I don't love the game. I find it somewhat repetitive and boring. But I abstained from making a review because I know it's a good game and that's just my subjective enjoyment. However, forcing players on steam to log into the game with a PSN account months after the game has launched. When purchasing the game these terms where not agreed to.

And to say its for security and safety is an absolute hypocritical joke the play station network has been data breached over ten times.. in the same period steam has not had a single breach just disable cross play with PSN then for those that don't login it can be done this isn't 1985.

We all know why this is done, the developer was likely strong handed into it by Sony so they could get bigger numbers on their dying platform. The game had so much good will from the gaming community, talking about a fall from grace.

EDIT: I would change my review from negative to positive but Arrowhead CEO: "I am not blameless in all of this - it was my decision to disable account linking at launch so that players could play the game. I did not ensure players were aware of the requirement and we didn't talk about it enough. We knew for about 6 months before launch that it would be mandatory for online PS titles" and that say's it all really, I don't enjoy the game subjectively and I'm unwilling to allow that pass. Scummy is the only word for it.

But it is good they walked it back so 'props' for that I guess its unfortunate it had to take this much for that to happen. But lucky for those that enjoy it.
