>You would just lose access to your game after 4 months, how is that a slight inconvenience?

Unless you were physically unable to make a PSN account, this is the exaggeration I fear from such review bombs. And yes, I know PSN supports less countries than Steam, but how many people on the internet really reside in one of those non-supported areas? I would bet it is less than 84,000 people.

>There are probably times when you could make an argument like this, but this isn't one of them.

I don't think it's a good thing to only point out a systematic issue when it's inconviient. That's how these "but it worked here" sorts of issues become abused. I'd rather point out how this snowball is rolling before it becomes a boulder later on, especially when boulders have already formed and gone not nearly as mentioned.

>A company pulled something very anti-consumer,

Pet peeve: "anti-consumer" has lost all meaning. Paying $10 more was "anti consumer", downloading a store of your own preference is "anti-consumer". Now making an account you don't like is "anti-consumer"? You see how this word has gotten diluted in the gaming community, no?

I miss when inconveniences were just that, inconvient. Not a declaration of war for capitalism.
