Sony Faces Backlash Over Mandatory PSN Accounts for PC Games

Sony's insistence on PSN account linking for PC games, even single-player titles, has led to significant pushback from the gaming community.

Sony's financial report revealed the PlayStation 5 has reached 65.5 million units, boosting confidence in its gaming segment forecast.
PlayStation Co-CEO Hiroki Totoki acknowledged the failure of the Concord project, resulting in a $200 million loss and the closure of Firewalk Studios.
Totoki emphasized the need for PSN accounts to ensure safety in live service games, despite criticism from PC gamers who see it as unnecessary for single-player titles.
The requirement for PSN accounts on PC games like Horizon Zero Dawn Remastered and God of War Ragnarok has been met with resistance, as these games lack online functionality.
Sony appears to be focused on integrating PC gamers into its ecosystem, aiming to increase PlayStation Network user statistics and engagement.
