A change like this may warrant special exceptions to the refund rules. They’ve made exceptions for similar changes to games made after launch.

This feature doesn’t affect me personally, but it is still very scummy to add it after launch. Long after refund window is out of the question.

It wasn’t added after lunch. You could bypass it. Now they are changing that.

That’s true. Personally though, it not being optional for any amount of time just shows that there’s no good argument to have it be mandatory in the first place.

By feature I just mean it being mandatory now

Well, it affects me in that now I know not to buy this game and support such a scummy practice.

Is the game developer involved or is it just Sony doing Sony there are some things that there are some things that don’t things?

Someone is selling ad data from this, not entirely sure if it’s Sony or dev or both

The developer is involved. Though it’s pretty obvious that the push for this is from Sony, they are the publisher for the game.

The developer is involved to the extent that they have to do what Sony says. The CEO if Arrowhead even tweeted that people should email Sony referring to a Playstations own website where it stated that PSN is optional. Sony then quickly changed their web page to say it’s sometimes required.
From my point of view this is all Sony.

Yeah but it seems like they were not expecting this change just based on their responses on social media, and it looks like Sony didn’t even “require it” until just recently. So I just wanted to know.
