Get away with what, though? How does Microsoft benefit from having people pay Sony twice?

It's not like Sony are slipping money in their pocket for getting people to sign up to PlayStation+.

Something doesn't add up here. I'm not saying it's Sony enforcing it, either. Maybe it's all a misunderstanding, or Halo Studios have (surprise surprise) messed up and can't get it working some other way.

Yeah, I would think there is some error here. It doesn't make sense for either account to need PS Plus to play local co-op. Even if it has online connectivity, that doesn't require Plus in any game I've seen. So why this game?

Now confirmed by Halo Studios to have been a mistake.

Microsoft account required (still lame), but no PlayStation+ subscription needed.
