Sony learned nothing from the Helldivers 2 shitshow.

    Could be market share. More PSN accounts than Nintendo and Xbox in competition.

    Just to play devil’s advocate here.

    But I’m with you, either selling data or both of these.

      could also just be as simple as getting people’s feet in the door to their marketplace. if you already have an account maybe you’ll be fractionally more likely to buy other stuff in the store. multiply that by a few million or whatever… it’s not nothing.

          Yea. Someone higher up at PlayStation (I forgot who, might have been the CEO) recently said that they believe PC gamers would buy PlayStations to play exclusive sequels to their PC games (like Horizon Forbidden west, which is not yet on PC). Forcing PSN accounts for their games on PC opens the door to getting a PlayStation just a little bit further.
