    Was it in the ads? Nobody ever reads eulas. It’s incredibly impractical to do so. Someone did the math once and it came up to something like 10,000 years worth of reading for the average person’s Eulas combined.

      I don’t remember where, but I remember seeing it when I bought it. (Not in the TOS, who reads those). But I was digging up my old PSN account while it downloaded. I bought it a couple weeks after launch. When the prompt to sign in popped up, I signed in. I didn’t even realize you could skip it but I didn’t mind signing in, I bought the game so I could play with my buddies that are on Playstation. I guess it seemed reasonable, to me, to sign into a PSN account to play with PSN players, i honestlythoughtit was a requirementfor cross-platform. But I don’t play a lot of cross-platform games so I am not familiar with what is normal I guess. Of the fuckery going on in the gaming industry and the internet in general this seemed like small potatoes.

        At least that’s a bit more reasonable warning, but it’s still kinda crap. I think anything that isn’t an MMO or ranked matchmaking should give up the publisher control. I also think that for everything that has ranked matchmaking, there should be a private server option.
