<-- html site and distro hop (again) Test post--> Singleplayer video games with required login's: Why do game publishers feel the need to require people to sign in to their systems just to play and OFFLINE, single player game?
It seems Spiderman 2 will require you to login to PSN in order to play, I don't have a PSN account, nor to I plan on creating a playstation account specifically so I can play an offline game.
Ubisoft has been doing this for years, though at least they allow anyone to sign up, PSN is only available in certain countries, so they could just retract access in your country from PSN and you wouldn't be able to play spiderman 2?
Really irritating.
I really hope this trend will die, but I have a feeling that it will not as no one seems to care.
Rant over.
