Wait, what happened to all the delisted countries?

nokturne213,

Those were countries where psn is unavailable.

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.

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.

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.

Kelly,

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

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.
