Do. Not. Buy. Sony. Games.

I dunno how many times we have to keep hammerin this one in. If you absolutely must play their latest vapid, designed-by-committee bullshit, at least pirate it.

[–] cm0002@lemmy.world 12 points 1 week ago

least pirate it.

Don't gotta tell me twice lmao

It's a shame really, Sony is one of the last of the prolific single player AAA producers, everyone else seems intent on shoveling multi-player crap out and maybe doing SP as an after thought:(

[–] M137@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

Agreed! Never bought one, but have played most, and have had a great time.

They did it to to Helldivers 2 and now this... Have they done it to any other games after sales were made in those countries?

[–] coi@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 week ago

I don't think they have. Forbidden West was the last game they released that didn't have the restriction (until now apparently) every game since has been locked in all but ~70 countries. I live in one of the non PSN countries. Fuck sony. Don't give them a penny. Play this when it comes out instead

Man, Sony don't know how to not fuck themselves.

[–] Harrk@lemmy.world 10 points 1 week ago (1 children)

it's been region-locked in countries that don't have access to PSN, such as Egypt, the Philippines, and North Korea.

I get the other countries but North Korea?! I’ll be surprised if they even have access to Steam!

[–] Nythos@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 week ago

It would likely be the upper echelon of NK that have access to it if anything.

So much for paying for it!

The exact same bullshit they pulled on Helldivers 2 and all their other recent PC games, for that matter, even the single player ones needing PSN logins and region locks. Don't buy their stuff.
