i Bought this game on 1 March where it was not black and white clear that the PSN account is mandatory to begin with.
i buy this on steam to have fun without much concerns when it just boot up and playable without bothering about PSN accounts, while the game does, and we tolerated the countless issue and crashes for the last 3 months and still suffers from it time to time.

not once. where it was stated in game it was mandatory to have a PSN account to begin with playing and the so called EULA screen where there was a button to skip already implied to us it was not necessary to always need one to use the product. be it was the intention to ensure crossplay and the "security" of the Console players, this is not a proper execution plan other than buffing their PSN account numbers to appease Sony shareholders. Arrowhead as developer did their job well, sadly they picked a black company to be their publisher for this.

and a reminder for all the people still think just creating a PSN account isn't a big deal. remember 2 things: you can get insta-banned on PSN even if you were from the only 69 countries available to use PSN (namely china, which is restricted service, see Twitter for already circulating Screenshots case where the owner PSN is banned on the spot https://twitter.com/Helldiversmedia/status/1786449171127615877 ). and those outside of the 69 countries that is not listed on PSN, the moment you use VPN to do the registration itself, already risk breaking TOS and are eligible to be banned on the spot as well. consider your money and time carefully.
