@NoxinPistol Ай бұрын

Sony is so used to having a community of Playstation boot-lickers, especially when some of them were defending the mandatory PSN requirement that is unavailable for countries like us, that they didn't realize that the larger PC market isn't going to take their crap and put up with it. That being said, everyone is so enamored by the first paragraph that most people would gloss over the second one that shows that Sony hasn't given up. "We're still learning what is best for PC Players" is just corporate speak that actually says "We're still figuring out what we can get away with". So I advise people to never let their guard down against these tyrannical companies.

@paulvermeulen848 27 күн бұрын

That's the thing I love about Steam; even if you've owned the game for 3 months and have played many hours of it, they'll refund you if the company has broken their side of consumer agreements and screwed you over by changing TOS. So companies can't get away with doing scummy things on Steam.

For those who aren't aware, the issue wasn't simply that a game required having a PSN account. The issue was that having a PSN account *wasn't* a requirement when people bought the game, then they had the rug pulled out from under them. Other games in the future will likely have a requirement for a PSN account, and that will be accepted (perhaps begrudgingly) in cases where it was stated up front. But hopefully this situation makes Sony realize that they either need to get PSN to work in more countries without region locking or they need to drop the requirement for a PSN account for those games in order to expand their market reach further. A game like Helldivers II has had incredible success, and it's in no small part because of the fact that it was accessible to people who didn't have a PSN account.

I also raised my eyebrows at that statement, "We're still learning what's best for PC players blah blah blah". Forcing us into the PlayStation environment is absolutely not what's best for us. I may already have a PS account linked, but I believe entry into that cesspool should be a choice. Not a requirement that must be met in order to play a game you may have already purchased for a platform which is nearly, completely unrelated to PlayStation.

This is the Saddest state/insanity of gaming ever. Imagine being a year 0 og xbox/playstation console user (ur the true ones who got xbox/playstation to the position theyre in today) and microsoft/Sony tells you "we are still learning whats best for PC players" LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL. Remember back in the SANE days when PC players was getting annoyed on purpose and microsoft/sony was focusing on making good games for their first class xbox/playstation console citizens? We are truly living in the end times of BASIC SANITY. Instead of them learning whats best for PC players - they should go back to learning whats best for making great consoles that ship with good complete games......like the OLD SANE FUNCTIONING DAYS. LOL u cant make this up. as more and more time goes by....u can just witness insanity taking over more and more we contine to let weirdos run the show. FIre phil spencer.

🙄 I don’t understand why people are reacting to that line. It’s not some imbedded code speak. You just need to translate corpo speech to regular talk. “We are still learning…” is just a way to save face. It’s saying “we messed up” without being direct. “What’s best for PC players” is actually quite direct. Sony spent 2 decades trying to create an exclusive environment for their titles and effectively locked out anyone without a PlayStation from playing their games for years. They want to take a bite out of the PV gamer market but they still have this mindset of creating an exclusive ecosystem. They are actually learning, and hopefully they can extrapolate these experiences for future decisions.. Lastly, one thing that I have noticed after watching Charlie and Asmongold talk about this situation is that there is a concerted effort to try and create a narrative as to WHY Sony would do this or find out some type of greedy motivation. In my opinion- this whole situation was probably just an accident. Sony (I think) wasn’t trying to pull a fast one or get greedy, they were just trying to implement the plan they had from the beginning- mandatory account linking. The whole “why sell it to these countries..” argument is valid, but doesn’t mean they were being malicious. Whoever handles distribution probably wasn’t made aware that they SHOULD blacklist countries without PSN accounts. That’s an easy mistake to make in a big corporation. Another explanation is that the people handling distribution just fucked up there. A third explanation is that steam may have fucked up and not implemented the distribution plan correctly. Obviously these are all problematic, but they are hardly “evil! Bad!” Sonys willingness to walk back with this statement just goes to show that they really like money. They don’t want to restrict access to their game. They probably didn’t even realize so many countries had these issues with PSN accounts when they made the decision to require account linking. Lastly, for all the countries who have the “must own a PS4 or PS5” requirement- there is probably a good reason for that. A lot of hackers come from these Eastern European countries and (just a guess) the requirement to own a console is probably just a way to prevent as many hackers. They probably don’t sell many titles to PC users in those countries as well. I’m not a Sony fanboy or anything like that, but I do enjoy my PS5. I’m glad people worked together to fix this problem and I’m glad Sony made the decision to walk back the requirements.

Lets be honest here, it was not the players ranting that made them reverse course, it was Steam offering the refund. If Steam didn't do that, SOE would have told players to sit on a stick and spin. Honestly, I don't think Sony will do anything regarding HD2 in the future. I think they freaked out because so many people killed their SOE sub due to the SB boycott, and it is close to the end of the quarter. So they thought they could boost their numbers this way to look good on their quarterly report. The only thing that changed their mind, was that so many refunds were happening after Steam allowed it, they realized that was even worse than the lost subs and folded.
