I love this game, but I cannot recommend this game with the recent PSN controversy. The game will soon require a PSN account to play, and the game was sold in places where having a PSN account is impossible, or needlessly difficult. In addition, PSN has a history of data breaches and I do not blame anyone for not wanting to have one.

• The game is still not for sale in the regions it was removed from during this situation. Hopefully this is not permanent.
  
• Players who have bought the game in those regions are still able to play.

Another reason I am changing my review to negative is because of the usage of nProtect for a PvE game. I do not think having some anti-cheat is unwarranted given the globally tracked war aspect, but I believe nProtect is far too intrusive and it is a pain point that prevents me from recommending.

The game itself is good but a review should account for the impact that the game has on its user and I am not happy with the impact of needlessly requiring a third-party account and the invasive usage of nProtect. When both of these issues are remedied I will happily recommend it.
