Up until this point, a PlayStation Network account was not required to play the game on Steam.

    The review chart is hilarious.

    review chart

    Doubt Sony or the developer expected this would happen.

    Edit [May/04, 14h UTC]: Updated chart. More than 70k negative reviews already.

      thanks for sharing the chart! I doubt they Sony takes a hint from this too, but it certainly shows other developers and publishers something about signing contracts with Sony…

        Sony should take the hint. Many of these reviews are from people who can’t even get a PSN account in their country. So Steam is about to be flooded with requests for refunds due to the game not being available to some users. I already asked for a refund because of this.

        It’s unlikely steam will be able to tell people to just pound sand, so Valve will likely step in at some point and then Sony will be in trouble with the platform itself.

        as long as still they make money from it, and people already paid for the game, no they will not.
