Some PlayStation gamers at the moment are petitioning for PS4, PS5 trophies to drop multiplayer requirement for the Platinum trophy in some video games. Final month, a preferred Reddit thread highlighted the plight of devoted trophy hunters who’ve been stating examples of single-player video games with tacked on multiplayer trophies that always find yourself locking them out of the coveted Platinum. Now, they’re demanding motion.
PS4 and PS5 trophies shouldn’t be paywalled, gamers argue
Server closures impacting trophies apart, gamers say that multiplayer trophies in video games which might be primarily single-player are a nasty concept as a result of they’re primarily paywalled. With PS Plus being a requirement for multiplayer, those that wish to Platinum single-player video games are caught having to buy a subscription ought to the sport require taking part in on-line for even a single trophy.
“In fact, multiplayer video games like Name of Responsibility and Battlefield will all the time have multiplayer trophies,” reads the Change.org petition (through Reddit) that’ll most likely go nowhere. “Nevertheless, in video games which might be largely offline oriented, like The Final of Us or Uncharted 4, multiplayer trophies ought to exist in a parallel approach the place they don’t have an effect on the platinum trophy.”
I hate to say it; Sony’s unlikely to see the petition however the effort to get its consideration is commendable.
