The requirement was disabled. Most people aren’t lawyers and shouldn’t be expected - or legally obligated - to read a legal document before engaging in an everyday task. Do you want life to be like this, boot-licker?
Well that’s a shame because that’s how things like copyright laws work. That’s why companies like Nintendo are so overly litigious. Whether you like it or not, people bought Helldivers 2 and didn’t need to have a PSN account to play it. Now Sony is making it so they do, several months after purchase and long after customers would typically be able to get a refund. Sony never gave information on the waived requirement coming back, customers could only possibly know there was originally a requirement for yet another third-party account that serves little purpose to the user and that requirement was waived. For months now players have been buying the game, launching it and actively playing it without once signing in to PSN. This is also going to cause a subset of owners to completely lose access to the game they legitimately bought because of Sony’s short-sightedness to enforce a network requirement in countries that network simply doesn’t exist. This is a case of moving the goalposts, arbitrarily removing content from legally-abiding customers and this isn’t the first time. Maybe you’ve already forgotten the controversy with Discovery? This isn’t a good look for Sony to be pulling content from clients twice within 6 months, no matter how different the means.
As if this comes as a surprise in any capacity. Governments are the biggest criminals out so why wouldn’t they back up other thieves so long as they’re also worth millions already.
That said, this reads as though they truly think the protections that are already in place are good enough. It’s the standard governing body problem of being at least a decade behind, they still live in a world where things can’t just be unplugged by someone not inside your house.
I don’t disagree but aside for The Crew (at a time before Ubi crafted a reputation as a bunch of scumlords) I haven’t bought one yet the market is still littered with them. I used to be one of those people who would preach from the gospel of Jim Fucking Sterling Son and just like the original, I’ve only watched things get predictably worse.
Unfortunately this as a suggestion doesn’t fix the problem of games that are being stolen now, only the ones you don’t buy in the future, assuming things don’t get even worse. It’ll only get worse before it gets better. Voting with your wallet is a fix for the future and only if people aren’t short-sighted morons (something you should absolutely never bank on) but we need a fix for the past.
Given the botched launch, this isn’t much of a surprise. Only thing I can say is that I hope it serves as a lesson to people with the mindset of “this game’ll be great ^in 5 years^”
In which case, I’ll clarify that I meant the people who bought, found it was borked then chose to wait for updates instead of getting an easily deserved refund.
Just let Obsidian make them, for crying out loud. Let them pick the engine, write it, develop it a reasonable time frame (the time they need) and make it as good as they possibly can. Despite the many hamstrings, New Vegas is still easily the best game of the franchise (at least of the 3D ones) and that speaks volumes.
I don’t disagree. I’m just thinking of assets Microsoft has already got their hooks in. That and Obsidian proved themselves to be better than Bugthesda.
Don’t see the point of having released this refresh, splashed the dumbass ye olde mindset warning on the start up screen only to keep walking back any amount of sexiness in it. Are these idiots trying to bury Lara as one of rhe sexiest female icons of gaming or something? What a sad bunch.
I couldn’t agree more. Back during the initial pitches of the Steam Machines, I was a supporter of the concept and was looking forward to the release. In my market, they took a long time to release and ended up being stupidly expensive. To give an idea, in my market an i3-powered unit was expensive as an i7-powered one in the US despite not having that problem with PC components or even prebuilts. Eventually I spent the money on a parts to build my own rig that was significantly more capable than what the Steam Machine of equal cost would have been. I found little ways to make being a couch PC gamer viable without breaking the bank on horribly expensive niche products like lapboards and it’s enabled me to become a PC gamer despite having been a console boy for so long. It’s a shame because I think Steam Machines would make PC gaming so much more approachable to the average consumer (which I was at the time) and I hope they still manage to in the future.
This screams so damn fake. If they ever wanted to make a good game, they should have made it before releasing it, let alone prioritising DLC for a game they are more than aware of being borked at release.
I know. I’m personally looking forward to WB declaring bankruptcy now that the morons have announced they’re doubling down on shitservice despite Hogwarts and Shiticide Squad showing what the public actually wants.
If they’re arrogant enough to think they can survive without the modders, let them die, I say. Fuck around and find out.
Edit: looks like I found the butthurt fanboys 😂 You people need to establish a sense of both taste and quality cause god knows you’re only making the problem worse by stupidly throwing your money at Todd’s false advertising.
Frankly I don’t care for the delusions of the other comments, whatever they may be. The comment I responded to was on the subject of the questionable decisions Bugthesda has made recently, evidenced in abundance with Starfield in regards to making even the modder’s “job” difficult. Whether they’re actively hindering Fallout: London or not changes nothing, especially not the fact they’re a bunch of incompetent hacks, criminals and liars.
