Yesterday, we brought you word of the completely normal one PC gamers were having over God of War Ragnarok's PSN login requirement on Steam, resulting in a spate of review bombing that reduced the game to an overall «mixed» rating. Well, overnight, a mod emerged to do away with that onerous requirement, potentially allowing our PC brethren to enjoy Santa Monica's sequel.
Fittingly, PC Gamer spotted this one and tried it out. It reportedly removes the PSN overlay, allowing players to bypass connecting their Steam account to Sony's service. Of course, users have reported some issues with the mod, and the outlet warns that you should only try it at your own risk.
It's already accrued over 1000 downloads, which is 1/20th of the 20k concurrents playing at the time of writing, a pretty solid start. While this is the first mod we've seen that specifically bypasses Sony's PSN requirements, we would bet good money it won't be the last, especially in single-player titles that will likely follow on PC, such as Marvel's Spider-Man 2 or The Last of Us Part II.
Literally the end of the world
Are you surprised that an anti-PSN mod took even this long to surface? How much do you hate the idea of logging into Sony's service? Grit your teeth and bear it in the comments section below.

I also don’t really think this is something that’s suitable to advertise publicly.
Everyday another article about entitled crying PC gamers. Play it or don't play. Sign in or don't sign in. Nobody cares.
