Nice, it's already banned where I live. Can't wait to pirate it.

Sony: Piracy is killing the industry! We need tougher legislation!

It costs them money to include, so they'll take it out eventually

[–] simple@lemm.ee 7 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Guess I'll wait it out, as usual.

[–] SupraMario@lemmy.world 6 points 4 months ago

It being a huge game everyone wants to play. %100 will get cracked within a month.

[–] LiveLM@lemmy.zip 1 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Is it announced to have it? Don't see anything on the Steam store page, games with Denuvo generally have a little warning there

[–] 4thDimensionDuck@programming.dev 1 points 4 months ago

hopefully not. the PSN debaucle is a bit suspect though. Sony's being a big douche lately.

[–] TheTechNerd@lemmy.world 38 points 4 months ago (2 children)

I think soon they will require a psn account for all their upcoming games

[–] hal_5700X@sh.itjust.works 17 points 4 months ago

Safe bet.

It's definitely an anti piracy measure. Which sucks complete fucking ass

Edit: it's multiplayer only

[–] Cheems@lemmy.world 6 points 4 months ago

There will definitely be a way around this easily for pirates. They may believe that if will stop piracy but it's really just going to be anti consumer

I already have a Steam account, I'm not giving yet another company my details and login data just to play a game on a platform I already have an account for. Nope.

What’s the point of region restricting PSN accounts?

[–] cottonmon@lemmy.world 13 points 4 months ago (1 children)

It's kind of weird too since they sell PS5s in regions where PSN isn't officially supported.

[–] Dariusmiles2123@sh.itjust.works 4 points 4 months ago

Except getting more user information, I don’t really see the big advantage for Sony so it’d be interesting to know why they want to require a PSN account in countries where you can’t get one.

Also I’d want to know why you can’t get one in some countries.

"Play has no limits"

[–] hal_5700X@sh.itjust.works -1 points 4 months ago (2 children)

Laws? 🤷‍♂️

[–] ABCDE@lemmy.world 5 points 4 months ago

Garbage cunts.
