A God of War: Ragnarök mod allows PC players to bypass Sony's controversial PSN login requirement only a few days after release.
Although the creator, Nexus mods user iArtoriasUA, made the mod to strip "the PlayStation PC SDK runtime requirement for God of War Ragnarök" to avoid errors, players have used it to circumvent Sony's PSN policy.
The installation is fairly easy; download the mod from Nexus, copy it into the game's folder, and play.
Although iArtoriasUA made it clear on the mod's page that it's not intended to encourage piracy, it may very well do so inadvertently and bring about Sony's legal team knocking. However, if Sony's decision obstructs the use of a purchased product, is it still piracy?
If not through legal action, and no matter how unplayer-friendly it is, Sony might patch the game to enforce their policy.
The mod works relatively well at the time of writing, but if it gets patched, modders might be in for a long game of cat and mouse.
