We think the main reason was the amount of countries you couldn't make a PSN account in, locking out a lot of people from playing a game they bought. So honestly, with that in mind, it's probably justified.

Yeah also at one point they claimed this was the plan from day one, but if that was the case why would it have been for sale in countries with no PSN support.

Their terms even stated that a psn account would be optional for PC users, right up until this debacle. Then they quietly changed the wording to "some games may require it"
