The games themselves are still good overall - but they’re forcing that you need a psn account in order to play them. It started with helldiver’s 2, it was wildly popular - then a few months after launch they started forcing that you had to have a connected psn account in order to play even though they said it was optional when it launched.
In Helldiver 2’s case it was optional because it was broke on launch, then they added it in later and folks felt like they were bait n’ switched.
Sony will learn the same lesson the other big companies learned. More hoops = less players. Its not like there’s a shortage of good PC games out there.
They walked it back now, but the damage is done. A lot of people think you need it still, and a lot of people from countries without PSN just can’t play at all
