Honestly I’m more annoyed by the rootkit “anti-cheat” the game uses, than this Sony action.

Exactly. Little/no backlash when the game was announced with these anti-features. It’s not even a competitive game. If one of my teammates was cheating I’d probably just laugh.

Not saying I don’t think they deserve to be upset, it’s just strange when and what they choose to be upset about.

It’s easy enough to make a burner email account

Except it is because you have to connect said account to your Steam account.
