    This is an odd situation where it went from being skippable to suddenly a requirement.

    Not entirely accurate. It was forced at launch. Then they made it skippable. Now it’s just being required again.

      If people could play without it then it wasn’t required. Especially if the majority of the time the game has been active it hasn’t been. So in the eyes of consumers it wasn’t required. EULAs or whatever is only something companies clutch onto.

          Not everyone buys a game immediately at launch. So doesn’t matter. There were enough people that could as their first play through that game wasn’t even region blocked.
