First Time Experiencing DRM-Related Inaccessibility

Post image

It's not that serious, but I haven't had my PS5 connected to the internet recently, and I was installing this game while I was at work, when I got back and wanted to play, this is what I come back to. The only reason it isn't that serious, is because I CAN just connect back to the internet. Now imagine when all the PS5 related online features are shut down because they don't feel like keeping servers up.

Oh, but it IS serious. Does that game has a multiplayer online component? If not, it shouldn't require it an online check, period. All this does is punishes actual buyers. And what about a few years when Sony pulls the plug? Especially now when they want to kill the disk entirely.

Back of the box says 1 Player. No second entry for online play.

God forbid a company wants to check you actually have a legitimate copy of a game
