  This seems like a problem some FitGirl could solve 🤔

    FitGirl doesn’t make the cracks tho, just repacks them

      NGL it’s the only name that readily comes to mind. I’m not deep into cracked games, since my tastes are for smaller games like We Happy Few and Outer Wilds. Steam launcher works fine for those, I’m just opposed to a launcher and account from every publisher. Rockstar, EA, Sony, and others can kiss my shiney metal ass. If I have to create an account, I’m not interested

      True, but as soon as a crack appears, they are on the case.

  Why does Sony keep doing this?

  • Pyr_Pressure@lemmy.ca ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

    Because Sony is a company and all companies are dicks. Why does anyone ever expect otherwise?

      True.

      I think they were making a pitch for piracy.

  Lol when will John Sony learn? How many days in the office do you think they needed to come up with that harebrained scheme?

  • SirSamuel@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

    It’s simple.

    If the money gained by selling user data is greater than sales lost to piracy because of the required account, it’s a win for the company. They probably figure those countries that can’t create a PSN account are lost sales anyway, so screw em, right?

    Bastards

      It’s blatant aggression against ones’ own customers like this that really makes me want to take a shit.

    I think a lot of people here on social media need a reality check about who is actually participating in the market.

    Most people simply do not care about this stuff, they don’t need to learn, because the outcry of an infinitely small minority doesn’t mean anything to them.

      Funny how the “small minority” meant enough to them to reverse requiring PSN for Helldivers 2

    Their games on PC still seem to be selling pretty well.
