Eyeing the Helldivers 2 backlash with a nervous flop sweat, Sucker Punch assures us that Ghost of Tsushima won't need a PSN login for single player [co-op online multiplayer mode still require it] (www.pcgamer.com)

Honestly it's talked about a lot. Isolated to online you would think most people are against these kinds of things but reality is the average player just doesn't care. These companies have the statistics that show how much they're making vs losing and when they take a chance and it sticks all the other companies align with the new money making way. That's how we have gotten to where we are. This HD2 thing will blow over for now but it'll come back in other ways. Likely next time you'll see them just launch the game with the requirement and it won't be stopped as it was this time. The issue this time was they did it after it got ridiculously popular especially with the PC community the community that sticks to being PC instead of consoles so trying to force them won't ever work like that.

We can hate it all we want but sadly we can't out weigh the immense amount of people who don't care.
