Won't speak for anyone else but for me it's less that I'm taking Sony's side and more shaking my head from how embarrassing other gamers are acting. Hits the front page of /r/all and it's all these people freaking out, people in this topic making references to comic books, all the review bombing and screams of "HOLD THE LINE FOR DEMOCRACY," etc.
It's not the first time a game has required you to sign up for their own service and it's not going to be the last. The way people are acting online it's like they think they're taking a hardline stance to prevent genocide instead of a company doing what companies always do.
It doesn't help that these fans are also spamming in other communities, mostly just copy and pasting large comments from other people. It's not "oh think of the poor billion dollar company" and more "these people are having meltdowns acting like children cause they were told they can only play with their new toy if they wash their hands first"
Because making someone sign up for a service after purchase is scummy. Especially when it's insecure, and in some places that the game is available, you can't have PSN. This is not a false flag here. People SHOULD unite like this to get big corps to open their ears. Shame that they can't do this for other things, but I'll take what I can get.
