Honestly I'm more annoyed by the rootkit "anti-cheat" the game uses, than this Sony action.

Exactly. Little/no backlash when the game was announced with these anti-features. It's not even a competitive game. If one of my teammates was cheating I'd probably just laugh.

Not saying I don't think they deserve to be upset, it's just strange when and what they choose to be upset about.

It's easy enough to make a burner email account

Except it is because you have to connect said account to your Steam account.

another one big thing is those of us who care just straight up don't buy the game, and without buying the game we can't leave a negative review, and we moved on and not talked about it anymore.

What happened here is affecting people who have spent money on this game, who can leave review and actually cannot just walk away without having your spent money thrown into the void.
