Yep!  And I almost immediately requested a refund.  I really liked the
last one but I do not remember having to register a Playstation
account for the PC version.

Nope, the fourth "God of War" game did not require a PSN account.
Download it on Steam and immediately start playing; that was all that
was necessary.

"Ragnarok" immediately made it onto my "no play" list because of this

But since I found "Ragnarok" to be the inferior of the two games on
the Playstation, I'm not really that upset that I won't be playing it
on PC. "Ragnarok" lacked the compelling story and the pacing was just
awful. It just went on and on and on.

Side note: there was a brief-lived mod on Nexus that allowed you to
play the game without using PSN. It apparently replaced all the PSN
dynamic library files and just launched the game directly, bypassing
that nonsense entirely.

Unfortunately, it was up for less than a day before Nexus removed it.
Partly out of fear from Sony, as it could have been seen as a way to
bypass 'copy protection', and partly -as I understand it- because it
included DLLs from Microsoft's networking stack, which would have
opened Nexus up to copyright violation claims.

But it just shows how unnecessary the whole PSN requirement is, and
how easy it would be for Sony to strip it out. Hopefully the modder
who did the hard work will modify their patch in a way that will make
it more acceptable for Nexus to host. I still wouldn't rush out to buy
GOW:Ragnarok (I just don't think the game is that good) but if I did
get my hands on a copy -through a HumbleChoice bundle, or whatever-
I'd at least be able to play it without jumping through Sony's
ridiculous hoops.
