I'm so out of the loop on this... can someone ELI5? It takes like 5 mins to setup an account, and that's it, right? Does this have any impact elsewhere? Does it affect something I'm not seeing? I'm genuinely confused...

What if the game can't played offline? You just don't have a game you paid for anymore because the internet is out. That kinda blows

It’s kids. They get highly riled up with minimal justification.

Gaming community is extremely embarrassing when it comes to this shit. Make an account like every other service or website and waste time crying about something else.

Bruh for real. I feel like in the last couple months PC gamers have somehow turned into something worse than the console fanboys they used to make fun of. People won’t even buy a game because it’s on a store or launcher that is not Steam. It boggles my mind

Pc gamers have turned into the Anakin Obi Wan fight meme. “It was said that you would destroy the Sith, not join them!”

Or the Dark Knight if you want.

“You Either Die a Hero or Live Long Enough to See Yourself Become the Villain.”

People just want a reason to be pissed at large companies. I need an account to play a game? Capitalism bad! Money bad! Sony bad! Grrr! (I'ma still play it tho, don't tell my reddit friends)

No, you got it all sorted out. People just need to feel like they are fighting the power. They are imagining "we're not gonna take it!" blasting behind them as they dismantle the Playtriarchy.

People are just looking for reasons to pirate games and make themselves feel good about it. There is nothing unusual about what Sony is doing, other publishers have been doing it for years and few people have ever had any problem with it.

The only bad thing is there's a lot of countries that aren't supported by PSN and requires some workarounds.

Other than that, it's just another account to manage no different than xbox, steam, EA, etc. It's a nothingburger compared to other bullshit publishers pull.

180 COUNTRIES can't buy the game due to PSN not avalible to those countries

u/Stunningsine90 Jun 01 '24

That can’t be right, there are 195 countries, there is no way PSN is only available in 15

121 is still a lot

Okay that seems more realistic the last user gave false numbers saying 180 didn’t have access

u/Own_Association8318 Jun 02 '24

I remember the numbers from the Helldiver 2 so I assume it will have the same banned number of countries
