Yup. "think of all the new users psn will have!". No actual benefits, just line go up on graph to make shareholders happy. Most efficient system ๐คก
I'm 100% sure this was a decision made by Sony. Apparently this was intended from the word go but they had technical issues during launch and disabled the PSN requirement 20-30 minutes after launch and are now trying to turn it back on.
