    Are they adding a PSN Account requirement to a single player game again?

    Should be illegal. It’s not, but it should be. Globally.

    It’s absolutely fine to put your pirate hat on when they do this kind of thing.

      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 given enough time.

            If you’re unhappy about the lack of crackers worth a damn, you could always learn to do it yourself.

              let me just get on that real quick 😂 I’m sure that the lack of people engaged in it doesn’t mean it’s hard or anything.

              man if only it was that easy

                Don’t worry, more people are on it than just Empress. You don’t have to lash out just because you don’t know how to find them. I will save you the trouble of reading my future comments.

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

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

      Likely PSN requirements. Same thing happened with Helldivers until Sony reversed the decision.

        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.

          They are countries that do not have PSN access. As Sony wants to make PSN accounts mandatory on PC, they got in hot water for selling their games in countries where you can’t legally even have a PSN account.

          In response, they blocked sales in all those countries.
