    What’s stopping you from deleting the game, redownloading it, and setting a new account name? Etc

      I don’t even own the game. Im just saying, if their argument is unique identifiers, there are more ways than a third party solution. It’s not like they don’t have options. They chose this over any other solution. If they did a unique identifier ingame, no one would complain. So the reason they chose this is something else then being the only solution.

        But a unique identifier in game doesn’t actually enforce bans, because what’s stopping someone from creating a new one? VS if you create a PSN account, you need some sort of verification (e.g. email address).

        They could’ve done something similar with a non PSN login, though people would’ve probably still complained. And for them, it’s not 3rd party because it’s published by Sony IIRC, so it’s actually an in house system.

        I also don’t own the game, but I just wanted to point out the reason in their argument isn’t entirely invalid.
