Mutahar, one of the biggest social media voices in the PC gaming space, is advocating for pirating Ghost of Tsushima

I dont understand. What else are people supposed to do in those regions?
It's not like anybody ACTUALLY buys these ports anyways lmao

Buy a ps5, or wait until Sony releases the game officially, or make an account in a different region.

These are all avenues to play without stealing.

That's called entitlement.

I don't steal games that are only released in Japan just because I'm entitled. I either import it or don't play it. Simple.

Try and read what i said again but with less anger this time. I am not saying these regions are pirating games, I am saying they are buying from unofficial channels for 2x, 3x the price. PSN can earn a lot of money directly by giving people access to PSN. People can make a PSN account anywhere but credit cards don't work. Even if that is somehow resolved, Sony can control these markets.

Piracy is a service issue - Gabe Newell.

That guy is dumb asking people to pirate the game but Sony is to blame for piracy and black markets. They should have released these single player games with denuvo. Also they should upgrade their online infrastructure already.

I agree with you. I have a lot of criticism for Sony for not allowing account registrations in all countries. But that doesn't mean people get to steal.

The first and the third anwser is not really solving the main problem though, since you still have to make an account outside your region, which is the reason why the game is delisted in the first place.

I dont understand why you fanboys are mad, that Sony will make less money from their PC port. Isnt that good? Isnt that what you want?
If they want people to actually buy It, then add denuvo.

And it gets worse, since the game is delisted in those markets on Steam what he's actually asking them to do is change their entire Steam setup just to fix an issue with PSN services due to the bolted on multiplayer mode in an otherwise singleplayer game.

All of these countries have a gaming market. Most of it is dominated by Sony. Not having an official presence in these regions even after so many decades is not good business. PSN can make a ton of money from digital purchases because people won't have to deal with third-party sellers who themselves decide what a game or console will be sold for. A popular PS5 game can go for upwards of $120.

Not much of a gaming market in most of those. A console there can cost more than an average monthly salary. 90% of people living in some of those countries can't afford one, let alone games.

They should have cut the online multiplayer.
Cant wait to see how modders will ruin that one.
I remember when Helldivers 1 came out on PC and shared the galactic war progress between consoles and PC. We were winning the galactic wars in 10 minutes, becouse PC master race were modding and cheating the progress bar.

Cheating is the reason why I hope that GT7 will never come to PC. It's gonna be a complete shit fest.

 

[rofif]

No. don't get ps4 or ps5 and buy the game. Just pirate it. Pathetic.
Anyway. I just bought callisto protocol for steam for 5$ and forgotten city for 2$.... from cdkeys. That's probably even worse than just pirating those games.
That said - I've bought callisto day1 on ps5 for 70$ and sold after finishing because it was trash.
And Forgotten city is incredible. the only game I finished on gamepass lol. it was time to just have it on steam. I am still hunting for ps5 disc.
edit: Anyway - pc gamers have tons of options for cheap games and piracy. That was my point and the reason it sucks as a platform to release single player games nowadays. And pc players dont spend full price almost never

How do you think cutting content would have gone over with the PC crowd? Be completely honest.

 

[Muddasar]

This is your PC crowd.

Enjoy Sony.

 

[VillaiN]

Is that fkin pajeet? I hope some1 f4om sony see these posts.

Congratulations sony you brought this problem yourself

 

[thicc_girls_are_teh_best]

The dude is a two-faced hypocrite. He pirates Nintendo games behind the veneer of "well they aren't available for purchase" (yeah right, does anyone believe that he's only emulating old games? Get the fuck outta here) and now he's just exposing that he doesn't give a shit about supporting devs that are actively selling the game. He just thinks that people are entitled to play games whenever they want, for free. Instead of advocating for Sony to establish a retail storefront in those countries he just tells them to steal. He's a complete poser and this is the reason AAA games stayed away from PC for over a decade.

And Microsoft helped cultivate that mentality with their astroturfing, all to take digs at PlayStation. Even knowing fully well, that was also weaponizing PCMR fecal matter like Mutahar.

I do genuinely think the PCMR/Steam fanboys are the worst fanbase in the gaming community. I'd say it goes like this:

1: PCMR/Steam fecal swine > 2: Xbox shills & bots > 3: PlayStation ponies > 4: Nintendo gnomes

I dont really care to be honest. It's their problem. Not like they are buying It anyways. Why should the PlayStation userbase suffer becouse Sony wants a bigger MAU number this month.

 

[JAHGamer]

Even more needless controversy that'll probably push the showcase back even further.

 

[Umar]

This whole pc and psn push has been one big fiasco

This is not true.
