It was always required, there was an issue and they paused it.

Netflix password sharing is technically against TOS and did not enforce it until recently.
You're technically breaking the law for going past the speed limit, but when did you last have to pay a fine for it (caveat: depends on location)?
Sure. What I'm saying is, it's like an Oxycontin salesman convincing you it's not addictive at all.
Just like claiming that logging into PSN as mandatory would be negated by the fact that they told people to skip it in order to play when the game launched? Since you know... their servers were having problems and disabled the check for it?
But to that point. This "mandatory login" isn't in either Sony ToS on the steam store for this game.
Oh okay. Weird as hell still, but that at least makes some sense. TY!
This is also a sad look into the reality of how people buy stuff. Every single one of those complaints didn’t read the requirements. How many buy the game and can’t even run the thing as well…
The weirdest part is how the game was sold in tons of regions where you can't even make a PSN account. That sounds refund worthy, at least, if not a class-action lawsuit in the making.
Yeah I feel like people also forget you can still return games out of the two hour window for legit reasons. Would be a bad look for Steam to deny those refunds at least.
