Sony has been getting a lot of heat recently for their insistent belief that you need a PlayStation Network (PSN) account to play a game on Steam, a single-player game at that. Largely, it’s obvious that they just want to gather analytics on their customers, and honestly, they can get stuffed. If you’re already logged into Steam, that should be enough for gamers, and the fact the game is getting review-bombed over this tells you that the sentiment is widespread, leaving the game with a Mixed rating, despite otherwise being a great game.
Of course, PC gamers don’t go down without a fight. A mod has just been released for God of War: Ragnarok that removes its PSN account requirement, sticking it to the man indeed. The modder stripped the PlayStation PC SDK runtime requirement, and what do you know, the game works just fine without it. Shocked Pikachu face.
To get it, you just need to download the mod, copy over the version.dll and PsPCSdk.dll to your game folder, and launch the game, that’s it.
What’s completely bonkers is that Sony has banned God of War in many countries that don’t have PSN access, and of course, the game has already been cracked, having just looked on some popular repack sites, it’s already up with a crack and PSN removed too, so yeah, good freaking job Sony, shot yourself right in the foot, again.
Hopefully, Sony will relent and just remove the PSN requirements, but it’s not likely they’ll backdown too easily.