That’s right, losers, keep downvoting. Denial has been proven to be medically beneficial 😂
Good on them. Cuntlords like Unity shouldn’t be allowed to exist if they want to act like a mob boss with their “I’ve changed the terms. Be grateful I don’t change them further” attitude.
Manchester United striker Hoylund joined his former club's celebrations following Atalanta's 3-0 Europa League win over Liverpool on Thursday night. However, this result may not be beneficial for the Red Devils to participate in the Champions League next season.
Klopp's Liverpool performed shockingly at Anfield, they were scored twice by former West Ham United import player Scamacca and was frozen by Mario Phasalic. Atlanta's victory gave them an overwhelming advantage in promoted. Next week in Bergamo, Liverpool must win by 4 goals to reach the semi-finals, it can be said that one foot is out.
Meanwhile, Hoylund joined Manchester United from Atlanta last summer for a transfer fee of £73 million.
Although the Danish striker only played for Atlanta for one season, he clearly still has his eyes on his old club. After Atalanta's win, Hoylund posted a photo of the team celebrating at Anfield, accompanied by the words "Mola mia", a Bergamo proverb meaning "never give up".
It is completely understandable that Hoylund cheers for his old team, but from Manchester United's perspective, Ten Hag may still hope that Liverpool can create a miracle and turn the game around. Because of the results of the Europa League, the Premier League has fallen behind in the fight to win another spot in the Champions League next season.
Aston Villa in the UEFA Cup were the only team in the Premier League to win the European Championship this week, beating Lille. In the Europa League, in addition to the miserable defeat against Liverpool, West Ham United was also defeated 0-2 away from home by Leverkusen and is also at risk of being eliminated. In the Champions League, Manchester City and Arsenal drew with their opponents.
Now, Serie A is firmly in first place in UEFA's coefficient list and will almost certainly receive a Champions League spot, while the Bundesliga and Premier League will compete for another spot. Bayer Leverkusen's victory slightly improved the Bundesliga's scoring record.
Manchester United
The UEFA Champions League will expand in scale in the 2024/25 season, with 36 participating teams, 4 more places than currently, 2 of the positions will be determined through "European War Achievements" . Specifically, the two leagues with the best overall performance in European tournaments this season can add one additional team to participate. Specifically, in the Premier League there are already 4 spots, even the 5th ranked team can participate.
According to UEFA's coefficient calculation equation, a winning team gets 2 points, a draw gets 1 point, a losing team gets 0 points, and when entering the next stage, bonus points will be added. The statistical result is divided by the total number of clubs participating in the tournament and the result is: UEFA coefficient of the tournament.
At this time, Serie A is far ahead with 18,714 points, Bundesliga has 16,928 points, Premier League has 16,875 points, La Liga has 15,062 points, Ligue 1 has 14,750 points. The main battle between England and Germany is the fight for second place.
Manchester United
There are 7 Serie A teams in the European competition this season and there are currently 4, their highest potential points coefficient is 23,428 points, 3 of the 7 Bundesliga teams are still playing, and the highest possible coefficient is 22,500 points, 5 out of 8 Premier League teams participating, the team is not eliminated and the maximum score coefficient is up to 24 points. But this requires Manchester City, Arsenal, Liverpool, West Ham and Villa to achieve good results in the next matches.
Among the opponents, Bayern Munich will meet Arsenal at home in round 2 and could progress, Leverkusen will also advance to the Europa League as long as they do not lose heavily in the away match. to win the championship. The laggard in the Bundesliga could be Dortmund, they lost 1-2 at home to Atletico Madrid in the first leg of the Champions League quarterfinals and are also at risk of being eliminated.
Manchester United is currently ranked 6th in the Premier League, 11 points behind Tottenham and Villa. It is difficult to overcome both teams at the same time. A more realistic goal is to strive for 5th place and hope for an opponent in the Premier League. can win the championship. Champions League in the European war.

Yeah, I’ve been able to find a post on Twitter as their current situation which isn’t much, unfortunately. I know it’s really shitty to make this about me or even other fans in a similar situation but as someone who stopped watching RT something like 5 years ago when all of the big changes started happening and multiple new hosts I didn’t like, came back when F*ckface took over the Let’s Play channel and started making more of the type of content I used to love so much only for them to get shutdown (and not even know it was coming) sucks so freaking much. Hell, they’ve only just posted the first video of a month’s worth of content. It’s shit like this that makes me absolutely loathe the corpo scum.
