RxBrad comments on God of War Ragnarok Steam reviews are ‘mixed’ right now, as players criticize the PC version due to account linking, just like Helldivers 2.

You really think GTA6 won't have a single player component? And that it won't require a Rockstar account/launcher?

Gta6 isn't singleplayer only, do you really need it spelled out for you?

Multi-player games can use being a multi-player game as an excuse for "needing" a launcher.

An always offline, single player game, where no one will ever see or touch your progress, does NOT need a launcher, and realistically should and could be sold on GoG with no DRM.

The only way to change this pattern is by getting mad, and not buying games that add a launcher to a single player game. (Helldivers was different because they added it as a forced requirement months after release. Even though it had been proven it was not neccessary)

You see, there's the thing. Sony is not requiring any sort of launcher. It's an account.

"But mah privacy!"

Again, no launcher. What exactly are they going to track? That you're playing their game?

Launcher, just an email, doesn't matter. There is absolutely no reason to have it in the game, and I'm very happy we are starting the trend of saying "Fuck you, no."
