Fucking exactly. Unless the offer the game free of charge for those that have already bought it on ps, there is no reason to have a second account for every other game.
The other games that have had this requirement at least had some kind of store/online function somewhere. AFAIK, GOW:R doesn’t have any online functions. What in the hell is the account even for?
FYI, you can use the same account, you don’t need two.
I own ghost of tsushima on ps4, and logged into my PSN account for it on PC because I was curious how it would work. The PC version shows up in your trophies as a totally separate game ‘ghost of tsushima PC’ so they don’t blend.
But the point still stands, there’s no good reason for a PSN requirement for this game.
As much as I hate more tracking and stuff, would they allow me to use my existing PSN account from back when I picked up a console or two for some exclusives?
Real small at the bottom right. " Account for Playstation Network required." At least they listed it on the requirements, technically.
Guess I won’t meet the minimum requirements then. Oh well. Plenty of other games on my backlog.

For Sony to fuck you over if you can’t sign into it to play your single player game that paid $70 for.
Also so they can sell the data of yours they don’t already have.

Note that because of this, it is not going to be sold in any regions that don’t officially have PSN

It’s the same account
Yes, absolutely. If you made a PlayStation account back then, the same account will work. You don’t need 2.
