I am curious how this is going to effect the number of active players. I know a lot of people who were trying to get me to play this saying it was here to stay and not a trend like a Lethal Company but I feel like this hurdle might be enough to get them to give up.
I definitely have a low level of tolerance for Russian nesting dolls of accounts and launchers.
Sony has a record of not respecting its workers, users or consumers.
2005 Sony BMG copy protection rootkit scandal
Now they want more userdata and kernel level anticheat. Surely there is no way for this to backfire
Look, I got hit with that stupid 2011 data breach PSN had and I still get scam emails with details from that due to the unique stuff I put in my various accounts. I'm not going to try to resurrect my now defunct account or create a new one so they can do more data mining and lose more of my PII, again.
Well deserved imo
i don’t even care about making the account, it’s just a throwaway email and password, but the rug pull for players from other countries isn’t fair at all
Can someone explain what is the big deal of creating a Playstation account? I know they've added the requirement retroactively, and I know everyone wants steam to be it's own thing, but this is not really a unique situation.. I have a lot of games across many publishers that have their own useless accounts tied to it. What makes this different?
no shit a bunch of my friend picked it up last month and were bugging me to buy it and join them. I get paid today and had planned on buying this weekend.
but I ain't got a playstation or PSN account so ima hold off. im not sure all of my friends do either, for that matter. back to modded CP2077 it is!
"Term of service"? Shmerms of shmervice. Fuck all the way off, there's a hundred other games that we can be playing.
Imagine having a golden goose and wanting to make pâté out of it. Sure does make me want to buy Ghost of Tsushima when it comes out, totally.
Lol, it's still got hundreds of thousands playing.
Theres some angry outrage for sure, but it don't think it's gonna wind up that bad in the end.
It's annoying, but it's like an Origin account for an EA game or something. At least with crossplay, having one admin team to manage bans on both platforms makes sense to streamline things.
For anyone who actually cares this was a requirement from the start they paused it due to some issues.
People need to read stuff before buying it.
It's no accident that many of these games are releasing their anti-features only after millions have purchased them and missed their return window.
EA did the same recently with Kernel anti-cheat in games they haven't serviced in years, games that actively cannibalise their latest titles!
Less players means less server running costs. Helldivers 2 might turn back or end up with this disastrous policy (for consumers) but until we have regulations on this, many companies will see the benefit of rugpulling software.
This doesn’t concern me. But holy hell, I’m getting hard Uplay flashbacks.
Mainly micro transactions. Though its not as bad as other games i don't agree with them being in games that cost money. If they are going to be added i think the game should be free. Its mainly a critique of online gaming in its current state.
The gameplay was not my kind of game but that's more of a personal preference than it being a bad game. I watched a ton of gameplay and had friends stream it to me and it looked very dull. He came across a lot of bugs while playing too such as clipping through the map forcing him to restart the entire mission.
Deserved
I'm bummed I missed my window to return it through steam. I downloaded it, gave it a couple tries and just couldn't figure out what I was supposed to be doing or when the fun was supposed to start. I couldn't figure out how to play with other people or what guns I was supposed to use against whatever enemy. None of it made sense and seemed like it was all just hype with no substance. It's still in my library, but I don't think it'll ever get a reinstall. I wish I could just gift it to someone else
Some countries like Ukraine are told that they need a console to make an account, you can't make this shit up lmao
So I bought the game in PS store. Installed it and went to play just to remember I need to pay for a subscription. Uninstalled and never looked back. I dropped my subscription in December and PS won't give me a reason too return. Maybe I can get GTA 5 for the 20th time for "free."
Well... Earth Defense Force 6 is coming.
