Nah, everyone still loves the game and the studio, so I think it'll be okay. In the future, though, they will be less likely to buy a Sony published game. It was all Sony with this decision, and the studio was publicly upset and in some opposition to what was happening. Personally, I think we need:

1) Data protection laws so it isn't profitable anymore to attach useless accounts to games or make games online-only for a similar reason.

2) Consumer laws so that if a change happened with a digital product that removed a feature or made the product worse in some way that they'd have to offer refunds for users.

Those two things would go a long way in today's digital world. Perhaps there could be an omnibus bill to enshrine these ideas into law, and maybe a few others like net neutrality and dare I say some law to prevent cloud providers from holding your data hostage for extreme outbound transfer fees.
