Again, I only bought this game on Steam and

1) the Steam page made it very clear the PSN is required

2) the game makes it extremely clear with a full screen banner that says you MUST sign in to play.

Honestly, if you bought the game on Steam then Sony's FAQ is irrelevant. If you bought it from Sony then I guess there is some case there.

So I guess it's not a great idea to make broad sweeping claims based off your own personal experience.

FYI Buying it through Steam is still buying it from Sony. Steam is just a storefront, Sony is the publisher

Sony's FAQ is absolutely relevant here, and they clearly agreed which is why they changed it
