    Sony really needs to get their shit together. It seems like they’ve been pissing off all their communities these last couple weeks.

      They might’ve just realized they’re a medium-sized publisher with a hardware business on the side. Or they will be, if every game is on every system. They finally started porting to PC as a rule - because that’s more money from more people. But now they’re stuck in a dilemma between pursuing that money and undermining the concept of consoles. If they fuck this up then the PS7 is a Steam machine.

    I genuinely hope you enjoy all the negative reviews you’re about to receive, Sony.

      No no, you don’t get it, ask the HD2 people, you need to switch your review to positive so they understand that they get a reward when they behave!

      I wouldn’t even bother torrenting that to be honest, I never understood why it got so much praise. It looks like just another mediocre open world action game.

        It seems a little silly to recommend for someone else not to play it when you yourself don’t even know anything specific about it besides that it’s an open world action game.

        I got some recommendations from friends of mine.

        Since I became a dad, my focus on games has shifted massively. Super deep immersive games are now en par with “Get in there, do some busywork with plenty of explosions and quit the game again” types of games. Since you can’t play long sessions or multiple sessions back to back anymore, “mediocre open world” that gets you in and out there fast becomes actually something worthwile since you’re never playing long enough to become tired of the busywork.

      Steam isn’t the one delisting the games, that’s still up to Sony.

      Also creating a PSN account as a citizen of an unsupported country by VPNning or fake addressing your way to it is against terms of service, and can result in your account getting disabled.

      Piracy is unfortunately the best option here by far.

        I see. It’s unfortunate because if those games stayed on those stores, people could make an account in foreign regions without issue. I didn’t need a vpn to make a Japanese psn in Europe, and Sony doesn’t care that I’m playing PS5 games online from my U.S. account in Europe as long as I’m buying my games and network subscription in US$. I haven’t set foot in the states in over 15 years. Sony support even helped me recover my account when my authentication app lost its data once. Just know which address you used, you’re birthday and stuff.

        PC gamers wouldn’t even need to worry about buying their games in native currency or even the online subscription in the first place. Simply make the account and don’t be a dick to bring attention to yourself.

        Either way, yeah. Piracy is the optimal option left to players in those regions.

      the game has fair prices to third world countries, that’s why they have regional restrictions, if sony don’t demanded that shit it would be available
