Are they adding a PSN Account requirement to a single player game again?
Should be illegal. It’s not, but it should be. Globally.

I still don’t understand how blocking individual EU countries conforms to the EU single market.

Also Sony DOES NOT realize how many of their customer base are penguins living on remote islands, they have been getting slammed with sanctions on penguin tux imports from Italy and now this?!

Sony being retarded again. It much be a day who ends with a y.

Nothing to see here, just Sony doing Sony things. Money burning a hole in your pocket? Go grab a handful of indie games.

Why?
slazer2au@lemmy.world 21 hours ago
Likely PSN requirements. Same thing happened with Helldivers until Sony reversed the decision.
MentalEdge@sopuli.xyz 21 hours ago
Helldivers is still blocked for those countries. They just dropped the PSN requirement.
Yermaw@lemm.ee 13 hours ago
Could you elaborate a little more? Like do those countries not allow subscription services or something?
Only reason i can think of with my rational, non-global-economic brain is that it’s got too much gory/sexual/political/whatever content that isn’t worth the effort censoring.

Honestly why even bother?
It looks like shit.

It’s absolutely fine to put your pirate hat on when they do this kind of thing.
abobla@lemm.ee 22 hours ago
Absolutely. It’s not like the person can even support the studio, it’s blocked in their country.

No DRM exists which can’t be circumvented one way or another.
leftzero@lemmynsfw.com 21 hours ago
… is expensive. And a subscription service.
Which means there’s an incentive for studios to remove it as soon as new sales aren’t bringing enough money for its cost to be worth it.
That’s when you want to pirate (or buy, if you’re into that kind of shit) the game. With the added benefit that it’s unlikely that the studio will come up with more updates or DLC, and if the game is at all moddable it’ll probably have a mature community patch that’ll fix everything the studio was unwilling or unable to patch. (Also, I’m not sure how denuvo cracking works, but I doubt it removes all of that shit, so a game with it properly removed will probably run better than a cracked one, even if the cracked one still ran better than the original infected version.)
