Hate is just love getting all twisted up. You can’t get this kind of negativity from something that’s always been awful, it has to be deeply loved first in order for the hate to properly flow.
This is beautiful. I hate it.
Ah yes
PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds Battlegrounds
I hate that they renamed it to this.
This is why I mostly play games from yesteryear. You start it up and play. No nonsense.
Until they retroactively add a launcher like BioShock 1, 2007 game getting a launcher added in 2023. Luckily that one’s not DRM and can be circumvented,
unlike Monster Hunter World getting DRM 6 years after release breaking it on some platforms.Seems like only Monster Hunter Rise got the new DRM that broke Steam Deck support for a few days.Source on Monster Hunter World DRM? It’s not listed on the stream page.
It seems like I was wrong about that, there was a lot of misinformation online and apparently MHW never had enigma drm added. Sorry about that.
It beat out ow2. Impressive.
Not in rating though, I didn’t know they fell so low - 18% !
Notice how much lower numbers are for OW2 tho. Its so unpopular less people are even bothering to review it.
That war thunder 62% should be way lower but Gaijin got Valve to remove a ton of their reviews for “spam”
Eh, war thunder did make some neat changes after that protest.
What other games require an arbitrary extra account just to play? I know Ubisoft does it. How about EA or Epic?
Epic did it to fallguys a ~year after the game came out
SquEnix does for a lot of their newer games. WB requires one for Multiversus, which that one requires your fucking address for some damn reason?!
And yeah, most F2P and MMOs require one. I don’t even remember mine for SWTOR.
Most of the F2P games.
hopefully this is the kick in the ass that sony needs to learn that bait and switches are universally hated by customers.
People are fucking babies. I bought this on PS5 and it was so good I got it on Steam for my son. It asked me to sync to my PSN and I did. If we didn’t live somewhere that had PSN, that would be different. But those who do, who gives a flying fuck that you have to have a free PSN account….
Good for you, your circumstances lined up in such a way as for you to already have a PSN account through the console you own. But the issues you are ignoring are as follows:
-
it is predatory to impose such a major change (and, yes, it is major) on people AFTER they have purchased the game. The ease of creating a PSN account is an utterly moot point, a paying customer should not be forced to suffer changes to a thing they, supposedly, already owned, let alone a change which basically reduces the options to “you either give us your information, or you don’t play the game ON WHICH YOU ALREADY SPENT MONEY.”
-
the more accounts you have nowadays, the more your personal data is sold around. In addition, it’s a clear demonstration of encroachment by corporations who really should have no business forcing you to sign up to their shitty platforms.
-
it’s an extra layer of DRM, and DRM is exclusively a bad thing however you cut it (DRM means you don’t actually own the thing you friggin’ bought).
-
fuck Sony and their atrocious greed. Pure and simple.
You forget their inability to guard personal data. It’s like telling your secrets to the town blabbermouth.
Or using lastpass. The only thing they needed to do was keep your passwords safe. And it happened so often its almost a meme. I dont even know why They’re still in business
And for so many people there isn’t even a choice. They bought the game, and now they can’t play it, because no PSN in their country.
And even for some countries with access to PSN, creating an account requires photo-id and a face scan. That’s complete bullshit.
-
“It’s not a problem until it happens to me.”
It looks like c/conservative is leaking again.
You seem pretty simple-minded
mayb you will think differently when next time you get locked out for no reason
For some people it is a privacy issue for others extra work.
Sony seems like the babies to me blundering a nice surprise success and good will from the community with an unnecessary change. It’s more their issue than mine. I just lose out on a game. Them on the other hand have PR to work out and potential consequences for employees. All for a change that didn’t need to happen. Stupid business decision.
This gives me a sense of pride and accomplishment.
And yet still in top ten sales per day. Last I checked was sixth for paid games. In the end most will just keep playing and do as the company tells them to do.
FAFO
Goddammit I want this game to succeed without this bullshit. I cannot compete PvP but I can throw my ass into the fodder mill against some bots.
Now…I dunno…shit.
