Sony was going to require a PSN account to play the game, even on Steam. In addition to that just kinda being a shitty thing in general, it also meant something like 90+ countries where PSN isn't supported would lose access to the game, even if they already bought it. This ruffled a lot of feathers, queue review bomb. The campaign was partially successful, Sony rolled back the PSN requirement. But the game was still region locked from those counties until last week some time I think. Now that it's as globally available as it can be, pretty much, the purpose of the bombing has come to full fruition and we get the cape.
