The problem is that the requirement to have an account is in fine print most people would never read. Therefore you might accidentally buy a game without knowing you need it and can't just "not buy the game and move on." I'm fucking sick of having to create an account with every goddamn game company out there to play single player games on a PS5 or on Steam.
I thought it was pretty clear on Steam, there's a highlighted message about it right above the button to purchase the game.
I don't approve of it, but it's not like they're hiding it.
Launch the game, see that it requires a sign in, refund the game because it doesn't have over 2 hours of play time.
I couldn't find that option when I bought this game on PS5 last year or whenever it came out.
