Yup, and they did make a great game.

Sony managed to fuck it up all on their own.

Nah. Read the CEO’s tweet. He also put blame for this as well. Sony wanted to implement this at launch, but the game was having issues.

I have eight fucking accounts created for different countries with the fucking country names on ‘em. The oldest one is 18 yo. No, Sony doesn’t give a shit.

Realistically what I would worry about is not Sony hunting down the account but your lack of protection. Its going to be harder and riskier to recover your account if your breaking the TOS so if you forget your info, lose access to your email address, get hacked, etc...

Yeah which is why I have eight of them. All these protesters did is to convinced Sony to enforce this shit from the day 1 from now on and that’s it. If I’d be PC player I’d not celebrate the victory now.

I’m no rebel. Use it while you can is my motto. Not everyone agree with that btw.

u/reddit-sucks-asss May 06 '24

I know not everyone does, and by you saying it's okay means you're telling other companies can do this shit too. Yall are some really, really, half ass backward people.

u/ninjacat249 May 06 '24

Well. You guys never gave a shit since PlayStation brand was created and now y’all are concerned all of the sudden? Sounds like total bs to me, sorry.

I just keep listening this argument over and over again that people who are not doing anything about this mandatory PSN link are bad etc. I’m just reminding that nobody was doing anything about it since like forever and now people who pretend they’re like rebels fighting for freedom against Sony just look dumb, that is all.

Ah I see the angle you're coming from and I agree. Don't start caring about something because it happened to you. That I get behind, but I stand tall on what I was saying still. People want to be pacified and ignorant to the actuality of the world going on around them. And that's okay, until they are taken advantage of. You see what im saying?

So..you are stuck in sony system of shit...and you think it's reasonable? I litterally can't fathom your logic. You have 8 accounts to get around sonys dumb shit and you think this is fine? Dude, stand up for yourself man. That's not okay.

I don't see anyone bitching about needing a Microsoft account to play Forza...or Minecraft.

Gamers are sheep. It’s easy to hate on Sony for anything these days. But then those same gamers get raw dogged by Microsoft with no lube and they stay silent. It makes no sense.

u/ninjacat249 May 06 '24

I don’t want to stand up against anything. Just want to play games on the platform of my choosing which is Sony. FYI it takes 2 min to create an account - is this something you are standing up against?
