So I guess you can ease your worries.

So your problem is with the DLL stuff? OK just ignore that and read the rest then
The point is: It's a fucking account creation, we've done that for quite some time now.

Less than with MS.

In the same way I did to create PSN accounts of other countries both in the early PS3 days and today:
just choose one of the available countries in the list that appears when creating an account, and put a city and valid postal code from there.
Other than this it only asks for a name (you can put it there a fictional one), username and birth date.
They never verify if you live there or if you use the account from a different country, etc. They don't even ask for a credit card, your address or anything like that to create an account.
You don't need a VPN: the process of creating an account and link it to the game takes 1 minute.
They don't verify if you play from the country you stated in the account, or if you really are from there. They never did it in decades for PS, so won't make it for PC.

It's just a stupid meme all around. But I thought it was just a joke. Make up your mind man.
Yeah....talk about account creation then.

Are you dumb?Yes, yes. Well done. We can all use a meme generator, dude.
You HAVE TO sign up to a MS account to use Windows nowadays.
You HAVE TO sign up to Steam to buy and play games.
Same with EPIC Store and many others.

Probably you dont play online games? If you play Overwatch,Nba or GTA Online etc.. (You need an account).

Love how you're defending something Sony has done... by comparing them to Microsoft's equally shitty practises.
As for Steam and Epic, yes... you sign up to those to play games on PC.
No one should be cheering when a company demands you sign up to their service months after a game releases.
Because the next time it might be the company you don't like.

They were part of the same breach and investigation. Sony reported PSN April 27 2011, and found that SOE were a part of that same breach May 1 2011 after an investigation. That's not "constantly leaking users info" however you like to slice it. It's like saying you're "constantly getting robbed" because you found out they also took the watch in your drawer too a day after the robbery.

I'm not defending anything, what I'm saying it's normal practice on PC, even on console sometimes. I had to create a Bethesda account to play Doom Eternal on Console. People are being disingenuous with this.

Ha ha! Now comparing Sony's practises to Bethesda. This isn't the stirring defence you think it is.

Yes and in this case you don't even have to use a seperate launcher or use the psn platform itself. Just an account......
All the people bitching now will still be playing after this becomes active. Mark my words!
Hell even on Steam people who say "Uninstalled/ asked for refund" are playing this very moment.
All talk and no walk.
Whining, spineless shits the lot of them.

One last time, I'm not defending anything, for one I am critic of the fact they did it NOW of all times, and not at launch. This was a dumb and shitty move on their part.

I did it last week with the latest Win11 Pro build. Worked like a charm.

Jesus fucking Christ, weren't tou complaining about the DLL replacements and now you're trying to make me believe people will go to the terminal to bypass authentication on Windows? Make up your mind man.

Of course they don't. You said it couldn't be bypassed. I was showing you that it could.
Settle down man
If you think about it, you've learned a thing or two. You're welcome.

You're not in your DLLs but you're all up in your CMD with some shortcuts and obscure commands when trying to get into your new windows machine to avoid that dreaded account sign up. I ask, is it any different?

Yes, I learned you're incoherent and use double standards on a discussion and you're not serious people.

No, not much different at all. Most people are just going to create an account. Simply showing that it could be bypassed. It wasn't meant to be some grand "gotcha".
See above. You are getting bent out of shape over nothing.

Zero file management and testing. Just enter command and execute. Almost as easy as clicking on an icon.
Now imagine the horror of inputting a username and password. That's rocket science in comparison.

Yeah I need to start giving less of a fuck about people complaining about the most useless shit.
oh wow looks like I can see the future.
Instructions on drag and dropping DLLs are just as easy but that wasn't the point really.

Those are a horror because what if they leak again?

I did live through the horror of having my info leaked on that PSN hack a decade ago.
"Oh but steam also got hacked!" The point is the more accounts you have spread through services, the easier it is for you to be a victim of something like that.
But you've signed up for a MS live account no problem what if that leaks? Just create a fake account ffs. Stop trying to make a mountain out of a molehill with fake outrage.
just heard about sea and needing a xbox account for it on ps5 its all bs makes me want to just play the og console they are on and not the ports so i do not have to put in more bs infoSony's Sea of Thieves moment....Topher Nice trojan horse callback...

no surprise here, this game's been a technical nightmare since day 1--so now it's create an account or lose everything on PC? Yeah, not surprised

What time is it?
You limey bastard.
Steam accounts were hacked too. Stop using steam.
Somebody used a PC mod to spread password stealing malware on steam. Stop using PC mods.
You can choose to live like that I guess.

Okay...
Step 1. Click link to account creation.
Step 2. Fill out 10 minutes worth of forms with personal information.
Step 3. Open email to verify.
Step 4. Gain nothing.
Step 5. Lose account information after update.
Step 6. Fail to recover account information because verification questions do not perfectly line up.
Step 7. Spend an evening on the line with customer support.
Step 8. Spend a week waiting for your account to be reinstated.
Step 9. Never buy another Sony game on PC again.

Yes I did but I don't agree with your double standards. Especially as you would lose literally nothing if you put in some fake details for this game in the unlikely event it is hacked.You didn't even read did you?

Step 10. You are so stressed out form the experience you start balding.
Step 11. Your wife leaves you.
Step 12. You have a midlife crisis at 27.
Step 13. To ease the pain you try heroin.
Step 14. Six months later, wrapped up in your new found addiction you die of toxoplasmosis because you stopped emptying the kitty litter for the cat you bought on a whim to try to fill the hole in your heart from your wife leaving you.
