For now… 🖕🏽 They worded that so weasely, they’re just waiting for the storm to pass and for Legal to come up with some compelling reason why they’re totally “obligated” to make it happen, “hands tied” “so sorry” and all that.

Fuck Sony. They made this SOP way back when, and there’s no way they let this stop them forever. It’s all about profit, not what “we” want.

get a PSN account or install this rootkit …

On that note: a neat talk about owning your devices. Brought to you by the ccc. Check their platform for more important content.

Kelly,

Did Sony let the devs take the heat and then make the “everything is OK” announcement themselves? Such heroes…

Bullying works!

*I realized this might come off as judgemental of the people protesting. I’m 100% behind the users here. Bully the rich 24/7.

haui_lemmy,

We should employ this more often. Studies show that school bullies are more success later in life. So we might wanna take a pro bullying stance for select groups. ;)

SynopsisTantilize,

Lol out of context this is so wrong. I for one hope my son becomes the primary school bully. It will look great on a resume.

haui_lemmy,

Hahaha context matters!

I’m also going to take into consideration that Sony reversed course along with the fact that they tried this to begin with.

Same with trying to shut down the PS3 and Vita stores and reversing that.

Console corp ‘learning’ about PC users. 🗿

BruceTwarzen,

Xbox users starring at full page ads on their console like 😐

EncryptKeeper,

That’s in reference to Sony only recently porting many of their published games to PC.

sugar_in_your_tea,

Yet for some reason EA, Ubisoft, and others get away with forcing a login… We should riot each and every time anyone pulls something like this.

Cyberspark,

Well it was more that they sold the game in countries psn isn’t supported in, waited exactly 3 months (a common limit on sales laws) and then tried to screw all those people over.

Wait, what happened to all the delisted countries?

nokturne213,

Those were countries where psn is unavailable.

@all-knight-party@kbin.run avatar

I know that, I mean, will they now be relisted for sale there, or remain delisted? The latter would be... Not a good sign for the future.

If PSN account linking was the reason for delisting, since it’s not going to happen anymore, I’d say those countries will be able to play it once again.

There would be no logical reason to keep them delisted, unless they plan to force players to link their accounts later in the future when everyone’s forgotten about this. I wouldn’t discard this possibility completely.

Cyberspark,

As of posting, they’re all still delisted. And it’s a quick thing for Valve, Sony clearly hasn’t told them to undo the delisting.

Luckily the community ended up going "hey, wait a minute..." about this, too, and it's gained some attention. I hope Sony commits

Cyberspark,

Nothing. It’s still delisted in all those countries. Sony has said they’ll not add PSN, but hasn’t actually taken any action.

Mikufan, to games in Helldivers 2 - Sony no longer plans to enforce PSN account requirement for PC players

Judging by the numbers they would have lost like 70% of the player base…

EncryptKeeper,

It’s hard to imagine that at least half the player base isn’t on PS5 where they wouldn’t care about the requirement, but I’m sure it would still have been a significant hit.

Mikufan,

Im talking about the PC version. And 70% 1/2 of the player base (PC gamers are more monetarily valuable) is a significant hit. And anti advertising for sony as a whole.

sugar_in_your_tea,

And I doubt a significant percentage of PS5 owners with this game also bought it on PC.

SomeGuy69, to games in Helldivers 2 - Sony no longer plans to enforce PSN account requirement for PC players

They didn’t react because of Helldivers 2, it’s because of their upcoming PlayStation to PC ports, who will feature enforced PSN linkage and they now noticed, “oh fuck, so many people won’t like it and this will cost us sales”, right now only Helldivers player were angry and boycotting, soon it will be every possible Steam customer, who has to decided pro or against getting a mandatory PSN account, for stuff like Ghost of Tsushima and more.

I don’t see how anyone could be for it. What good does it make to be connected to a psn account? I had to make one the other day because my friend wanted to send me funny stuff he did on ps5 and couldn’t share it outside of the psn. They want more people to make accounts i guess. Even if you don’t own any ps devices.

sugar_in_your_tea,

It’s even more worthless than making an EA or Ubisoft account…

Remember to leave your review as negative and to not re-buy the game if you already refunded it.

His brains are more scrambled than his aunt’s.

TransplantedSconie,

Oof.

cyborganism,

He doesn’t sound crazy at all. He sounds pretty reasonable.

SatansMaggotyCumFart,

Are you voting for him?

Encode1307,

They’re Canadian, so no

SatansMaggotyCumFart,

I wonder why they’re trying to boost Bobby Brainworms.

I clicked because I thought it’d be a short ad. I’m not watching a 30 minute video of him attempting to debunk claims that he’s a conspiracy theorist. He is a conspiracy theorist.

cyborganism,

That’s too bad. I think it’s worth it.

Encode1307, to politics in The Bobby Kennedy video Meta doesn’t want you to see, narrated by Woody Harrelson.

Nice try junior

just_another_person, to politics in The Bobby Kennedy video Meta doesn’t want you to see, narrated by Woody Harrelson.

Skipped through it. Very humanizing. Still a crazy piece of shit anti-vaxer and conspiracy theorist.

To his PR team: just because you cut AROUND the crazy, doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist. Get this guy on a debate stage, and it’ll all flow out.

cyborganism,

I think you need to look at the whole video. He’s not an anti vaxxer. Him and his children are fully vaccinated.

He is just concerned about how pharmaceutical companies can’t get sued if they fuck up.

I haven’t followed him much outside of what most media are saying, and it’s not much. Can you tell me about the conspiracies?

just_another_person,

This was super easy to find. Could have done it yourself I’d say: forbes.com/…/rfk-jr-launches-independent-2024-run…
