From what I see on Reddit, a lot of fans also hate him... it is just a guy that like the stir shits up, it is not good for both the Arrowheads and the fans.

Michiel198924d ago

I think he just got fed up by people's complaining and accidentally spilled the beans

northpaws24d ago

Ya, but unfortunately that's the nature of the job, you can't get emotional, he represents the company.

Skuletor24d ago

That's what happens when you Spitz in the face of your employer and your customers.

XiNatsuDragnel24d ago

Spitz did one good thing for the fans and industry unintentionally lol

gigoran824d ago

You don't have to make an account now, at the cost of someones job. Congratulations. Good work.

CantThinkOfAUsername23d ago

It's not fans' fault. He told people to refund the game and leave a negative review to be heard. A 'hero' for the community? Sure, but that wouldn't slide in any company.

TwoPicklesGood24d ago

It was obvious that was going to happen based on what he did. Nice of him sure but he paid the price.

Aren't you the guy that said Steam's database information is lying about the game being pulled from 170 stores

thorstein21h ago(Edited 21h ago)

No. I am the guy that said an anonymous user made a readout that named 170 territories AND countries total (which is what it said) is where the game was pulled. Not 170 stores. Not 170 countries.

Since, PSN is in 73 countries, and there are 195 countries on Earth, YOUR math still doesn't work.

And Ghost of Tsushima is available in all of them because GoG and Epic Games Store.

I'm this is abit different to the headline. If says that it's just people in Russia and Ukraine experiencing this. Given restrictions mean their can't legally operate in Russia and bns belarus

H91d 2h ago

This is about Russia and Belarus and the war on Ukraine, however I don't know why the ban is happening now? The people in these countries have been using VPN for ages now

Extermin8or3_2h ago

Maybe the shitstorm around the PSN thing drew attention to the matter?

anast1d 2h ago (Edited 1d 2h ago )

People will outsource their thinking to AI, they will give all their information and location to TIKTOK and other social media platforms. They allow Valve to own their entire game collection that they bought. But a PSN account is where they draw the line... (this is for the westerners)

For the non westerners, Sony should let them play games. There's a war and times are tough. People need an outlet.

gold_drake20h ago

if times are tough then the last thing they're gon a buy is a ps5 and games ha

just_looken13h ago

Many out there can not buy the console or its worth more than 2 months rent.

When ever i see america cry about $400 console or $70 games i roll my eyes like a post out there talking about 18 eggs for $7.

Were i am at its $100 games $600+ for console and $10 for 12 eggs

But america is the world now people go oh anywhere out there our prices are the same because i am american.

anast5h ago(Edited 5h ago)

Most are PC gamers, I would assume. It is a Steam/PSN thing. Obviously, the people running for their lives are not gaming, but there are many on the fringes of this stuff that are still having a tough time that have PCs and would like to game.

just_looken13h ago

You do remember they sold this game to 180 countries for months took there money then pulled the game but now if you have the game you can play online but risk a account ban like what happened to these reported users.

Also i know this is shocking news to millions out there sucking trump tit but america is not the only country out there yes 80% of streaming apps are region locked to usa and yes usa can invaded any country with 0 legal action taken against them but the whole tick tok/ai talking that is mainly usa.

Many many people only buy stuff on steam with fake id's to those bs launchers something you can not do with psn and you should not need a psn account for single player games even hell diver's is just a coop/sp game.

Popsicle2h ago(Edited 2h ago)

Wait…there are other countries beside the USA?

As an American, never knew this? In fact, in my school days we only had one country on our map in geography class. 🤔

All problems are relative to a persons specific situation which is why you keep ranting about Americans. Yes my country has problems. A lot of problems and a lot of sins, but we aren’t the only country with problems and sins.

@Popsicle

No use of getting upset. People are randomly born in countries. As far as I know, souls don't line up and choose which stork basket they want to get into. Patriotism is fools gold.
