      ​​@@Sphendrana PSN is not safe. It has had a very comprehensive history of being hacked over the years. This results in user's data being stolen by malicious parties. This can lead to issues such as identify theft (which has happened to PSN users back in 2011).
      Also, if a person has like 200 games on steam, then data such as purchase history, their reviews on games, preferences of games, limited bank data used to purchase games on steam, etc will be exposed to third parties incase of a data breach on Sony's end (which is pretty common compared to other companies). Also, even if Sony didn't have frequent data breaches, they would use this user data to sell to other advertisement companies to give its users specialized ads based on their purchasing habits. Any claims about security in relation to this PSN account linking fiasco is a facade to get more data from the steam users and to show a increased userbase for PSN to shareholders.
      "PSN is not available in some regions" is a false statement. It is not available in MOST regions. Out of the 192 countries, only 69 of them have access to PSN. Due to steam's refund policy only allowing 2 hrs of gameplay, people who have spent hard earned money to purchase the game AND participate in ingame purchases to support the developers have been kicked out from the player base and have had their money basically stolen. If PSN was a necessity from the beginning, Sony should not have sold the game in those regions that they don't support. This practice is equivalent to a rug pull and it highly immoral (and perhaps illegal).
      Also, when you went to Sony's website in the faq section, the answer to "do you need a PSN account to play play station games on pc" was a no. Only a couple of hours before the announcement of PSN linking did this faq get edited to "some games may need a PSN account". This is scummy for obvious reasons. People may have reffered to this faq before purchasing the game, so to have it change so recently is an anti consumer move from Sony.
      There are more things i could say about the morality of the situation but imma end it here.

    Also the comment about boring food is completely lost in translation, i think the joke was supposed to be that they ate swedish meatballs, 'Köttbullar', so often that they started calling them 'Tjatbullar' which has a similar pronounciation but roughly translated means nag-balls.
