This may be a dumb question and I'm truly not trying to start fanboy nonsense but can anyone explain why this recent push by Sony is different than having to have an Xbox account for Halo MCC or Epic Games account for something like It Takes Two? Is it those are available in more countries? I'm on board with the hate of this type of crap and Sony deserves it but just curious why these last two releases are different than previous publishers and multi account requirements?

Speaking personally. I had the same reaction. I realized I could sign in using my GitHub account for MCC, which was... weird. Since it was just their normal web/auth page you could click around and do it in that tiny little webview. -_- Ridiculous, but I wasn't going to make a new account to play a single player game. I did nearly refund it out of spite, but didn't.
