All PS games are DoA (to me) due to mandatory (completely pointless) PSN linking.

I've had my PS4 pro for years and never had paid PSN, is it required for PS5?

Or just for online play, which I do not care for

They're referring to Sony's stance that all their PC releases should require you to have and sign-in to a PSN account. That's separate to PS+, you don't need to pay a sub.

A lot of publishers include this requirement on their PC releases, regardless of whether they're single-player or multiplayer, and I think a lot of people are fed up with having to have so many different accounts.
