Steam does actually tell you on the game’s page of the game requires a 3rd party account to play.

Same thing with Until Dawn. Why do I need a PSN account for a single player game?
Well, at least Steam quickly issued the refund.

I didn’t see it when I bought it. And honestly, a refund is a better protest than not buying it.

I fucking hate that. I bough Forza 4 and needed a Microsoft account to play single player. At least I got my money back.

At least MS account may be slightly more useful (OS, software, school, work). There is literally no reason to have PSN account except exclusives games on PlayStation.

I would never use an account for gaming with school and work of vice versa. Also, Microsoft’s account requirement was the reason I didn’t buy a Series X. The PS5 doesn’t force you to connect to the internet and make one. Although the new models force you to connect to the internet to activate the disc drive for some dumb fucking reason.
