EDIT: Playstation realized they angered the internet and reversed their decision. The next paragraphs no longer apply and the review has been changed to be positive... Tentatively, since there are still major bugs in the game.

I don't write reviews often. This? This is something I'll write a review about.

Sure, the TOS did state that a PSN account was going to be required, but for the game to be sold in countries that can't even make a PSN account? That's completely ridiculous.

The fact that we weren't required to make one when we first played the game was awesome and made me really like the direction they were taking with the game. But time and time again, more bugs have cropped up without them being fixed, up to and including full crashes with no easy way to get back into the same mission with the same people you were playing with. It made me slowly stop playing the game. Now with this recent requirement of a PSN account?

I'm done. Secure the sale, then extract as much value as you can from your customer. That mentality is evil, plain and simple. I refuse to support it.
