  "account": "Marvel Tokon: Fighting Souls, a new fighting game from Arc System Works, debuted on Steam with mixed user reviews following its August 6, 2026 release. The game, featuring a roster of heroes and villains including Spider-Man, Doctor Doom, Wolverine, and Iron Man, was met with complaints about technical issues. A significant portion of the 2,561 Steam reviews, 44%, are negative, with the PlayStation Network (PSN) requirements, Linux support, and anti-cheat features drawing the most attention. Many users expressed frustration over the mandatory PSN linking, which blocks the game in over 100 countries and forces players to create and link a PlayStation account. Some even criticized Sony's policy, stating that it's \"Sony PlayStation account bs\" they can't stand. Other issues reported include poor performance, particularly on the Linux platform, with one user describing the game's performance as \"miserable\" and \"embarrassing.\" Despite the technical glitches, some players remain positive, praising the game's fun gameplay and incredible visuals. The studio behind Marvel Tokon acknowledged the performance issues and encouraged players to continue providing feedback to help them improve the game.",
