people seem to be okay with this in general. It’s not the Sony account that’s the issue for me, it’s Sony changing the terms when it clearly was not a requirement at release. Sony isn’t the only one guilty of this, but they are the most recent example.
It was always a requirement. But was temporarily paused due to technical reasons.
Now they are starting to enforce what always was a requirement.
The real fuckup is selling the game in countries where PSN is unavailable.
So no. Hate it as much as you want. But they didn't suddenly change the condition. The condition was always there.
It was optional. Sony's FAQ also changed on May 3.
Do I have to sign in to PSN to play a PlayStation game on PC?
Before May 3 "Signing in to PSN is optional when playing a PlayStation game on PC."
After May 3 "Some PlayStation games may require you to sign in and link an account for PSN."
Sorry for the Reddit link but there's a lot more discussion happening there:

Chill my dude. I was kidding
Doesn't seem targeted at you, they're making a good point
I didn't feel targeted or offended. It was indeed a joke at the possibility of getting a moral freeride because OP was forced to, due to their country being delisted
It was really great, but the constant "balance changes" to remove fun and increase stress really outline to us why military fuckin' loves the game.
They need their ptsd stoked more than they need a good video game.
The balance changes are fine. There's a lot to legitimately criticize here, why bring that up? Playing the game in its own right is amazing fun, in fact, the game being so good is why all of these surrounding problems hurt that much more.
Sorry you didn't like it, maybe you should try something more suitable to your abilities. Turn based maybe?
You say that as if turn-based is not the superior form of game.
Yes.. If you prefer the edge of your enemy dulled. What is real time if not extremely frequent turns? That's why Starcraft is the best game.
Mate, Stephen Hawking was one of the smartest people on the planet, and I bet he preferred turn based over starcraft. Motor skills are not the same as strategic intelligence. Starcraft is a game with a solved meta, which prioritises motor skill over strategy. It's basically football as far as the intellectual difficulty goes.
And I say this as someone whose favourite strategy game is starcraft. Not because I think it's a well designed game, but because the Zerg are sexy and I want to fuck a hydralisk.
