They should have done this from the beginning, it would have avoided a lot of the problems (even though these countries don't represent 5% of total sales) but it's just Sony being stupid. Now, just wait for all this drama to pass, I'm curious to know how much this actually affected the number of players

I don’t think it will affect them that much. All they have to do is add the hive lord worms the dune buggy vehicles & the new faction early June release a trailer for the new faction & everyone will forget about all of this.

People forget, this won't last more than a month, just look at all the similar cases, it's always the same narrative and in the end they end up accepting the impositions

This is no longer about certain countries not being able to create PSN or that Sony isn’t trust worthy or risk of data breaches. This is now solely to not require a PSN & completely getting rid of it because PC gamers don’t want to be tally up for PS shareholders & help PS statistics

I wish they all had that same energy to fight against Rockstar, EA, Riot, Ubisoft, Blizzard, Microsoft and Epic games, but just like everyone else, they won't achieve anything

Nothing will happen, the game has as big a player base on PSN as on steam. And honestly most normal people don't give a fuck about timmy from phillipines and ho lee shit from china not being able to play the game. The only thing that should matter is if you are personally effected, if yes then get a refund and move on

What I don’t understand is the CEO is saddened by review bombing but why is your community manager told the hold discord to review bomb. They really brought all of this upon themselves when they should’ve stayed quite & email PS for answers & resolution

So why is it okay for every other company to have accounts? They have all had data breaches.

Or is it only bad when Sony does it?

Steam data breaches are legendary. I wouldn't trust my details with a turd network run by a private company with no accountability.
