I assume that means they'll ban people who play on PS5 through a VPN. That's not ideal, but that doesn't apply in this situation. In this case, you just have to make a PSN account, then connect it to your copy of Helldivers 2 ONE SINGLE TIME.
If I'm wrong, then that does suck. I'll admit that.
As for the TOS, who fucking gives a shit? "Ohhh nooooooo, they LIED TO US! A corporation LIED to us!"
Yeah, no shit. All companies are going to lie to you. All people who do business with you are going to lie to you. All random people you meet a few times are going to lie to you. All your friends are going to lie to you. All your family is going to lie to you. Everyone you ever love or fuck is going to lie to you. LITERALLY EVERY SINGLE PERSON YOU WILL EVER MEET IS GOING TO LIE TO YOU.
Get that through your head. Or, to put it more bluntly, grow the fuck up.
Knowing that everybody lies, it's TRULY a matter of choosing which lies you're really going to get your nads in a twist about.
Setting aside the people who might have region-based problems, literally every other person can just GIVE SONY A THROWAWAY EMAIL ADDRESS.
Getting Sony to store everyone's worthless email addresses is, if anything, an expense for them. There is no downside, for us.
TAKE THE FUCKING WIN.
You don't know what a Terms of Service is? You'd be breaking it in that case, resulting in a ban. They didn't lie. Its just a shit ass thing to do. Its not a win for anyone. Expect more of this, make 599 million accounts. Enjoy it.
Here's what this comes down to.
I will freely admit that it really does suck for Sony to require people in countries that can't make a PSN account to...just fuck off, I guess?
But I know you WON'T admit that it's fine for everyone ELSE to just make a throwaway account.
For some reason, you consider 120 seconds of typing an email address into a text box and clicking an activation link to be some kind of ridiculous bar to clear. I just don't get it. Give them a throwaway email and get on with your fucking life, goddamn.
Idk how old you are, but that's not why I have a steam account, to make more accounts. Its not. If we're going to do this shit we might as well go back to the wild west of a launcher per game. I'm not making a fake PSN account and getting banned from a game I spent money on and have been playing just fine. That's bullshit.
There's no launcher involved. You make a PSN account ONE TIME, then you LINK THAT ACCOUNT to your fucking game.
No launchers. No extra services. No nothing.
Stop complaining about make-believe shit that only exists inside your own head.
