While I know this isn't piracy but it does come under what service the dev/publisher provides and I think Gabe Newells statement on service still rings true today.

"We think there is a fundamental misconception about piracy. Piracy is almost always a service problem and not a pricing problem, If a pirate offers a product anywhere in the world, 24 x 7, purchasable from the convenience of your personal computer, and the legal provider says the product is region-locked, will come to your country 3 months after the US release, and can only be purchased at a brick and mortar store, then the pirate's service is more valuable."

The stupid requirement for a single player only game is hurting the games perception when the game itself is absolutely eff'ing awesome.

So true on both accounts!! Not sure why publishers can't understand this. Instead of forcing people to use a PSN account, why not entice them to make an account? Give free DLC or cosmetics if you make one.
