    Nintendo Nintendo is suing Palworld (Update: Palworld will fight back)

    https://www.404media.co/cold-blooded-business-nintendo-is-patent-trolling-palworld-because-it-got-too-big/ Extremely good article on the topic. Mostly speculative, but very insightful as its an interview with the CEO of a Japan game industry consulting firm. Basically, Nintendo would likely not...

    I lived most of my childhood and teenage years without internet access due to living in a poor family in rural Mississippi.

    ...I'm getting way too upset. My apologies for the vitriolic sarcasm. I will go take a breather.

    How dare I value being able to own and play the things I purchase on my own time. I am an entitled brat, truly, with nothing to offer. I definitely didn't spend thousands of dollars on the 1000+ games I own. Nope. Definitely not. Most of them don't require accounts? Must be a me problem! I...

    No but really this forum is not good for me or my mental health Play Love Exalt 8372 Hell, play Romancing Saga 2's remake and Freedom Wars Remastered when they come out. You'll thank me, or you'll have bad taste. One of the two.

    Lets take a look at the last games I played shall we? Of the last 20 games I played, 3 of them require logging into an account. Two of those three are multiplayer, and the third is soon to get an offline patch that will no longer require signing in. (The Crew 2)

    I don't need to sign into a Bandai Namco account to play .hack//GU or Tales of Berseria I don't need to sign into a Square Enix account to play Kingdom Hearts III or Romancing SaGa 2's remake. I don't need to sign into an NIS account to play Trails into Reverie or Disgaea 6. I don't need to sign...

    Games do not need DRM or piracy prevention in order to be successful. People buy DRM free games (see GoG). People buy games with weak DRM (see Steam and Epic). Denuvo as a tool for piracy prevention, while it does work, and while yes, there are people who pirate out of habit, is not necessary...

    Yknow what it being a "cover your ass" thing to avoid lawsuits I could totally see. They could be always just...not require PSN in the first place on most of these games tho

    I misunderstood at first, but I think Danja is saying that the region locking is caused by the fuss PC gamers made about the PSN requirement indirectly pushing Sony to place the region locking restriction, and their argument is that because of that, any loss caused by region locking can only be...

    Sony placed region locks on the regions that don't have PSN stores. There are many countries where you literally cannot press the purchase button to get the game. You cannot put that on anyone other than the person who hosts the store page.

    This is false You do not need a PSN account to play the games you purchase, generally speaking. If I put a disc into my PS5, I do not need to connect to PSN in order to play it. I own a PS3 and a PS5. I have a PSN account. Do not cite the ancient texts to me. I was there when they were written...

    Ah yes, another way to ensure pirates get a better product than paying customers Its true though, that would prevent piracy for a while. But preventing piracy is not worth hindering paying customers, unless you are a corporate executive or a shareholder.

    Depends on the age of the games and consoles. If the console is currently jailbroken and/or there's functional emulators available, then yes, absolutely. In the case of the PS5, which is currently not fully jailbroken (you can dump games, but you can't play pirated copies), no. If your intention...

    PC gamers are not the ones who put a requirement to be in a region where you can have a PSN account in order to purchase the game. Sony did that. Sony added the region locking.

    We're trying to tell you that blocking people from being able to buy a game means they will turn to other avenues. Yes, the game would've been pirated regardless; every game gets pirated, piracy is a non issue. But the amount of piracy surely must be affected by one's ability to purchase and...

    I mean even I have a PSN account, its not having an account thats an issue imo (though there are countries where people can't make PSN accounts), its that single player games don't have a good reason to need to connect to the internet, and requiring that inhibits the ability to play offline. But...
