Pretty much all companies (and people) make mistakes. I'd rather reward those that are willing to acknowledge and walk back mistakes than those that don't, especially to show them where they can see that they did the right thing and encourage them to do the right thing next time.

As long as those mistakes didn't result in horrible, life-ending consequences, at least (and I'm sorry, but forcing a PSN sign up is not one of those reasons, it's relatively minor, I just didn't really feel like supporting it since I had plenty of other games to play anyway).

Actually the biggest thing that kept me from buying it (and why I didn't buy it right away) is it seems like it doesn't have a very good single-player mode, and I mostly play games single player now (too many assholes have ruined most multiplayer games). But I've been hearing such good things about it I've been tempted to get it anyway. But the bad news was just enough for me to go "well, maybe not yet."

Also I don't think I've given Ticketmaster any money in years, but I don't go to too many live shows anymore. The couple I have are for the rare U.S. appearances of comedy groups like Letterkenny and Aunty Donna, but even then I want to say those were through AXS and not Ticketmaster, and that doesn't seem to be affiliated with Ticketmaster. It's hard to avoid giving Ticketmaster money unless you never go see any in-person shows, though, which is kind of shitty.

If it makes you feel any better, I ended up refunding the game after an hour and a half. It seems extremely repetitive, and like it would only be fun if you have a regular video game group to play with, which I don't have right now. So they didn't end up getting my money anyway.
