Marvel Tokon: Fighting Souls' launch weekend has been filled with so many PC issues that even famed FGC content creator Maximilian Christiansen (a.k.a. Maximilian Dood) couldn't help but uninstall the game on stream.
I have a lot of respect for Max and have enjoyed his content since before Street Fighter 4. Unfortunately, he immediately went to the PS5 version after uninstalling on Steam, which seems to be Sony’s intent. “Look! See? PC is bad! PS5 is the only way to play Tokon!”
The PC version’s EAC completely prevents the game from running on Linux, locking it out of Steamdeck and Steam Machine.
It requires PlayStation account login, blocking many countries from playing (Really, Sony? Helldivers 2, much?).
The game runs multiple Sony SDK’s in the background that tank performance. And cause desync when playing online.
PS5 players are also disabling crossplay because of the desync when playing with PC opponents, further limiting and alienating the PC playerbase.
Frankly, the PC release comes off as just plain hostile.
