What is wrong with protesting ridiculous anti consumer practices? What is the point of requiring a mandatory 3rd party account to play a SINGLE player game? Or crappy launchers that do absolutely nothing except prolonging the start of the game?
99.9% of gamers do not even have a firewall, and they don't care that their usage stats are shoveled out of their PC by the truckloads.
I don't get the argument of the risk though: by adding a PSN account requirement, all you bring is bad press with 0 added value. On top of that, you do that for a game that was already released years ago, sold well and was well liked. It's not exactly a major risk to expand it to the PC platform.
I just hope that one day it becomes illegal for companies to add unnecessary requirements like that.
