I already got a refund. It's too late for Sony. I'm never going to support scummy moves like this again.
Sony launched the game globally, and it was purchased by people on Steam. Sony mandated linking the game to a PSN account months later, then proceeded to delist the game from over 100 countries, thereby revoking gamers' access. Next Level Scam.
At least Microsoft doesn't revoke access to games you've already bought. Consider a scenario where Helldivers 2 is released globally on Steam, then it mandates a PSN account and removes the game from 177 countries, thereby blocking your ability to play. Such a tactic could easily be seen as a scheme for making quick money. If an individual were to do this, they would likely face numerous lawsuits from all directions.
You can purchase Helldivers 2 from all over the globe, but you can only play it if you're in one of Sony's 69 approved countries.
Edit: Apparently, Sony has delisted the game in 177 countries.
It's not really review bombing, is it, though? Sony has now delisted Helldivers 2 from being purchased on Steam in 177 countries. It also seems that at least some people in those countries who have already purchased the game can no longer play it.
Imagine paying for online Multiplayer in 2024.
Why couldn't these developers just switch it to peer-to-peer servers?
It's fake. There's no factual evidence other than his own made up specs.
No you didn't
The time is ticking: Tick-Tock
This is Make or Break for PlayStation.
Congratulations Microsoft
Say that to Vin Diesel's face?
"So basically when Game Pass is on everything we are all slaves to the Cloud and Microsoft control everyone's device?"
No. More options are better for the competition. Google has now lowered the Play Store fees for Android from 30% to 15% due to competitive pressure from alternative app stores such as the Epic Store, which is set to release this year for Android.
Imo, it's just cheaper getting a PC; at least you can change the GPU every console or Mid generation. You don't have to worry about purchasing Xbox Game Pass Core or PS Plus every year, which could go towards a new and improved CPU.
Disclaimer: It's always cheaper purchasing the entire Ubisoft Game Edition when they're on sale.
Ultrawide is already supported.
"Get a view of even more of the action with support for Ultrawide (21:9), Super Ultrawide (32:9) and even 48:9 Triple Monitor support."

Awesome. Now bring over Gran Turismo 7 to PC.
In other words, he says: 'Naughty Dogs has ran out of ideas'
PlayStation employed 8,000 people as of August 2023, which meant that 11.25% (900) of the employees had been laid off.
Did you not read the description?
