Comment on EA wants to place in-game ads in its full-price AAA games, again

  Regardless, I was expecting absolutely no change from Sony and quite frankly, still expect to do to a rug pull once people’s attention are elsewhere. Oh look, Microsoft is doing a thing now.

    Corporations being corporations and trying to rip off the customer to make the stockholder happy is a constant thing (unfortunately). “Viva Capitalism!”, and all that.

    But ‘We the People Customers’" ultimately have the control, we control the purse strings. They need the money in our wallets, and we can decide to give them that money or not, based on how they treat us, as customers. They will try to psyop convince you otherwise of that fact, but that fact remains, and holds true.

    Its an endless battle/war, but its a good one to fight for. Then they try something the next time, we push back against it. Again.

  Nothing changed with Helldivers. The game is still blocked in over 100 countries and people who rightfully purchased the game still can not play it. Sure we don’t have to create an account, but that was annoying -not an actual issue. The real issue was thousands of people suddenly losing access to their game because Sony wants conversion.

  Last I heard that problem went away with them backing off of not needing a Playstation account anymore.

  And the fact that they backed off the account requirement is a definate win for us.

    Sony made a social media post. Original date for PsN requirement was June. During the backlash, over 100 countries were delisted. They still are. The current situation is still much worse than launch.

      Don’t think you’re representing the situation accurately.

      The primary goal was to not have to create a Playstation account.

      Sony can always decide where to sell their products, regardless if there’s a controversy, or just any day of the week and for any reason. We could never control where Sony sells their products.

        It’s pretty typical that you’re getting downvoted for not crying 100% gloom about every possible thing.

        I’d love to know how to get a refund. I’ve tried 4 times with different prompts suggested in forums and comments. It is in fact worse and not equal to the state it was in at launch.
