So they can create a PSN account, it would just have to be one from a supported country like the USA, in which case they'd need to enter a valid US address I think?
Sony has every right to do what nearly all other publishers do on multiplayer games: Account Link and or launcher. The problem is two fold: PSN isn't everywhere and they did wait too long.
The boycott is going to be as successful as the CoD boycott.
I wouldn't say valid is the right word. They need to enter a address that exists is proabaly more fitting.
Lol yeah they are dealing with this in the worst way possible. Should've simply stuck with it and send a message about looking into a workaround for players who are not in PSN supported regions. Now they are simply looking they fucked up and giving only the demands of several chronically online people who are only in this for the shitshow.
I can see them make maybe one exception with Helldivers 2 because Arrowhead fucked up by making it optional after one week (because of their server issues). But backing down all together? No chance. They will do this for every 1st party multiplayer game. It's already confirmed for Ghost of Tsushima: Legends. And all the other Sony 1st party multiplayer games like Concord and Fairgamedollar are next. Sony is doing the same thing all the other publishers do. "Wanna play our multiplayer game? Create a PSN account." Just like how you need a Xbox Live account for Sea of Thieves on the PS5.
Yeah, sony playstation is a small brand and not a global brand, nobody knows sony, a boycott to H2 ruined Playstation history, is over, playstation is done
To be fair that was COD. Sony GaaS games aren't going to be even remotely as good as HD2 likely.
Thats been my thought too with all this noise. As soon as the cutoff date happens (june 6th?) you'll never hear people talk about this again. People will find work arounds like making a us psn account which takes 2 seconds.
The thing that surprised me the most:
Antarctica has Steam players? And Antarctica has its own national flag?
They already are a true global gaming brand.
?
They did at launch. It was just temporarily suspended while they dealt with the server issues.
They aren't going to backdown from requiring PSN for their games, no one else does. This will get worked out, Helldivers 2 won't survive it though.
Yea if it came with it out of the gate I think there would be grumbles but maybe even some enthusiasm if this meant Somy taking PC gaming seriously. The delay to release feels like they've latched onto a good thing to push this out. Shouls have been optional 100%.
Yep should have never backed down on this and people wouldn't have thought twice about it.
The cod boycott meme gotcha remains really disingenuous. On steam people playing games show before those who aren't in a group. So yes the first 3 pages had people playing Call of Duty but it went on for 50 something. The series collapsed on pc for years
I wouldn't say no complaints, you should have seen some of the transparent fanboy shit that people were posting on GAF (and here) in reaction to mandated XBL logins. Not quite the same, and it never got this bad, but whew boy, I still remember some of those posts for how mindbogglingly fanboyish they got.

Fair. In my mind and impression, it's usually the only place where scientific research is always conducted.
People on Reddit seemingly think this move could actually be coming from... Valve?
It's the top comment over there.
Why would Valve do this? This isn't the first controversial game on Steam, and Valve never delisted a game before.People on Reddit seemingly think this move could actually be coming from... Valve?

It would sound reasonable, given that there are a ton of refund requests from countries with no PSN support. I don't know how much to disagree on this though.People on Reddit seemingly think this move could actually be coming from... Valve?
