    Put that shit on GoG and maybe I’ll consider buying it.

    DRM is still drm, be it one layer like steam or two layers with extra 3rd party account requirements.

    Huh… Did not have money on Sony blinking on this. Happy to be wrong. Guess that Steam revenue was getting threatened.

      Me neither. Glad to see it. Of course they still require it for multiplayer games like Helldiver’s, which is what set this whole thing off in the first place.

      Currently the games are still only for sale in regions where PSN is available. I won’t relent until that goes away too.

      Is there any argument for region locking games? Doesn’t even need to be good.
      I did kind of understand why they region locked dvd players back in the day (if we can make them pay twice why shouldn’t we, after all we are despicable morons who can only look a line that goes up). But for games, I can’t make sense of it.

        If a game is illegal in a region, you don’t want to sell it in that region.

        That’s the only good reason I can think of.

        Well it was kinda logical when the PSN account was required, in the sense that you can’t activate it in the country it’s sold in because PSN doesn’t work in that country (another question is why it doesn’t but let’s not focus on that). But since there is no more PSN requirement then there’s nothing stopping people from activating it so it makes no sense to region lock it now.

    Playing the game used to be the requirement to get content out of it, and no account needed.
